Gonzaga Bulldogs’ Graham Ike may have gone undrafted in the 2026 NBA Draft, but the 6-9 forward will get his NBA shot in Northern California.
His agent, Fess Irvin of Fess Irvin Basketball, told The Consensus that he will reportedly sign a free agent deal with the Golden State Warriors. The nature of the deal is unknown at this time. If one had to guess, it sounds like a training camp deal with a chance of either making the 2026-27 opening day roster on a standard contract or joining the Golden State’s
G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors. A two-way contract, splitting time with both clubs, could also be an option.
The 24-year-old native of Aurora, Colorado, was a proven winner and scoring threat throughout his three seasons in Spokane, Washington. During that 101-game stretch under coach Mark Few, Ike averaged 17.8 points on a shooting split of 58.9 percent from the field, 35.8 percent on three-pointers, and 79.6 percent at the free throw line. The 2025-26 West Coast Conference Player of the Year also grabbed 7.5 rebounds per game and 31 double-doubles across that span.
Recent Gonzaga alums have found success after grinding their way through the G League. Just take a look at Los Angeles Lakers forward Drew Timme, Dallas Mavericks guard Ryan Nembhard, and Brooklyn Nets guard Malachi Smith, who all went undrafted.
