You probably aren't one of us who thinks GSW drafted guys who they will trade later on or even next season just to extend their championship window with Klay Steph and Draymond. They need vets for that role not rookies. Thus they have no need to really develop Wiseman, Wagner, Kuminga, Moody.. just show flashes and sucker a team to trade for them with their capable vets.
GSW isn't ready to push the reset button. I think they feel they have 3 more years at championship aspirations. I mean look at the west this early on. Who is dominating? You can say its them as of now.
Thus, they aren't drafting high IQ players to develop and think future. They are drafting trade baits.
IIf you want to get value you trade picks not players. They will get penny on the dollar.
Normally that's true. That's why we heard a lot of rumors that Wiseman plus picks were on the table for a trade before the draft. Sadly, nothing came out of them. Thus they might have been forced to just get the "rawest most upside" players they can to maximize their trade value? who knows..
But my point and stand is that GSW isn't caring right now to develop players, they are going all in and trying to surround their stars with as much help as they can to maximize the amount of rings they can bring to the team before they fall off.
I thought the best way to develop players was to guide their practice to help them develop the skills they need. Game experience is great, but it’s not where players build muscle memory or physical strength and conditioning.
