Former Illinois and Kansas State forward Coleman Hawkins is expected to attend training camp with the Warriors, a source tells Jeff Goodman of Field of 68 (Twitter link). He’ll also play for the Warriors’ Summer League team, tweets Bryan Kalbrosky of USA Today.
While Goodman doesn’t provide any specifics on Hawkins’ potential contract with Golden State, a training camp invitee would typically receive an Exhibit 10 deal, which is a one-year, non-guaranteed minimum contract that doesn’t count toward the cap unless the player makes the regular season roster.
After spending four years with the Fighting Illini, Hawkins transferred to Kansas State in 2024 ahead of his final college season. He filled up the stat sheet as a full-time starter for the Wildcats, averaging 10.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.3 blocks per game, though he did struggle to score efficiently, shooting 40.1% from the field (30.3% on three-pointers) and 57.7% from the free throw line.
Hawkins, who wasn’t ranked among this year’s top 100 draft-eligible prospects by ESPN or The Athletic, is the third undrafted rookie reported to have a potential camp deal in place with Golden State, joining LJ Cryer and Chance McMillian.
San Francisco really scooped the post draft market. I loathed the guy at Illinois because he was a tenatious player and I think he will be in the league for at least a few years.
Huh? They only signed 3 players.
Unforgivable negligence on the part of Adam Silver not forcing the Jazz to draft this guy.
I think you mean Horace Silver.
Hawkins might also go to Atlanta. But not play day games since he is the Night Hawk.
Guy can’t hit a free throw, but he must have some great vision and passing skills because he handles the ball quite a bit.
What happens in a Warrior training camp ??
train to go to another team ….. learn not to play …
Warriors passed on this 😳😳😳😳
“He was selected with the 42nd overall pick. During his senior year at Stanford, Raynaud averaged 20.2 points and 10.6 rebounds per game. He also earned first-team all-ACC honors. ”
Maxime Raynaud ——— He was conoa lottery lick by some scouts. Has big upside. Started playing ball late in life. Smart big who could have given mins right away. Is better than Kornet right now. ….
Like I said before. The Warriors saw a lot of Maxime. He looks lost on defense.
Hawkins grew up in Sac. Went to school in Napa. Kind of a progression.
