Your Top 5 2020 Warriors Draft Picks

[oaktownwarriors87]

I think Wiseman goes #1...just probably not to Minnesota

Is that the best case scenario for the Warriors? 2nd best prospect is taken first, then the Warriors dangle the #1 prospect to teams like Milwaukee and Los Angeles?

I could see someone wanting to steal Wiseman.

[Onus]

I read that Edwards has never been on a winning team throughout hs, aau and college. That’s scary

[HiRez]

I'll upgrade my list (now we know we're at #2 but trade-down remains a distinct possibility)

1. Wiseman (still fills the most needs)
2. Okongwu (fills needs like Wiseman but trades size for mobility/versatility)
3. Haliburton (solid Steph backup, good passer, shooter, defender, and rebounder)
4. Vassell (great Klay replacement/backup, 2-way player)
5. Avdija (seasoned playmaker with positional versatility)
6. Okoro (strong lock-down perimeter defender to check LeBron/Kawhi with slash/lob hops)
7. Edwards (very high upside but too much bust potential)
8. Ball (great court vision but too many question marks elsewhere)
9. Toppin (nice inside-outside combo offensive game, great PNR potential)
10. Williams (powerful athlete but may lack the "killer instinct")

If the Wolves pick Wiseman or trade the pick to someone who does, it's honestly hard to choose at #2, I can see a case for any of the next 6-7 guys.

So this is the last time I will bug you about it. And no malice meant on my part, so if I come off that way, I apologize.

Are you willing to make some sort of minor bet, like a sig or something? The bet being what you said, “There is zero chance that the Warriors take Wiseman”
My part of the bet is that if Wiseman is there when we pick, I say the Warriors take him.

Sure I’ll make a sig bet. But the Warriors have to take him and keep him. Agreeing to a trade before the draft and taking him for another team doesn’t count. Or taking him and trading him a few picks later.

Got it, and agree fully!

[Little Digger]

Can I side bet? If Minnesota passes on Avdija, I’ll bet a gadzillion on the warriors passing on Wiseman

But man..Avdija would fit in near perfectly with Sota

[jason bourne]

1. LaMelo Ball - Pro ball experience, pure PG, excellent size for PG, potential to shoot from deep
2. Anthony Edwards - Can shoot and create own shot, quickest first step, can drive to basket, athleticism, combo guard, size, body to play right away
3. Deni Avdija - Size, 3-pt shot, pro experience, best Euro prospect, potential to play stretch 4, rebounding, good hands
4. Obi Toppin - Offensive game, nice vertical, physically strong, can absorb contact, smooth in transition and on attack in open floor, rebounder, PF, ready to contribute right away, weak laterally, not good recognition on D, can't change direction easily
5. Onyeka Okongwu - Defensive strength, rebounder, athletic, inside scoring, needs to develop shooting mechanics, needs to develop lower body strength for next level, not good lateral movement, needs interior presence

[watch1958]

I'm looking for the next Nemanja Nedovic.

[floppymoose]

^ he had a nickname.... what was it ?

[HiRez]

^ he had a nickname.... what was it ?

I think they called him “The European Derrick Rose” lol. And of course we also had Mikael Pietrus “The French Michael Jordan”. Maybe Nedovic also had a nickname that had something to do with that One Direction backpack Draymond and Bogut made him wear but I can’t remember what.

[jason bourne]

You mean Deni Advija isn't the Israeli-Serbian Luka Doncic ?

[Mylie10]

^ he had a nickname.... what was it ?

Euro Derrick Rose

[jason bourne]

Hm.. Next season, he could be the Lakers Derrick Rose.

[Flash Falcon X]

Looking back on previous mock drafts... the 2011 one scares me because perennial All-Stars Klay Thompson and Kawhi Leonard were always projected to go in the middle of the first round while guys like Brandon Knight and Alec Burks were top 10. Enes Kanter projected top 5.

Praying this 2020 draft doesn’t end up with so many future All-Stars coming from that 10-15 range while many in the Top 5 become busts.

[ShayDee]

Same list but different order now

1. Desmond Bane (I will die on this hill. He will be our Tyler Herro/Duncan Robinson. Klay replacement down the line)
2. James Wiseman (still fills the most needs, high 2-way potential)
3. Saddiq Bey (I Value shooting way more than anyone here)
4. Devin Vassell (backup, 2-way player)
5. Deni Avdija (seasoned playmaker with positional versatility)

Also my top 2nd round/undrafted sleepers, in no order, just for record

Trevelin Queen
Justinian Jessup
Malik Fitts
Sam Merrill
Nate Darling
Jahmi'us Ramsey
Ty-Shon Alexande
Immanuel Quickley

If you are a good GM you would find a way to get Bane without using the #2. But if you’re advocating to use it on Bane, then you’re fired! Jk

Give Boston or whoever is at 26 a future top 20 protected 1st, or trade 4 2nds to move up from 48 & 51 to 30 if he is there

And I don't mean at 2. But I will heavily consider him if we trade down. It is not ridiculous. People are mocking Toppin in top 5 and he is older than Bane, Cam Johnson went 11 last year. Buddy went in the lottery. In redrafts, people mock Brogdon in top 10. It will not be a reach taking him at 8 because I believe he will be better than 95% of this draft

[wco81]

Nobody named Desmond is going to be a dawg.
