The Warriors are signing rookie Alex Toohey to a two-way contract, reports Shams Charania for ESPN (Twitter link).
Toohey, a 6’7″ forward out of Australia, played two years with the Sydney Kings prior to coming over to the NBA. Last season, he averaged 10.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.4 steals in 23.0 minutes per game. In six Summer League games for the Warriors, he averaged 6.8 PPG and 3.8 RPG.
Toohey, the No. 52 pick this summer, was the last player from the 2025 draft class whose plans for the 2025/26 season have been confirmed, after new teammate Will Richard agreed to a four-year contract with the Warriors earlier today.
Golden State previously signed Jackson Rowe on a two-way deal, and they have extended a qualifying offer for Taran Armstrong as they look to finalize their roster outside of the ongoing stalemate with restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga.
Another reason they could be announcing these signings before the actual signatures are for media day.
Pictures, team group shots, etc. The players will not be able to practice with the team, but the photo ops will be there.
You’re on a roll.
This smart and good looking too? Where does it end?
Toohey has work to be done in learning in a faster game in the NBA. Good spot for him to work on his game. He doesn’t look ready and gives him a year in teh G league to be ready in 2027
