That player would be Golden State point guard alum Yuri Collins. After ending his college career at St. Louis, Collins went unselected in the 2023 NBA Draft, playing in other leagues until he signed with the Golden State Warriors in 2025.
The St. Louis, Missouri native played the only 2 games of his NBA career with the Dubs, leaving the league as a player afterward.
