Get. Excited.
Fredette never panned out in the NBA, but became a legend in two seasons with the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball Association. During his the 2016-17 season, Fredette averaged 37.6 points and was named regular season MVP. He followed that up by averaging 36.9 points per game during the 2017-18 season.

Fredette made a brief return to the NBA at the end of this past season, playing in six games with the Phoenix Suns. He averaged 3.7 points in 10.8 minutes.
The Warriors are in desperate need of healthy bodies and shooters, so taking a chance on Fredette can't hurt. If he impresses in Las Vegas, they could offer him a minimum contract and hope he helps the team next season.
