The Golden State Warriors continue to fill out their roster ahead of training camp, as they’ve added another young player with a very important skill set.
According to reports, the Warriors have agreed to a training camp deal with former Baylor guard Obi Agbim. The move comes shortly after the Warriors added Nick Boyd and Elias Ralph, as the organization continues to look at several young players before the start of the 2026-27 season.
Agbim, a six-foot-three guard, brings one very obvious strength to the Warriors: shooting.
He spent the 2024-25 season at Wyoming and emerged as one of the Mountain West’s most dangerous perimeter threats. Agbim averaged 17.6 points, 3.4 assists, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.1 steals while shooting 43.7% from three-point range.
His shooting numbers were even more impressive when broken down by shot type. Agbim reportedly converted 49% of his catch-and-shoot attempts from beyond the arc while making 35% of his pull-up threes on more than 80 attempts. That combination makes him very dangerous both on and off the ball.
Agbim transferred to Baylor for his final college season and played 33 games for the Bears. His production dropped in a smaller offensive role, as he averaged 10.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.1 assists.
His three-point percentage also dropped to 35.6%, but Baylor continued to trust his shooting. Agbim made the conference team in both three-pointers made and attempted, connecting on 78 of his 219 shots from beyond the arc.
Overall, he’s established himself as a solid scoring threat during his college career, making nearly 40% of his threes across his Division I seasons.
For the Warriors, taking a look at another shooter makes a lot of sense. Steve Kerr’s offense has historically benefited from players capable of stretching defenses, and Agbim now gets a chance to show whether his shooting can translate against NBA competition.
His path to making the regular season roster won’t be easy, but the Warriors are already at the 21-player offseason roster limit before the reported agreement, meaning another transaction will be required for Agbim’s signing to be finalized.
The Warriors also have 15 players on fully or partially guaranteed contracts and two players occupying two-way spots.
Agbim is now expected to get an Exhibit 10 contract. If he’s eventually waived and spends at least 60 days with the Warriors’ G League team, he could earn a bonus of up to $91,000. An Exhibit 10 contract can also be converted to a two-way deal.
The Warriors still have one two-way opening, but unsigned second-round pick Lajae Jones remains unsigned, and the Warriors have shown interest in Summer League standout Graham Ike.
The training camp therefore represents a great chance for Agbim rather than a guaranteed NBA opportunity.
Still, shooting is one of the easiest ways for overlooked guards to attract attention. If Agbim can reproduce the shooting that made him a 43.7% three-point marksman at Wyoming, he’ll give Kerr and the Warriors a very important decision to make before opening night.
