Who will the Golden State Warriors take at 28 in the 2018 NBA Draft?

De’Anthony Melton

Also named by Business Insider as one of the seven guys that could possibly be selected with the 28th pick was combo guard De’Anthony Melton out of USC.

Unfortunately, the former Trojan missed out on the 2017-18 season due to the FBI’s ongoing investigation into college basketball. The only stats we have from Melton go back to his freshman year: 8.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 steals in 27.0 minutes.

Additionally, he shot 43.7 percent from the field, 28.4 percent from behind the arc and 70.6 percent from the free throw line. Primarily known as an athletic defender, it’s obvious Melton has much to learn on the offensive side of the ball.

Both NetScouts Basketball and Sports Illustrated think Melton should go at 28 to the Warriors. From Jeremy Woo of SI.com:

"After missing the season due to fallout from the FBI’s investigation into college hoops, Melton is in the midst of an especially important predraft process. Golden State will aim to find another future role player at this spot, and Melton would add an extra degree of athleticism to the Warriors’ backcourt. A talented, instinctive defender, he needs to improve his jumper but could potentially play on and off the ball while handling a tough defensive assignment and taking pressure off the Warriors’ stars."
