The Warriors are bringing another shooter into the mix as they keep sorting through young talent before training camp.
Golden State has agreed to a training camp deal with former Baylor guard Obi Agbim, according to reports. He joins Nick Boyd and Elias Ralph as the Warriors continue to evaluate a wave of younger players ahead of the 2026-27 season.
Agbim’s calling card is clear. The 6-foot-3 guard spent the 2024-25 season at Wyoming and turned into one of the Mountain West’s most dangerous perimeter threats, putting up 17.6 points, 3.4 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.1 steals while knocking down 43.7% of his three-pointers.
The shot profile is what really jumps off the page. Agbim reportedly hit 49% of his catch-and-shoot threes and 35% of his pull-up attempts from deep on more than 80 tries. That kind of balance gives him value whether he’s spotting up or creating a little space for himself.
He then transferred to Baylor for his final college season and appeared in 33 games. With a smaller offensive role, his numbers came down to 10.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. His three-point percentage also dipped to 35.6%, but Baylor still leaned on him from the outside, and he finished on the conference leaderboard in both made and attempted threes, hitting 78 of 219.
Across his Division I career, Agbim has shown he can score and, more importantly for his next stop, he’s done it while staying close to 40% from three overall.
That makes him a logical flyer for a Warriors team that has long benefited from floor-spacers in Steve Kerr’s offense. Agbim now gets a shot to prove his jumper can hold up against NBA competition.
The road to the regular season roster is steep, though. Golden State is already at the 21-player offseason limit before the reported agreement, so another move will be needed before the signing can be completed. The Warriors also have 15 players on fully or partially guaranteed contracts and two players on two-way deals.
Agbim is expected to land on an Exhibit 10 contract. If he is waived and then spends at least 60 days with the Warriors’ G League team, he could earn a bonus of up to $91,000. That type of deal can also be converted into a two-way contract.
Golden State still has one two-way opening, but unsigned second-round pick Lajae Jones remains unsigned, and the team has also shown interest in Summer League standout Graham Ike.
For Agbim, this is a chance, not a promise. But for a guard whose best asset is the kind of shooting teams are always hunting, training camp gives him a real opportunity to make some noise. If he can bring the same 43.7% three-point touch he showed at Wyoming, the Warriors will have a tough call to make before opening night.

Ben Simmons Passed On A Warriors Chance That Could Follow Him
Ben Simmons is heading to Sacramento after passing on chances with both the Warriors and Knicks, a choice that says plenty about the stage he wants next. The Kings can offer a quieter setting and a little more contract security, which makes sense for a player trying to steady his career and put the focus back on production rather than the noise that has followed him.
Golden State, though, would have been a very different kind of landing spot. The Warriors carry the national attention that can help a player rebuild his value, but they also bring tougher competition and a sharper spotlight, which only adds to the risk for someone at this point in his career. For Simmons, the decision leaves one of the more intriguing alternate paths on the table, and it is the kind of move that will be revisited if he is trying to change the way the league views him.

Klay Thompson May Be Stuck In A Familiar Fight Again
Pelle Larssons new four-year, $60 million extension with Miami does more than lock in another rotation piece for the Heat. It also sharpens the conversation around how much the team is willing to lean on its younger wing options, with Klay Thompson and Tim Hardaway Jr. in the mix for minutes as the season approaches. For Thompson, it is the kind of roster dynamic that can quickly turn into a familiar test of standing, fit and late-game trust.
The broader issue is the one that followed Thompson before: a veteran scorer trying to find his place while a younger players role grows around him. Miami now has a clearer long-term commitment on Larsson, and the way the Heat sort out the wing rotation could leave Thompson fighting for the kind of opportunities he is used to getting. For Warriors fans, it is another reminder of how often Thompsons career has been defined not just by his shot, but by the pecking order around him. [Read more 🡒]
Draymond Green Just Made This Warriors Role Change More Complicated
Draymond Greens place in the Warriors attack has always been about more than scoring, but this season the conversation has shifted toward whether he can stretch the floor enough to keep that role intact. Steve Kerr has made increasing Greens three-point shooting part of the discussion, and Greens response has been measured, the kind of cautious optimism that fits a veteran who knows exactly how much his game has already changed over the years.
The pressure point is obvious: Greens long-range efficiency has trended down over the past decade, and Golden State needs to know whether more volume can come with better accuracy. If it does, the fit stays cleaner. If it does not, the Warriors may have to start making harder decisions about how they want the frontcourt rotation to look, especially with younger options waiting in the wings. [Read more 🡒]
