1. 2020 NBA Draft pick
This ugly season will pay off for the Golden State Warriors when they see the results of the 2020 NBA Draft Lottery.
If the Warriors continue to sit at the bottom of the league standings, they will secure the best odds to win the No.1 overall pick. Though there is still a chance this pick falls to a later spot in the draft, there is no question it will be valuable.
The 2020 NBA Draft pool doesn’t appear to be too stacked but a few notable prospects have been making waves. Players such as James Wiseman, Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball all have cases to be the top pick.
The Warriors should definitely be keeping their future in mind but that doesn’t mean they need to rebuild through the draft. Why take a chance on a college prospect if they can trade this pick for a solidified rising star?
Trading this pick for a young player who is ready to compete is the best option for Golden State. This gives them the ability to chase titles in the present while also building for the future.
