2010 NBA Draft, Sixth Pick: Warriors Pick Baylor's Ekpe Udoh

We have our first real head scratcher of the night. Sure, the T'Wolves passing on Damarcus Cousins to grab Wes Johnson was a questionable move, but the Warriors may have one-upped them, choosing Ekpe Udoh sixth overall in the 2010 NBA Draft.

That's not to say that Udoh isn't a fine prospect -- he's an elite shot-blocker with a decent feel on the offensive end -- but the Warriors passed on Greg Monroe and Al-Farouq Aminu, both of whom are three years younger than the Baylor product. Monroe in particular would seem to fit in perfectly in Don Nelson's system as a highly skilled big who can roam the high post.

Monroe and Aminu have real star potential; Udoh is more of a solid rotation guy.

THIRD SKINNY PF IN FOUR YEARS

Well the Warriors outdid themselves this year. They already drafted two skinny PF, so why not add a third who is older than both of the guys they have. On top of that, he has less upside than either one of the guys they have.

Once again the Warriors show the world what a horrible, dysfunctional mess of a franchise they are.
