SAN FRANCISCO – Plenty of familiar names and a pair of recent draft picks headline the Warriors’ 2025 Summer League roster.
Nineteen players populate the list that was released on Sunday night. The team will begin play at the California Classic at Chase Center on July 5. Santa Cruz Warriors coach Lainn Wilson will lead the team.
Golden State’s two 2025 second-round NBA Draft picks – Alex Toohey and Will Richard – are on the roster, as is a pair of end-of-the-bench guys in Taran Armstrong and Jackson Rowe.
Vallejo native Chance McMillan and Sacramento’s Coleman Hawkins are also on the team.
Here is what you need to know about the players who will be representing the Bay Area at Chase and later Las Vegas.
Notable names:
Chance McMillian: Played at St. Patrick-St. Vincent for three years before transferring to nearby Bethel and averaging 28.2 points per game, winning the Tri-County Athletic League Stone Division MVP in each of his final three seasons. Starred at Texas Tech and scored 14 points against the eventual national champions Florida in the Elite Eight at Chase Center.
Will Richard: The No. 56 pick in the 2025 draft helped eliminate McMillian from March Madness, and later scored a team-high 18 points in the National Championship. Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy sees Richard as a guard-wing hybrid who should be able to thrive off-ball.
