The Warriors and point guard Quinn Cook have agreed to a two-way contract according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. Cook played 14 games combined with the Mavericks and Pelicans last season, and spent training camp with the Hawks.

The Warriors now have three traditional point guards on their roster, with Cook joining Curry and Livingston, beefing up Golden State’s backcourt depth a bit. The Warriors’ roster is now capped at 17. Cook joins rookie forward Chris Boucher as the players given the team’s two alloted two-way contracts, which are essentially a retainer that teams can place on younger players they want to be the 16th and 17th men on their roster, holding their rights as they bounce between the G-League.

Cook, 24, was a standout at Duke, and was named a second team All-American while helping the school win an NCAA title his senior year. Cook has also been a D-League, now called the G-League, standout for the past two seasons, making the All-Star team in both 2016 and 2017. Cook has averaged 5.8 points in 13.4 minutes per game in his short NBA career.
