Draft picks 2021:
Warriors keep picks, take Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody in first round of 2021 NBA Draft. The Warriors selected G League PF Jonathan Kuminga with the No. 7 pick and Arkansas G Moses Moody at No. 14 in the 2021 NBA Draft.
After five straight NBA Finals appearances — and three titles — the Warriors hit rock bottom in 2019-20 finishing dead last in the Western Conference. This last season saw a big improvement as they finished 8th with a record of 39-33, good enough to grab a spot in the play-in tournament. They went on to lose to the Lakers in their first play-in game, then lost to the Grizzlies in the second game.
Draft picks 2020:
This is a risk/reward pick in my eyes. Kuminga goes to a great environment on the Warriors with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Does he fit into the offense? We’ll see.
The Dubs have gotten by with high-powered offenses with plenty of spacing. If Kuminga can’t develop a shot, he won’t last long with Golden State. If Kuminga does stick and fits in at forward, he’d have some fantasy basketball value. In keeper leagues, he’s someone to avoid early on, go with the guards.
Trade rumors:
Golden State seems outwardly confident that Wiggins will be eligible to play in all 82 games by the start of the season. However, the organization is obviously concerned and should be preparing for the possibility that he will not play in half of the team’s schedule.
The Warriors might not have much roster flexibility at this point in the offseason, but the front office has maintained the taxpayer mid-level exception. While that could be a valuable tool on the buyout market later this season, it could also be an avenue to solidify their wing depth now.
