LOGO & UNIFORMS 2017-18 SCW MEDIA GUIDE

THE LOGO

The Santa Cruz Warriors trident logo is instantly recognizable around town as the signature image of
the home team. It is the brainchild of Santa Cruz Warriors General Manager Kirk Lacob, who wanted a
visual depiction that evoked the strong connection Santa Cruz residents feel with the water and the
environment. The trident is an ode to Poseidon, the god of the sea in Greek mythology, and it is a sym-
bol of power – a proper representation for warriors who take to the basketball court steps away from
the Monterey Bay. In Warriors Royal Blue and California Golden Yellow, the trident serves as a visual
link to the G League affiliate’s NBA parent team, the Golden State Warriors, both in color scheme and
its “W” shape.
Below are three additional Santa Cruz Warriors trademark emblems – the trio of secondary logos:

HISTORY 2017-18 SCW MEDIA GUIDE

SANTA CRUZ WARRIORS HISTORY

On December 23, 2012, the Warriors tipped off the first professional basketball game in Santa
Cruz history with a 93-88 victory against the Bakersfi¬eld Jam in front of a sellout crowd at Kaiser
Permanente Arena. The game was a culmination of months of hard work and collaboration with
the City of Santa Cruz, a partnership that began with the team’s move from Bismarck, North
Dakota at the end of the 2011-12 season. With one NBA G League Championship in 2014-15,
three Finals appearances and the most passionate fans in the league, the Warriors enter their
sixth season proud to represent the Santa Cruz community on and off the court.
On June 27, 2011, new Golden State Warriors owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber acquired the
Dakota Wizards, with the intention of moving the team from Bismarck to Santa Cruz, California.
Rebranding to the Santa Cruz Warriors, The purpose of the acquisition was to turn the team into
a full-service minor league system for the franchise, a move that Lacob described as, “a critical
step and another plus for our organization.” Operating only 80 miles south of the Golden State
headquarters, the Santa Cruz Warriors provide its parent club with opportunities to develop on-
and off-court talent while also celebrating its own unique identity and local community.
A vibrant and diverse community with a passionate basketball culture, the Warriors are fortunate
to call Santa Cruz their home. Through the team’s community outreach initiatives, the Warriors
are able to partner with local schools and nonprofits, connecting with the community and
creating fans for life. The team’s 2,500 seat Kaiser Permanente Arena in downtown Santa Cruz is
the arena the team calls home.

COMMUNITY

GET FIT

nutrition education to build a healthier community. The Warriors will host several events at Central Coast schools,
community gathering places, and at Kaiser Permanente Arena during the second year of the team’s Get Fit

during the year, hosting events in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties. Warriors players, along with members of the
Warriors coaching staff, will join members of the team’s front office, partners and media personalities to participate
in events.
READ TO ACHIEVE
For the sixth consecutive season, the Santa Cruz Warriors are partnering with the Santa Cruz City School District to
help develop a life-long love of reading and literacy in every elementary and middle school child in the district. In
partnership with Kaiser Permanente, the nine-week Read to Achieve program encourages local school children to
read nearly a billion words as a district.
Read to Achieve is the most extensive educational outreach initiative in the history of professional sports. By
providing resources, the NBA continues to aid schools, libraries and community-based organizations so that children
have the necessary tools to succeed in life.
COMMUNITY JERSEYS
The Santa Cruz Warriors highlight select nonprofits by literally weaving them into the fabric of the game though the
“community jersey” initiative. For a select home game, the Santa Cruz Warriors jersey features the logo of a nonprofit
and a corporate partner, amplifying awareness in front of 2,500 passionate basketball fans. By auctioning off the
game-worn jerseys at the end of the night, the Warriors helped raise funds for Second Harvest Food Bank, Cal Giant
Berry Foundation, Hospice of Santa Cruz, Homeless Garden Project and Ride A Wave during the 2016-17 season.

APTOS HIGH SCHOOL WARRIORS NORCAL INVITATIONAL

school teams – Aptos, Gilroy, Gunn, Milpitas, Palma, Soquel, St. Mary’s (Stockton) and Watsonville, with St. Mary’s
capturing the inaugural championship trophy.
A three-day event, the tournament is the signature piece of the team’s attempt to bring local schools and
communities together during the holiday break to enjoy the game of basketball on Warriors Ground.
NBA G LEAGUE GREEN WEEK
The Santa Cruz Warriors are committed to practices that protect the environment and preserve the Monterey Bay’s
natural resources. Last season, the Warriors players, coaches, front office staff and season ticket holders teamed up

San Lorenzo River. In 2015-16, the Warriors joined environmental nonpro¬fit Save Our Shores to host a public
cleanup event where, together with 250 fans, the volunteer group cleaned 135 pounds of trash from Seabright
Beach. During the 2014-15 season, the NBA G League and its teams hosted events and activities to generate
awareness and raise funds to help support environmental protection.

G LEAGUE INFORMATION 2017-18 SCW MEDIA GUIDE

G League FAQ’s

What is the NBA G League?
The NBA G League, formerly the NBA Development League or NBA D-League, is the NBA’s official minor
league, preparing players, coaches, officials, trainers and front office staff for the NBA while acting as the
league’s research and development laboratory.
When was the NBA G League established?
The league began play as the NBA Development League beginning with the 2001-02 season. It enters its
17th season in 2017-18 after being renamed the NBA G League.
How many teams are in the NBA G League?
There are 26 NBA G League teams for the 2017-18 season, each singly affiliated with an NBA team.
They included: Agua Caliente Clippers (L.A. Clippers), Austin Spurs (San Antonio Spurs), Canton Charge
(Cleveland Cavaliers), Delaware 87ers (Philadelphia 76ers), Erie BayHawks (Atlanta Hawks), Fort Wayne
Mad Ants (Indiana Pacers), Grand Rapids Drive (Detroit Pistons), Greensboro Swarm (Charlotte Hornets),
Iowa Wolves (Minnesota Timberwolves), Lakeland Magic (Orlando Magic), Long Island Nets (Brooklyn
Nets), Maine Red Claws (Boston Celtics), Memphis Hustle(Memphis Grizzlies), Northern Arizona Suns
(Phoenix Suns), Oklahoma City Blue (Oklahoma City Thunder), Raptors 905 (Toronto Raptors), Reno
Bighorns (Sacramento Kings), Rio Grande Valley Vipers (Houston Rockets), Salt Lake City Stars (Utah Jazz),
Santa Cruz Warriors (Golden State Warriors), Sioux Falls Skyforce (Miami Heat), South Bay Lakers (Los
Angeles Lakers), Texas Legends (Dallas Mavericks), Westchester Knicks (New York Knicks), Windy City Bulls
(Chicago Bulls) and Wisconsin Herd (Milwaukee Bucks).
How do NBA G League contracts work?
NBA G-League players sign standard contracts with the league, not individual teams. The standard
contract is one year in duration, but players are relieved of their contract obligations if they sign a
contract with an NBA team at any point during the season. Beginning in the 2017 offseason, NBA rosters
expanded from 15 to 17 players with the addition of two spots for players under “Two-Way Contracts”.
NBA teams many have up to two players under NBA Two-Way Contracts who will spend the bulk of the
season in the NBA G League and not more than 45 days with their NBA team. Two-Way players are paid
a corresponding daily amount based on the number of days they play in each league. Only players with
four or fewer years of NBA service are able to sign Two-Way Contracts, which can be for either one or two
seasons.
How do the Golden State Warriors assign players to the NBA G League?
NBA teams can assign players within their fi¬rst three years of service to their G League affiliate. In
addition, players who have more experience in the NBA can be assigned to the NBA G League with
their consent. Players can stay with the NBA G League team for as long as the NBA team wishes, and be
recalled back to the NBA at any time. There is no cap on how many times a player can be assigned to their
NBA G League affiliate.
Who can call up a Santa Cruz Warrior to the NBA?
Since players sign a contract with the league, any NBA team can call up any NBA G League player. For
example, in the 205-16 season the Cleveland Cavaliers and Memphis Grizzlies called up Seth Curry, a
guard for the Santa Cruz Warriors.

2017-18 SCW MEDIA GUIDE

Cont. G League FAQ’s

What happens once a player gets called up?
An NBA team will sign a player to a contract depending on his years of service in the NBA. Typically, NBA teams
will sign an NBA G League player to a 10-day contract and assess their contribution to the team during that time.
A player can be signed to two 10-day contracts with an individual NBA team before that team must either sign
him for the rest of the season or release him.

With call-ups and assignment players, how does a team set its roster? FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
An NBA G League team’s roster can be fluid. There are many ways a team can acquire players: returning players,
the affiliate rule, the NBA G League Draft, assignments, trades and the available player pool.
An NBA G League team’s roster must be 10 players, with up to 2 additional spots for players placed on the
inactive/ injury list. If its NBA parent assigns players, the team’s active roster may be expanded to 13.
Once the season starts, teams are limited to 14 roster moves each year. There are exemptions to that limit if a
team loses a player to a buyout, call-up, or season-ending injury.

How does a player return to the NBA D-League?
An NBA D-League team has returning player rights on any players on its roster for two consecutive seasons.

What is the affiliate rule?
An “affiliate player” is claimed by an NBA G League team via the affiliate rule. When a player goes to NBA training
camp and is waived, the NBA team’s G League affiliate can select up to three players whose rights are not owned
by another NBA G League team.

What does it mean when a player is “waived”?
When a player is waived in the NBA G League, the team has given up their rights to him. After 48 hours, he clears
waivers and any team can claim him from the available player pool.

What is the NBA D-League Showcase?
The NBA G League Showcase is the NBA G League’s annual in-season scouting event, when all of its teams
converge in one city to play in front of NBA general managers and player personnel executives from all 30 NBA
teams. The 2017 event – January 18-22 in Mississauga, Ontario – marked the 13th Showcase.
Showcase traditionally coincides with the time when the NBA teams can begin signing players to 10-day
contracts, since the majority of the players signed to 10-day contracts are GATORADE Call-Ups from the NBA G
League.

How do 10-day contracts work?
Each season, from early January to early April, NBA teams can sign free agents to 10-day contracts. A player
can be signed to a maximum of two consecutive 10-day contracts before a team must either sign him for the
remainder of the season or release him.

Is there an NBA G League All-Star Game?
Yes. The NBA G League All-Star Game is scheduled for February 16-17 in Los Angeles, CA in conjunction with NBA
All-Star activities.

How do playoffs in the NBA G League work? 67
The top eight teams in the NBA G League qualify for the playoffs. Seeding is based on record. However, the three
division winners select their opponent, with the team with the best record picking first from the pool of seeds
five through eight.
The playoffs are made up of three best-of-three series. The top seed plays away for the first game, and the
remaining two games (if needed) are played at home. There is no re-seeding in the NBA G League.
