Yea he looks to have the energy of a role player that is willing to do whatever it takes to win. He would get the crowd hyped.

Here’s a longer scouting report from last year.

One columnist insists Warriors have no interest in Wiseman.

Meanwhile another report says they would trade down for Mannion.

Meanwhile Michael Wilbon wants Obi Toppin for the Bulls, is scared Warriors will take him and win it all.

if they really want Okongwu instead of Wiseman and can get a 2021 1st from trading down then I'm all for it. His offensive game is pretty limited though.

they better be trading down with one of their 2nd round picks if they are picking Mannion. He is short with short arms no athleticism and not a good shooter.

If the Warriors are going to take a small guard I would rather they took Malachi Flynn from SDST

Don’t think too hard, just draft wiseman or edwards and call it a day

I can't believe how much time I'm taking away from the pandemic and institutional racism to think about the NBA draft.

I feel very fortunate.

As far as what any of the sports journalists say about who the Ws will draft, they may actually be relaying "insider" information. But insiders can also hand out disinformation, or an informant can turn out to be out of the loop. So I tend to cordially disbelieve almost every story about anything draft-related. They're no more useful in the long run than outsider guesses.

I like that Wiggins kid..I know he’s a little old to be in this draft..but even at 24 years old, I’d take him #1 or #2 overall for the Warriors

totally 100%. If the Warriors were leaking all the players names that they were high on they would be stupid. The one name they are said to be out on is Wiseman and that could just be a smokescreen so a team that wants him wouldn't feel the need to trade up with Minny to #1. Even the Woj piece on draft night about them wanting to trade the pick, it's good for the warriors to have that out there wether they actually want to trade it or not.

Great post. Wolves fan here dropping by to see if you want Wiseman like we expect. What might surprise you is our board is 50% in favor of drafting Wiseman ourselves with 25% Edwards and 25% for the rest including Okongwu, Advija, and Ball. It is your FO's job to give misinformation out and make people believe it. Anything you hear you can pretty much know that is not what they really think. If we decide we don't want Wiseman we may try to swing a trade with Charlottle or ask for our pick back for next year or additional protection to swap picks with you. Just some ideas we are bandying about. If you aren't interested in Wiseman we try to complete the trade with Charlotte. Hopefully you fool them into thinking you want Wiseman. Cloak and Dagger stuff.

Another person who gets it. However, they have to slip in a little truth once in a long while to keep people guessing.

I like both these guys in the late 2nd round

On record, this guy going to be a sleeper. Jahmi'us Ramsey averaged 15/4/2 1.3 stls, .7 blocks as a 6'4 guard Shot 42.6% from 3 on 5 attempts but 64% from FT on 3 attempts

Agree with you, this guy is a major sleeper. Reminds me a lot of Anthony Edwards.

The Maestro · Post #2056 » by **The Maestro** » Sat Aug 29, 2020 2:15 am

If you really wanted to get crazy, you could trade down with NY or Boston and get that extra pick and take someone you really like first like Vassell and then get Ramsey toward the back end of the first. If Ramsey hits his potential then you’re basically getting Anthony Edwards type upside.

All the people attaching the "weak Draft" narrative. Just because there is no Zion, doesn't mean the rest of the top prospects would not make an immediate impact at a high level. I've written somewhere that I believe this will be one of the stronger drafts in a while. It will better than 2019,2017,2016, 2015 etc imo with respect to the prospects coming out and making an NBA impact.

I know because these prospects unlike other years have had extra time to work on their weaknesses that the other years players didn't, like about 2 extra offseasons of work. So expect to see more guys with NBA ready bodies, better defense than advertised, better 3 point shooting. I mean Deni worked on his shot and was immediately better when he got back to the league. We just need to stop undervaluing the #2 pick

We need to desperately get draft workouts from this prospects. I feel the FO will make a rash decision at 2 because of the desire to win now. Will pick fit. How did it work out for PHX and SAC? Please Bob make the right choice. Draft workouts might help but please don't mess this up

Also find a way to pick Bane bob, We need shooting from the bench that isn't Lee/Mulder. We just need shooting on every position and we desperately need size, especially at the 5 to battle the bigger Cs in the league. Back up PG too. DAL have Burk, OKC have Schroder, Bucks have HIll, Raps have between Lowry/FVV/Terrence Davis, LAC have Lou/Bev, DEN Monte Morris, MIA had Dragic with Nunn starting before etc. It's important the acquire one if we don't want to play Steph many minutes. But Shooting will help a lot to keep us in the game like Rockets/Mavs if they go down

I really like a bunch of the "2nd tier" prospects in this draft. But think about this ... with the college season in danger and the 1-and-done rules going away we may get the most talent ever declaring for next year's draft with even more limited data on the players. This year's draft is odd, next year's may be insane.

I’ll probably be a little disappointed if we end up drafting somebody at #2

I won't. only because it's been a long time since Warriors had a high profile draft pick. Wiseman, Edwarda, Ball or whoever could be the reboot card we need for the next decade.

Warriors have an awesome opportunity to turn this into a 10 year championship contender team. 2015-2025.
