Brandon Williams reunites with high school teammate after joining Warriors
Brandon Williams signed with the Golden State Warriors Tuesday, reuniting with De'Anthony Melton, his former high school teammate.
The Golden State Warriors have signed free agent guard Brandon Williams on a one-year deal, joining a roster that already includes several returning contributors like Draymond Green, Kristaps Porziņģis, and Al Horford. During his time with Dallas, Williams contributed 13 points, 3.9 assists, 2.9 rebounds, 0.9 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game in the 2025-2026 season.
This move is particularly significant as Williams reunites with one of his former high school teammates in the NBA. Both Williams and Golden State guard De'Anthony Melton attended Crespi Carmelite High School in Los Angeles, winning back-to-back state championships in 2015 and 2016 - one season as Melton's junior and Williams' freshman, and the other as Melton's senior and Williams' sophomore.
Now playing together in the NBA, Williams and Melton could find themselves in the same lineups as Golden State's second unit. The connection between these two players extends beyond the court, with their shared championship experience at Crespi High in Los Angeles.
