After landing Patrick Baldwin Jr. with their first-round selection in June, the Golden State Warriors weren’t done in the 2022 NBA Draft. In the second round, the Warriors acquired the No. 44 overall selection for the No. 51 pick and $2 million.
With the No. 44 pick, Bob Myers and Steve Kerr added Ryan Rollins out of Toledo. On Thursday, the Warriors announced the 20-year-old had signed a three-year deal.

Rollins was unable to participate in the California Classic or the Las Vegas Summer League due to a stress fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot.
In two seasons at Toledo, Rollins averaged 16.4 points on 45.3% shooting from the floor with 5.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 64 total games. In his final season with the Rockets, Rollins tallied 18.9 points on 46.8% shooting from the field and 31.1% shooting from deep with six boards and 3.6 assists in 34 games.
Rollins will provide depth in Golden State’s already loaded backcourt behind Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Jordan Poole, Moses Moody and Donte DiVencenzo.
