Much like Damian Jones, Alfonzo McKinnie is a guy who is experiencing his first taste of NBA success. McKinnie played one very short season for the Toronto Raptors and has bounced around the G-League several times. Now, he is earning a role on the best team in the league.
McKinnie has played in every game for the Golden State Warriors so far. However, he didn’t make an impact until the fourth game of the season, when he scored 10 points and grabbed 7 rebounds in only 17 minutes of playing time.
Since then, McKinnie has averaged 8.3 points and 5.5 rebounds on 14.7 minutes a game. His best performance to date was his game against the Chicago Bulls. In this matchup, McKinnie scored a career-high 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.
