Top Undrafted Free Agents Signed by the Warriors: Who Matters and Who Doesn't

The Golden State Warriors made two picks in the 2026 draft, but that shouldn't stop them from adding a few undrafted free agents to compete for roster spots this summer.

First-round pick Yaxel Lendeborg will get one of the Warriors' 15 standard contract roster spots, but there are still several available.

Last year, No. 56 pick Will Richard earned a standard contract before the regular season started by impressing Warriors decision-makers in summer league.

What's a more likely goal for UDFAs is earning a two-way roster spot. The Warriors currently have one available, as the other two are filled by LJ Cryer and Malevy Leons.

But I'd imagine Leons' spot is on shaky ground, while Cryer could be upgraded to a standard contract if he has another strong summer.

This is all to say the Warriors have roster openings, making them a desirable place for UDFAs to go even if on Exhibit 10 contracts.

I'll update this article as more UDFA signings are reported.

Warriors Sign Reese Dixon-Waters

San Diego State guard Reese Dixon-Waters has signed a summer league contract with the Warriors.

Dixon-Waters played three seasons with USC before transferring to SDSU for his final two. He averaged 13.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists as a fifth-year senior for the Aztecs.

At 6'5" and 210 pounds, he has the size and strength to guard wings in the NBA.

Does he matter? Dixon-Waters is a long shot to get a two-way roster spot

Warriors Sign CJ Gunn

According to The Consensus NBA, DePaul small forward CJ Gunn is signing a contract with the Warriors.

Gunn played sparingly in two seasons with Indiana before trasnferring to DePaul. In his two seasons with the Blue Demons, he averaged 13.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 steals.

He shot just 41.4 percent from the floor and 30.5 percent from three.

Carr has promising length with his 6'7" frame, but so does Warriors second-round pick Lajae Jones.

If it comes down to one two-way roster spot between Jones and Carr, expect Jones to get the nod.

Does he matter? Any wing has a chance to get a two-way spot, but Jones should have the upper hand

Warriors Sign Nick Boyd

According to The Consensus NBA, Wisconsin combo guard Nick Boyd is signing an Exhibit 10 contract with the Warriors.

Boyd, who turned 25 in April, had a breakout season as a 24-year-old for the Badgers. He averaged 20.7 points on 48.0 percent from the floor and 36.5 percent from three as well as 4.3 assists and 3.8 rebounds.

Boyd measured just 6'1" at the combine. If he plays well enough in the summer league, the Warriors could roster him and Cryer in two-way spots, but it seems more likely that they'll only roster one of them.

Does he matter? Boyd should get a two-way roster spot with somebody, but it might not be with the Warriors

Warriors Sign Graham Ike

According to The Consensus NBA, Gonzaga center Graham Ike is joining the Warriors on an Exhibit 10 deal.

Ike was one of the best UDFAs available after averaging 19.9 points and 8.0 rebounds in 2025-26.

The 23-year-old has a traditional big man game, scoring most of his points in the paint. But he did show he can step out to the three-point line, taking 71 threes and making 24 of them (33.8 percent).

Though his size (6'9.75" with a 7'5" wingspan) could make him an imposing interior defender, he'll have major issues defending in space.

The Warriors don't have a true center in their two-way roster ranks. If Ike has a strong summer, I could see Golden State making room for him by releasing Leons.

Does he matter? Yes

Bulls Sign Donovan Atwell After Report Warriors Signed Him

It was initially reported that Texas Tech shooting guard Donovan Atwell signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Warriors.

It's since been reported that Atwell signed a deal with the Chicago Bulls.

Atwell is a true three-point specialist. As a senior, the 6'5" guard took 315 field-goal attempts, and 284 of them were three-point attempts. He made a blistering 45.8 percent of his threes.

He would've been a bit of a long shot to get a two-way spot with the Warriors. We'll see if he makes the Bulls roster.
