Warriors agree to new multi-year deal with reigning NCAA champ image

The Golden State Warriors have signed a reigning NCAA champion to a fresh long-term agreement.

Per ESPN's Shams Charania, the Warriors have finally inked a deal with one of their two rookie second-round draft picks, former Florida shooting guard Will Richard. The 6-foot-4 swingman was selected with the No. 56 pick in June's 2025 NBA Draft.

Richard's agents at Excel Sports Management, Jared Mucha and Marcus Monk, have informed Charania that Richard is being brought in via a four-year deal, unusually lengthy for a late second-round pick. The first two seasons of the agreement are fully guaranteed, as the Warriors look to build out cheap roster depth with developmental pieces.
