    • The host said the team's 'two point guards, I guess, technically' were Brandon Williams and De'Anthony Melton. He called Williams not a natural point guard, though he thought Williams did his best. at 7:06
    • De'Anthony Melton provided scoring off the bench. By context the host gave his line as 4-for-8 from three and 8-for-13 overall; the 'he' in that line follows the Melton discussion. at 3:17
    • The host said the turnover problems that sank the Warriors were largely a Melton problem. A couple of his three turnovers came when he dribbled down the floor and handed the ball to the defense. at 3:24
    • Host hope: Melton will have less ball-handling responsibility once Podziemski and Curry are back. at 7:56

    “Depleted Warriors Fall Short To Suns” · listen ↗

  • Podcast Locked On NBA host · Report · around the league

    Against Phoenix, rookie Yaxel Lendeborg and De'Anthony Melton both played well. Golden State still lost by nine as Devin Booker got the Suns their first win.

  • Podcast Hardwood Knocks host · Report · around the league

    Gui Santos is starting games for Golden State. De'Anthony Melton started because Brandin Podziemski was hurt.

    • Georges Niang and De'Anthony Melton are basically the first two players off the bench. The host says neither looked good. at 6:28
    • Gui Santos and De'Anthony Melton each played about 20 minutes. at 6:55
    • Host objects to the rotation: De'Anthony Melton plays twice as much as Brandon Williams, and Georges Niang comes in before Gui Santos. at 7:25
    • Host's view: late-game offensive options are thin. If Curry misses, Brandin Podziemski is next, then maybe an unnamed rookie or De'Anthony Melton. at 19:53

    “Warriors Collapse, Memphis Capitalizes” · listen ↗

    • Charlie Walter: Host opinion: the roster has too many guards doing the same thing (Will Richard, Gary Payton II, Melton). He thinks the team should have spent $4–5 million on a big body. at 4:40
    • Charlie Walter: Host opinion: De'Anthony Melton hasn't had a good game in about a year. The host believes the Warriors re-signed him for maybe about $4 million but says not to quote him on the figure. He also says Melton looked flustered in the opener. at 19:45
    • Charlie Walter: Host analysis: getting Brandin Podziemski back is important. Someone who scores about 17 a night is better than Melton, who the host suggests scored zero. at 34:04

    “Golden State Warriors Need Strong Weekend To Avoid A Real Spiral” · listen ↗

  • Podcast Locked On Warriors · 2 points ·
    • De'Anthony Melton was put into the starting lineup and struggled, going 0-for-4. at 7:28
    • Host opinion: De'Anthony Melton has not played good basketball for a long time. The host added that he won't judge Melton off this one game. at 19:20

    “Golden State Warriors First Day Of Season Was A DISASTER!” · listen ↗

  • Podcast Locked On Warriors · 2 points ·
    • Charlie Walter: Chuck's open question: who guards Luka Doncic? Would the Warriors give Yaxel Lendeborg that job in his NBA debut, or does Podziemski's injury open the door for De'Anthony Melton to take Luka or Austin Reaves? at 5:08
    • Charlie Walter: Chuck says going bigger with Bassey may be the best option on paper, but it costs too much on offense. The team looks better with Gui Santos, and Melton shouldn't miss much of a beat as a starter. at 9:11

    “IT'S HERE! Warriors And Lakers Season Opener Preview Show!” · listen ↗

    • Matt Kolsky: A host thinks Gary Payton II, De'Anthony Melton and Brandon Williams are all in the rotation. at 5:12
    • The hosts said Payton, Melton and Williams are all the same size, are not wings and are not natural shooters. Williams is not a shooter and Payton is streaky. As a result, the team is very short on size and wing play until reinforcements arrive. at 5:21
    • The hosts said the team lacks two-way players and that Podziemski or Melton may be its best two-way player, which they called not the answer you want. at 32:04

  • Podcast Locked On Warriors host · Opinion · name not confirmed

    The host says a lineup of Melton, GP2, Gui Santos, Georges Niang and Horford lacks the firepower and should never be used.

  • Podcast Locked On Warriors · 3 points ·
    • Bench units with Al Horford, Gary Payton II and De'Anthony Melton struggled, and Sacramento repeatedly regained the lead while they played. Host calls depth a big issue. at 15:25
    • De'Anthony Melton went 0 of 6 with zero points but had three blocks. Host says he is "down and out" on Melton until Melton proves him wrong. at 16:29
    • Host's conditional read: Richard will probably see little time if Kerr goes back to Payton II, if De'Anthony Melton keeps a long leash, and especially if Moody and Butler return soon. at 28:09

  • Podcast Locked On Warriors host · Analysis ·

    Host estimates about $37 million in outgoing salary (Porzingis, Moody, Melton, Payton II) as the realistic best case for a trade. Later he puts it at roughly $35 million.
