Another trio of prospects undergo pre-draft workout with Warriors
Chase Center has been busy as a flurry of different draft prospects have made their way through San Francisco for pre-draft workouts with the Golden State Warriors. Before Mike Dunleavy Jr. and Steve Kerr are on the clock with the No. 41 selection in the 2025 edition of the draft, the Warriors have been doing their homework on different prospects with pre-draft workouts.
The latest group of prospects to travel to Chase Center was headlined by 2025 NCAA scoring lead, Eric Dixon. The Villanova big man was joined by Georgetown's Micah Peavy, Kentucky's Jaxson Robinson and Temple's Steve Settle III, according to Sam Gordon the San Francisco Chronicle.
Dixon, the 6-foot-8 forward, led the nation in scoring with 23.3 points on 45.1% shooting from the field and 40.7% shooting from deep to go along with 5.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists. Dixon tallied 30 or more points in five different games for the Wildcats last season, including a 38-point explosion against Maryland. Dixon was named to the All-Big East team in three straight seasons, including 2025, where he was also voted a third-team AP All-American.
Peavy, a 6-foot-7 guard, played five seasons of college basketball with stops at Texas Tech, TCU and Georgetown. Peavy earned All-Big East honors with Georgetown, averaging 17.2 points on 48.1% shooting from the field and 40% shooting from deep to go along with 5.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.3 steals per game.
Robinson played at Texas A&M, Arkansas, BYU and Kentucky in his college career. Robinson's final season in Lexington was cut short due to a wrist injury. Prior to his injury, Robinson averaged 13 points on 43.2% shooting from the fieldand 37.6% from deep to go along with 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.
After three seasons at Howard, Settle played the final two seasons of his career at Temple. The 6-foot-10 forward averaging 12.6 points and 6.2 boards in his final season for the Owls.
The NBA draft is set to begin on June 25 in Brooklyn. The Warriors are slated to hit the clock in the second round on June 26.

Kentucky's Jasper Johnson has made the second Team USA U19 cut
The Kentucky Wildcats didn't land a top five recruit like they have done in previous years, but they ended up with a talented class nonetheless. One of those recruits is guard Jasper Johnson, a top 25 player in this year's class. Both Johnson and Malachi Moreno attended the Team USA U19 training camp, competing for a spot on the team that will compete at the FIBA U19 Men's World Cup in late June and early July. When the team was cut down to 18, Moreno was eliminated with a minor injury, but Johnson moved on. Now, the team has been cut to 15 players, and Johnson, once again, has made it through. Other players to make the cut include former Kentucky targets Chris Cenac Jr., Mikel Brown Jr., and Koa Peat. Current Kentucky target Tyran Stokes is also on the list. The final cut will bring the roster down to the final 12 players who will make up the official team. The World Cup will begin June 28th, and Kentucky fans will hopefully get to root for Johnson there.

Golden State Warriors jersey history - No. 15 - Phil Chenier (1981)
The Golden State Warriors have had over 600 players don the more than 60 jersey numbers used by their players over the more than 75 years of existence the team has enjoyed in its rich and storied history. Founded in 1946 during the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- a precursor league of the NBA) era, the team has called home the cities of Philadelphia, San Francisco, Oakland, and even San Diego. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Warriors Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. For this article, we begin with the 15th of 27 players who wore the No. 15 jersey for the Warriors. That player would be Golden State guard alum Phil Chenier. After ending his college career at Cal, Chenier was picked up with the fourth overall selection of 1971 Supplemental Hardship draft by the (then) Baltimore Bullets (now, Washington Wizards). The Berkeley, California native would play the first nine seasons of his pro career with the Bullets, and also played for Indiana Pacers before signing with the Golden State Warriors for the last stop of his NBA career in 1981, just nine games. During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Chenier wore only jersey No. 15 and put up 3.2 points per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

Will the Warriors keep Jonathan Kuminga? Key dates during the NBA offseason
The 2024-25 NBA season concludes Sunday night, when the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers play Game 7 of the NBA Finals. What's next on the NBA calendar? The better question might be, what isn't? The crowning of a new NBA champion Sunday night spells a significant swing in the offseason transaction cycle, beginning on Wednesday with the NBA draft in which the Golden State Warriors pick 41st. Then it's on into free agency, summer league and preparations for the 2025-26 season. Here are key dates this offseason and how they affect Golden State: Monday: Teams can begin negotiating with their own free agents. Big man Kevon Looney and guard Gary Payton II, are Warriors bound for unrestricted free agency, as well as wing Kevin Knox and forward Braxton Key. Jonathan Kuminga and Pat Spencer are restricted free agents. Looney (4.5 points, 6.1 rebounds in 76 games in 2024-25) and Payton (6.5 points, 3 rebounds over 62 games) were both key contributors to the Warriors' last title run in 2022-23. They're clubhouse culture stalwarts and rotation regulars. Both said during their respective end-of-year news conferences that they hope to stay with Golden State. Knox and Key played reserve roles as midseason callups from G League Santa Cruz, while Kuminga and Spencer could theoretically re-sign without testing restricted free agency. Wednesday: First round of the NBA draft. The annual NBA draft begins with its first round from Barclays Center in New York. The Warriors traded their first-round pick to the Miami Heat as part of their package to acquire star wing Jimmy Butler. Thursday: Second round of the NBA draft. The draft continues with the second round, in which Golden State picks 41st overall. To prepare for their pick, the Warriors have been hosting workouts at Chase Center with mostly experienced college prospects. Golden State acquired important contributors in the second rounds of both the 2023 and 2024 drafts, taking senior big men Trayce Jackson-Davis and Quinten Post, respectively. June 29: Last day for teams to tender qualifying offers to restricted free agents. For the Warriors, that's Kuminga and Spencer, to whom they can tender one-year qualifying offers to officially initiate unrestricted free agency. Then the two players can field offer sheets from other teams, which the Warriors are entitled to match with the right of first refusal. Kuminga, 22, is bouncy, explosive and a bludgeoner of the basket as a combo forward. Last season, he averaged 15.3 points (45.4% shooting, 30.5% 3-point shooting), 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists. Initially out of the rotation in the playoffs, he nevertheless averaged 15.3 points (on 48.4% shooting and 40% 3-point shooting) in postseason play — including a 30-point, six-rebound effort in Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The No. 7 overall pick in the 2021 draft, he's Golden State's most dynamic athlete, a player with two-way upside on the wing. Spencer, a 28-year-old sturdy, springy reserve point guard, averaged 6.4 minutes in 39 games. The lacrosse legend had an 11-minute burst in the playoffs (with four points, two rebounds, two steals) against the Timberwolves in Game 1, Golden State's lone victory in the series. Undrafted after playing one season of college basketball at Northwestern, Spencer worked his way to Golden State through Santa Cruz. Absent a tendered qualifying offer, restricted free agents become unrestricted free agents. June 30: NBA's league year officially ends and free agency begins. The end of the 2024-25 league year (operationally) coincides with the start of free agency at 3 p.m., when teams can officially begin negotiating with free agents from other teams. The Warriors have nine players under standard contracts for 2025-26. As a result, their active payroll sits at $170.5 million against a luxury tax line of $187.8 million and restrictive (for roster building) aprons of $195.9 million and $207.8 million. Their needs include adding size, athleticism and shooting. July 1: NBA's new league year begins. The transaction moratorium halts official transactions through July 6 save for the signing of rookie deals, two-way contracts and offer sheets for restricted free agents. July 5: Seventh annual California Classic begins at Chase Center. Participants this year in the four-team, three-day summer showcase include the Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat. The Warriors play the Lakers on July 5, the Spurs on July 6 and the Heat on July 8. July 6: Free agents can officially sign contracts; trades can be made official. The NBA's transaction moratorium ends at 9 a.m., allowing for the completion of trades, contract extensions and for free agents to consummate contracts with their new clubs. Teams also have 24 hours to match offer sheets for restricted free agents beginning at 9 a.m. July 10: NBA summer league begins in Las Vegas. The NBA's annual summer league begins on UNLV's campus, concluding July 20 with the championship game at Thomas & Mack Center.
