What happened: The Golden State Warriors resurfaced a #DubsDraft note highlighting their No. 55 selection in the 2022 NBA Draft, who wears No. 15. The post marks him as the first Golden State Warrior ever drafted directly from Brazil's Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB).
Why it matters: The throwback underscores Golden State's willingness to scout late-second-round value in international leagues rather than purely the college ranks. Drafting straight out of Brazil's NBB signaled a development bet on a pipeline the franchise had not tapped at the draft before.
What to watch: Watch how the Warriors continue leaning on international and second-round scouting as they shape their roster around the 2025-26 picture.
