Kyle Anderson, who helped the Minnesota Timberwolves reach the Western Conference finals this season has found a new home. The forward is set to sign a three-year, $27M contract with the Warriors via a sign-and-trade with Minnesota.
Nicknamed “Slow Mo”, Anderson played from 2012-2014 with the UCLA Bruins. He then was drafted 30th overall in the 2014 draft. After playing with the Spurs, he went to Memphis until 2022. Anderson was with the Timberwolves until this season. This will be his third team, all in the Western Conference.
The New York City native won the Most Outstanding Player of the Pac-12 tournament during his sophomore season with the Bruins.
