Heading into the 2016 NBA Draft, here are the five best draft options for the Golden State Warriors with the 30th overall pick.
The Golden State Warriors‘ front office has very little time to dwell on the disappointing conclusion to their historic 73-win season. With the 2016 NBA Draft set for Thursday afternoon, the Dubs’ attention will turn to their options with the 30th overall pick just four days after that Game 7 defeat.
Selecting in the same spot as last year when they chose UCLA’s Kevon Looney, the Warriors will have several options with the final pick of the first round, which is really a no-pressure situation.
If the Warriors whiff on their pick, they’ve got more than enough talent for it to not matter down the road. If the Dubs trade their pick, they save themselves some vital cap space for the summer, when they’ll try to make a play for Kevin Durant. If they find a contributor who can help make up for some of the Warriors’ departing depth, general manager Joe Lacob will have struck again.
As the Warriors try to plan ahead for an important summer of free agency, here’s a look at the five best options for the 30th pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.
