In their announcement on the move, Golden State shared the following information on Melton:

Golden State has made some nice moves on the margins this summer, and the Melton signing is one of them. While the Warriors have yet to make the big splash many feel they must make to truly contend in the Western Conference next season, they have a chance to be better than they were a year ago, which is a step in the right direction.
Melton projects to bring the Warriors some solid production off their bench.
