Golden State traded its No. 41 overall pick to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for the No. 52 and No. 59 selections.
Toohey is a 6-foot-8 forward who averaged 10.5 points and 3.9 rebounds for the Sydney Kings in the National Basketball League. He is 21 years old.
Following a second NBL season with Sydney, Toohey was excited to take his talents to the NBA, and he was among the 75 prospects invited to the 2025 NBA Draft Combine.
Multiple NBA teams travelled to Australia over the course of the NBL season to lay eyes on Toohey, per ESPN.
'Pretty much every area a basketball player can show, I feel like I'm gonna surprise some people over there,' Toohey told ESPN last month.
Now he gets a chance to showcase his talents with the Warriors.
