Enter Charles Bassey. His pedigree, profile and history don’t compare to Horford or Porziņģis. His three days with the Warriors don’t compare to Post’s two seasons. Bassey signed with Golden State on Sunday morning, and played 10 minutes that night. Bassey played 27 minutes Tuesday night. Not only played, but filled a crucial role in Golden State’s 110-105 win over the Sacramento Kings. “He’s a really impressive player,” coach Steve Kerr said after Bassey gave the Warriors 14 points and a game-high 12 rebounds, two blocks and two steals, posting plus-9 on those 27 minutes.
Bassey is an exception. He acts as if he belongs. In his first two games with the Warriors, everything the 6-foot-10, 230-pound center/forward does on the court exudes a determination to be seen and appreciated. “It means a lot, man, to have this opportunity,” Bassey told NBC Sports Bay Area. “I'm just trying to use this because, you never know when your chance will come. It means a lot just being here. They gave me this opportunity, and it means a lot to me, my family and the team.”
Michael Scotto: The Golden State Warriors plan to sign Charles Bassey to a deal, league sources told @hoopshype. Bassey has averaged 4.2 points on 63% shooting from the field and 4.2 rebounds in 10.8 minutes during five NBA seasons combined with the 76ers, Spurs, Grizzlies, and Celtics.
Keith Smith: Charles Bassey's second 10 Day contract with the Boston Celtics has expired. Boston would have to sign Bassey for the remainder of the season to keep him on the roster. The Celtics will have to sign a player today for the remainder of the season to be at 14 players on standard contracts.
Charles Bassey is now on his second Ten-Day contract with the Celtics — that contract expires on April 3rd, and his future in Boston is uncertain. The Celtics are required to have 14 players on their roster, so they’ll have to sign someone once Bassey’s contract expires. Bassey is an option, or the team could go with someone else, such as a former Ten-Day player like Dalano Banton. For now, he’s working hard to stay ready in case an opportunity emerges. “You just gotta come ready to walk, man,” Bassey said. “You never know — there might be opportunities. So you just gotta come ready to just work, show the coaches and the guys you’re ready to work and help the team any way you can.”
