De'Anthony Melton Golden State Warriors 2025-26 season highlights
Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton impressed with his defense off the bench during the 2025-26 season.
De Anthony Melton enjoyed a healthier season with the Golden State Warriors in the 2025-26 campaign. He appeared in 49 games, marking a significant improvement from just six games last season. Melton's contribution on the court was noteworthy, tallying a career-high 12.3 points per game. His performance was rounded off with 3.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.6 steals, and 0.4 blocks per contest.
However, Melton's three-point shooting fell short of his usual standards, sinking fewer than 30% of his three-point attempts. Despite this, his defensive prowess remained a standout feature, causing chaos for opposing teams on the perimeter. Melton's unique skills were recognized by NBA 2K27, earning him a place among the league's best pickpockets.
The return of Stephen Curry to full health will see Melton step up to the bench for defense, three-point shooting, and secondary shot creation. His highlights from the 2025-26 season provide a glimpse into his impactful season. For further NBA content, listeners can tune in to the BasketBaltes podcast on YouTube or Instagram.
