28. player. 41. Like the Boston Celtics, we usually trust the Golden State Warriors with some of these later picks. Having added Patrick McCaw and Jordan Bell over the last two seasons, the back-to-back champs have some draft magic. Bruce Brown Jr. has been a bit underrated at this point due to his season-ending injury and being old for his class. He’ll turn 22 this year, but he’s an extremely aggressive defender who can play above the rim. His questionable shooting, similar to Jarred Vanderbilt, won’t matter as much on a team like the Warriors. With Shaun Livingston getting on, it makes sense to invest in an extra two-way ball-handler to support Stephen Curry. Bench lineups with Brown and Bell would be dynamic.. PG/SG. Miami. Bruce Brown Jr.
