2. Josh Green

Josh Green is a player who has been mostly overlooked by teams in the lottery but could prove to be a memorable prospect due to his raw potential as a defender.

Green is a 6’6″ guard with a great wingspan and motor. He has quick feet and is capable of defending any backcourt player while also being strong enough to battle against forwards. His versatility is something that made him a key player for Arizona last year.

He is a solid offensive prospect as well. He shot 36 percent on catch-and-shoot 3-pointers last year and is a great attacker in transition. Green averaged 12.0 points on 42.4 percent shooting as a freshman.

Putting all of this together will be a challenge for Green. At 19 years of age, he still has plenty of developing to do before being considered a game-changer at the NBA level. However, he has the perfect build to be a two-way threat for the Warriors in the future.
