Although the Warriors and 13 other NBA teams had two-way spots available, the former No. 55 overall pick may have found the best fit in Japan. According to ESPN, Olbrich's contract "makes him among the highest-paid imports in the league."
Still just 22 years old, Olbrich will have the chance to pursue the NBA once more next year.
