Draft Express' take on the Warriors draft situation

Golden State Warriors 29-53 Draft Pick #7 Draft History: 2008- SF/PF- Anthony Randolph (#14), PF/C- Richard Hendrix (#49) 2007- PF/C- Brandan Wright (#8), PG/SG- Marco Bellineli (#18), Jermareo Davidson (#36), Stephane Lasme (#46), 2006- C- Patrick O’Bryant (#9), C- Kosta Perovic (#38) Depth Chart: PG: Monta Ellis/ CJ Watson* SG: Jamal Crawford*/ Anthony Morrow*/ Marco Belinelli SF: Stephen Jackson/ Corey Maggette/ Kelenna Azubuike PF: Brandan Wright/ Anthony Randolph/ Rob Kurz* C: Andris Biedrins/ Ronny Turiaf/ Jermareo Davidson* Despite their 29-53 record and the general sense of chaos that surrounded the season, the Warriors are not in as bad of a place as it seems. They do still have a glut of multi-purpose wing players and rail-thin big men, but at various points during the season, especially once Monta Ellis returned from injury, they actually looked and played like a team. Or, as close to a team as coach Don Nelson’s group has looked since their last playoff run. Next year, with health, improvement, and experience on their side, the Warriors look like they have a chance to compete for a playoff spot. As in most years, though, the Warriors’s success has a lot to do with Nelson’s handle over his team. They must find a consistent rotation early on, as well as assemble a group of players that satisfy Nelson as well as the front office. They have the personnel to execute a successful up tempo system and with a good summer and a bit of luck on their side, things are looking in the Bay Area. During this draft, there is one need that can and likely will be addressed: finding a point guard. Monta Ellis showed potential to be the starting point guard and Jamal Crawford and C.J. Watson did a decent job during their minutes at the position, but this team needs a solid back up with potential to play on or off of the ball if necessary. There are all sorts of point guards available and, with the seventh pick, there will likely be a number of good options that fit well in Don Nelson’s system. The Warriors should jump at the opportunity to fill a need and add another good young player, hopefully a player who can help take this team to the next level.

Day 1 analysis of the combine.

Holiday is looking like he did back in high school (like a dominant point guard)

Lawson is proving more and more that he was carried by his team.

Curry and Flynn doin well.

A trade for Odom

What do you guys think of this trade to get odom?

possibly throw in CJ watson or a draft pick?

Odom would fit our system perfectly at the 4. Maggs would be great off the bench for the lakers and as far as i know they need annother backup PG? idk

Personally I think we need to trade to get a 4 and try to draft a 1 since there are so many quality 1's available in the draft

what do u all think?

Suns breaking up the roster?
