The Golden State Warriors have successfully acquired Alex Toohey, an Australian forward initially drafted by the Phoenix Suns in the 2025 NBA Draft. At 6 feet 8 and 223 pounds, Toohey brings additional length and depth to the Warriors. After three seasons with the Sydney Kings in the NBL, he averaged 10.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game, showcasing his potential as a solid contributor. His pre-draft performance raised concerns, but he has expressed gratitude for the Warriors' scouting efforts.

With strong shooting splits of 45/31/73, Toohey has potential to develop his three-point shooting and playmaking abilities akin to international talents like Josh Giddey and Franz Wagner. Comparisons to established role players such as Doug McDermott and Max Strus suggest the Warriors see Toohey as a fitting addition to their roster. This trade, which involved the 41st overall pick, reflects the Warriors' commitment to building a diverse and competitive team.
