The Golden State Warriors have signed point guard Phil Pressey, forward Elgin Cook and guard Cameron Jones, according to Kurt Helin of NBC Sports.
The most recognizable of the three signings is certainly Pressey, who unlike Cook and Jones, has prior NBA experience.
The Warriors now have 14 players on their active roster, needing one more to fill the minimum team requirement of 15.
The 5-foot-11 Pressey played at the University of Missouri and was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Boston Celtics, where he played from 2013-15.
He averaged a mere 2.8 points per game as a rookie and 3.5 points per game in his second year, shooting 30.8% and 36.8% from the floor, respectively.
The 25-year-old then bounced between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Phoenix Suns, averaging 3.3 points on 38.5 percent shooting.
Cook is a 23-year-old undrafted rookie out of Oregon. The 6-6 small forward played three seasons with the Ducks, where he averaged 14.8 points and 5.1 rebounds during his last year.
Jones is a 6-foot-4 two-way guard who spent the last two seasons overseas. The 27-year-old spent some time in the D-League where he averaged 19.4 points per game, 4.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game while shooting at a 46% clip with the Santa Cruz Warriors.
These three signings come at the heels of the blockbuster signing of Kevin Durant, as the team deals with very limited room for signing most free-agent veterans.
With the departure of Leandro Barbosa, Pressey could see limited minutes behind Ian Clark who will take the role of Barbosa as a third-string point guard this 2016-17 season.
