Golden State Warriors rookie Ryan Rollins on Thursday reportedly signed a three-year, $4.8 million rookie contract, in accordance with Shams Charania of The Athletic.
The Warriors announced the offer but didn’t disclose the terms.
Rollins, the 44th pick last month, could have the first 2 yrs of the contract guaranteed with a substantial commitment in the ultimate season. The team acquired his draft rights from the Atlanta Hawks in trade for Tyrese Martin, the 51st pick, and $2 million.
The 20-year-old didn’t appear with the Warriors in summer league following the team discovered a stress fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot during his medical evaluation. He was with the team, despite not playing.
Rollins averaged 18.9 points, six rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.7 steals in 34 games as a sophomore last season at Toledo. His 641 points were the third-most in program history and he became the fourth Toledo player to attain at the very least 1,000 points in two seasons.
The Warriors just like the addition of Rollins in the backcourt as a new player that may score and run the offense. His exact role has yet to be determined however the team certainly has high hopes for him after rewarding him with a three-year contract.
