For the first time since 2002, the Golden State Warriors will be on the clock with a top-five selection in the NBA draft. Following a lengthy wait, the Warriors will soon make their highly-anticipated selection for the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NBA draft. There’s still a bevy of question marks around the draft with only hours till the Minnesota Timberwolves are on the clock with the first pick.
As Golden State’s championship core gears up for a climb back to contention, Bob Myers and Steve Kerr could opt to trade the pick for a proven veteran who can fit with Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.
If they hold the pick, the Warriors could eye a big prospect that can provide consistency to their frontcourt or a wing piece that can add a punch to the rotation behind the Splash Brothers.
Top-prospects like James Wiseman out of Memphis, Georgia’s Anthony Edwards, Illawarra Hawk’s LaMelo Ball, Iowa State’s Tyrese Haliburton and Maccabi Tel Aviv’s Deni Avdija will be in play for the Warriors in the first round. Following their top pick, Myers and Kerr will turn their attention to their two picks in the second round.
Before the long-awaited No. 2 overall pick is on the clock, Warriors Wire has final predictions for the Golden State Warriors’ selections in the first and second rounds of the 2020 NBA draft.
