Getty Guard Kalob Ledoux, then of the McNeese State Cowboys, handles the ball during a 2016 bout with the Purdue Boilermakers.
While the Golden State Warriors are on a path that, they hope, ends with the Larry O’Brien Trophy being hoisted, players for the team’s G League affiliate are already looking for their next jobs. That includes guard Kalob Ledoux, who has designs on balling out in the Association next season.
Per BasketballNews.com’s Matt Babcock, Ledoux will be draft-eligible when teams assemble to make their selections on June 23. His report on the 24-year-old’s eligibility was also retweeted by Ledoux’s agent, BJ Bass, which would seem to indicate he’s declaring for the draft itself.
To that end, the former Louisiana Tech sharpshooter is already working to get his name out there.
Ledoux is one of 24 prospects slated to descend upon Florida’s Gulf Coast later this month to participate in the second annual Tampa Bay Pro Combine, as revealed by BasketballNews earlier this week.
Ledoux Had a Standout Campaign with the Sea Dubs
The Warriors’ Santa Cruz-based affiliate had no shortage of players on the NBA radar this season, with two-way players Chris Chiozza and Quinndary Weatherspoon leading the way. However, Ledoux still managed to stand out among the crowd at various junctures.
Over 29 regular-season appearances, including 11 starts, the 6-foot-4 sharpshooter averaged 13.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists per contest. He also knocked down 40% of his triples, which was second only to Warriors lottery pick Moses Moody for the team lead.
Ledoux was a team-best plus-seven on the court during the Sea Dubs’ season-ending playoff loss to the South Bay Lakers on April 5. He logged a 16-6-3 line and knocked down four of his six attempts from deep in the contest.
The Port Barre, Louisiana native was originally selected by the College Park Skyhawks with pick No. 2 of the second round of the 2021 G League Draft. However, the team immediately traded him to Santa Cruz.
Before dipping his toes into the pro player pool, Ledoux played with McNeese State and the aforementioned Bulldogs as a collegiate. During the 2019-20 campaign, he was recognized as the Conference-USA Sixth Man of the Year.
