The Golden State Warriors have begun their preparations for the 2025 NBA Draft, holding workouts for various prospects, including notable players from top college programs. Recently, they evaluated Sion James, Ryan Nembhard, CJ Huntley, Kobe Johnson, RJ Luis, and Tamar Bates, who are all potential fits for the team's 41st pick. Newest additions to their workout slate include Missouri's Caleb Grill, Kentucky's Amari Williams, and Nebraska's Brice Williams. Interestingly, this trio is not recognized for their shooting abilities, which raises questions about their suitability for the Warriors' system under head coach Steve Kerr, known for prioritizing shooting.

The Warriors aim to replicate the success of their 2023 second-round pick Trayce Jackson-Davis and are focusing on adding a 'high-floor, low-ceiling' talent who can contribute immediately off the bench. As they look to contend for a championship in the 2025-26 season, their draft strategy will be pivotal. The draft is scheduled for June 26 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.

Jonathan Kuminga's future with the Golden State Warriors is clouded with uncertainty as he enters restricted free agency this offseason. Owner Joe Lacob expressed strong support for Kuminga, noting his defensive performance against Anthony Edwards, highlighting him as a valuable asset. Conversely, GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. acknowledged the need for dialogue regarding Kuminga's desire for a larger role on the team. Head Coach Steve Kerr sees him fitting a role similar to Shawn Marion but is cautious about overextending him with star players like Steph Curry and Draymond Green on the roster. The upcoming free agency will be pivotal for Kuminga's career and the Warriors' roster strategy.
