According to the NBA's transaction log, Scott has now been waived by the Warriors.

Based on his contract being an Exhibit 10, Scott will likely go to the Santa Cruz Warriors (G League) to begin his rookie season.

If he is able to play well, the Warriors could end up giving him a two-way (or 10-day) contract during the year.
