The Golden State Warriors knocked their 2019 NBA Draft out of the park, and here are three reasons you should love it as well.
The 2019 NBA draft has passed us by and the focus now turns to free agency. This proved to be a great opportunity for GM Bob Myers to add complimentary pieces to the Dubs roster. And he didn’t disappoint.
Joining the Dubs is Villanova power-forward Eric Paschall, Michigan State shooting guard Jordan Poole along with Alen Smailgacic. A player that emerged during a terrific spell for the Santa Cruz Warriors in 2018-19.
Prior to draft night, Golden State had seven players on the roster and with extensions for Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and Kevon Looney looming, the need to find cheap depth was vital. As was clear by Myers’ desire to acquire another draft pick.
The Warriors desperately required to bolster their rotation that struggled to find secondary shooting and was largely unable to give Head Coach Steve Kerr consistent minutes last season. It is hoped the additions of Poole and Paschall will spark life into the Dubs second unit.
In the end, the Warriors left Brooklyn with three new additions to their roster and hopefully two of these additions will be consistent contributors in year one.
Here we take a look about why the Dubs can be pleased with their rookie class.
