SAN FRANCISCO – Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy never saw Alex Toohey play in person for the Sydney Kings in Australia’s National Basketball League.

But that did not stop the team from going international with their first of two second-round picks in the 2025 NBA draft, choosing the Australian forward with the No. 52 overall selection.

Though he intrigued many during the pre-draft process as a well-rounded 6-foot-8 forward who could do a little bit of everything on offense, it was his potential on the other end of the floor that piqued Dunleavy’s interest.

“With our system and the way we play, he has the versatility to play multiple positions,” Dunleavy told media on Thursday. “He’s super versatile and creates a lot of plays, which is important for us defensively with Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler and Brandin Podziemski, we have guys who can disrupt, and this guy fits that mold.”

Toohey joined fellow countrymen Rocco Zikarsky, Tyrese Proctor and Lachlan Olbrich as 2025 draft picks. He is now added to a forward rotation that also includes Moses Moody, Gui Santos and possibly Jonathan Kuminga.
