Hannes Steinbach Projected Warriors No. 11 Pick

Hannes Steinbach entered the draft process as a borderline lottery prospect. His performance at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago helped shift perceptions, as executives noted his physical profile and skill set. Prior to the combine, he had already drawn attention for his one‑year stint with the Washington Huskies.

At the combine, Steinbach measured 6‑10 tall, weighed 248 pounds and posted a 7‑2 wingspan, traits that evaluators described as making him a big winner. In his lone season at Washington he averaged 18.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.2 steals while shooting 57.7% from the field and 34% from three‑point range, earning All‑Big Ten Third Team and All‑Freshman honors. Kevin O’Connor projects him to be taken 11th overall by the Golden State Warriors in the 2025 NBA Draft.

The Warriors’ front office views Steinbach as a versatile big who can play alongside Draymond Green and provide spacing for Stephen Curry with his three‑point touch. His rebounding and interior scoring could address Golden State’s need for a young, athletic frontcourt piece. If selected, he would join a roster aiming to balance immediate competitiveness with long‑term building.
