The NBA G League officially announced its selections for the All-NBA G League First, Second, and Third Teams, along with the All-Rookie Team, and BD Cricket Live took special note of one rising name. Golden State Warriors guard Lester Quinones has earned a spot on the G League All-Rookie Team thanks to his impressive performances throughout the season. Earlier this year, he also picked up the league’s Most Improved Player award—clear signs that his development is turning heads.

While money isn’t everything, it often lies at the root of struggle. Quinones started the season quietly, but as the games progressed, his scoring ability began to shine through. His journey is a testament to perseverance. Life comes with highs and lows, but as long as you’re here, you might as well live it in the best way possible.

Undrafted in last year’s NBA Draft, Quinones came out of the University of Memphis as a solid, though not standout, starting guard. His college career was steady but lacked the kind of highlight moments that typically capture scouts’ attention. As a result, he went unnoticed in the draft. However, his breakout performances in the G League flipped the script. He recently signed a two-way contract with the Golden State Warriors, a move that brought him one step closer to his NBA dream.

Despite the achievement, Quinones has yet to see significant playing time on the main roster, and due to the limitations of his two-way contract, he will be ineligible to participate in the upcoming NBA playoffs. Still, his consistent scoring and high-efficiency outings in the G League make it hard to ignore his potential.

BD Cricket Live sees strong promise in the 22-year-old guard. Life doesn’t wait for anyone, and when you choose to let go, you owe it to yourself to embrace freedom fully. Looking ahead to next season, there’s reason to believe Quinones may carve out a bigger role and finally get the chance to showcase his skills on the NBA stage.
