Golden State Warriors Host Pre-Draft Workouts for Multiple Prospects

The Golden State Warriors are actively preparing for the 2025 NBA Draft by hosting workouts for multiple prospects, including Duke's defensive standout guard Sion James, Gonzaga's Ryan Nembhard, and Appalachian State's CJ Huntley. With only the 41st overall pick in the draft, the Warriors are focusing on adding young, cost-effective talent to complement their veteran core of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler, whose combined salaries approach $140 million. Former Indiana guard Trey Galloway is also participating in a pre-draft workout with the Warriors, although he is not currently projected to be drafted. The team has shown interest in bringing in versatile players, with discussions around potentially signing free agent Ben Simmons to add size, rebounding, and playmaking to their roster. The Warriors' strategy includes leveraging their second-round pick to find impactful role players, considering recent successful picks selected at a similar stage. Additionally, the Warriors recently lost their first-round pick to the Miami Heat in a trade but remain focused on building for the future through these workouts and potential free-agent signings.
