Golden State Warriors, Will Richard, Rookie of the Year, Stephen Curry | Lachlan Cunningham/GettyImagesThe Golden State Warriors may have found their latest gem in rookie Will Richard, and he could have a chance to join a long line of Rookie of the Year winners to play in The Bay. In fact, no franchise has had more players take home that award in NBA history, and Richard could help them extend that historic streak.
Richard was the No. 56 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. One of the final selections of the night. Yet he’s playing real minutes for a Warriors team that is looking to compete for a championship this year, which is a very impressive accomplishment.
But can he actually win the award?
