Warriors sign Gary Payton II to contract to fill final roster spot - NBC Sports Bay Area

Payton saw brief action in 10 games for the Warriors last season but he impressed over the summer and during a brief preseason explosion.

Payton missed most of the Warriors' preseason action while recovering from an offseason inguinal hernia surgery.

In Payton II, the Warriors get a defensive-minded guard who can come off the bench and serve as the point-of-attack defender Golden State lacked last season.
