Warriors, Dunleavy Sign Deal

Mike Dunleavy, the third overall pick in the NBA draft, signed with the Golden State Warriors on Monday.

Dunleavy, a 6-foot-9 forward, was a member of Duke’s 2001 national championship team. He averaged 17.3 points for the Blue Devils last season as a junior. He then made himself eligible for the draft.

The Warriors wouldn’t discuss the terms of Dunleavy’s three-year contract, but the deal is in line with the rookie pay scale determined by the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement.

Last year’s No. 3 overall pick, Memphis forward Pau Gasol, signed a three-year deal worth $9.6 million.

Dunleavy is working out with the Warriors’ summer league team, which begins play Wednesday in Long Beach.

Golden State still hasn’t hired a coach for next season, though Dunleavy’s father, Mike, is one of the top candidates for the post currently held by interim coach Brian Winters.
