Warriors trade with Hawks for No. 44 pick, select Toledo’s Ryan Rollins.
SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors entered Thursday’s draft with three picks to work with, but swung a trade to move up the board in the second round.
Golden State is in the market for playmaking depth, and Rollins is a 6-foot-4 guard with an astounding 6-foot-10 wingspan. He shot 45% from the field and 32% from 3 in two years with the Rockets. Rollins is the first player drafted out of Toledo since 1998, when the Philadelphia 76ers took Casey Shaw with the 37th overall pick.
