One of the few bright spots in the fiasco, could the Warriors consider signing this versatile undrafted player?

In a previous NBA Development League game, the Los Angeles Lakers' South Bay Lakers, an affiliate of the NBA Development League, defeated the Santa Cruz Warriors, an affiliate of the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Development League, 115-95 at home. After this game, the South Bay Lakers' record improved to 4 wins and 1 loss, while the Santa Cruz Warriors suffered a 6-game losing streak after the start of the season and currently have a record of 0 wins and 6 losses.

In this game, although the Santa Cruz Warriors suffered another disastrous defeat, the performance of the team's starting point guard LJ Cryer was relatively stable. Claire played 29 minutes and 46 seconds, shooting 5 of 12, 3 of 8 from beyond the three-point line, and 2 of 3 free throws. He scored 16 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, and 2 steals, including 3 offensive rebounds, and 3 turnovers, with a plus-minus of -15. Clare also showed comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end and scored some points. His performance in passing and organizing offense was even more impressive, and he sent many wonderful passes to his teammates. Claire's performance on the defensive end was actually quite satisfactory, and there were no major problems. Overall, Claire also had a certain effect on both offense and defense, but the team's overall strength still lags far behind its opponents, and Claire's efforts could not help the team reverse the situation.

Claire was born in October 2001. She has just turned 24 years old. She is 185cm tall and weighs 91kg. She was the undrafted pick in this year's NBA draft. In the NCAA last season, Claire played 40 times on behalf of the University of Houston, averaging 32.6 minutes per game. He averaged 15.7 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.1 blocks per game. He also had 1.1 turnovers and 1.4 fouls. He shot 41.1% from the field, 42.4% from the three-point range, and 89.5% from the free throw line. This summer, Clare signed a training camp contract with the Warriors that included Exhibit 10 clauses. His performance during the previous NBA Summer League and preseason was quite good, showing good scoring and shooting abilities, and he also had stable output on the defensive end. However, due to quota restrictions, Clare was eventually waived by the Warriors before the start of the regular season and joined the Santa Cruz Warriors.

In the NBA Development League this season, Claire has played a total of 4 times so far, averaging 32.8 minutes per game. He averaged 22 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 0.8 steals per game. He also had 3.3 turnovers and 2.8 fouls. He shot 45.2% from the field, 39.1% from the three-point range, and 80% from the free throw line. Claire's overall performance in these games is still good. His offensive efficiency is stable, his three-point shooting rate is also maintained at a high level, and he has always been able to achieve good results in passing and organization. Although the Santa Cruz Warriors have a poor record, Claire's role on the court is also quite prominent. Judging from the current situation, the Warriors actually lack qualified substitutes at the first position. Players like Cam Spencer can even enter the rotation regularly. In comparison, Claire is obviously a player worth developing?
