Nothing is guaranteed in the NBA Draft. These four players have the highest-risk and highest potential reward for the Golden State Warriors.

The Golden State Warriors are lucky enough to be in a position where they have the No. 2 overall NBA Draft pick – but they don’t really need a rising star to lead them to contention. They already have an elite core ready to compete for a title.

This gives them a number of options to consider with their pick. Should they swap with a team further in the order to acquire more assets? Will they select a player with star potential anyway and attempt to build another super team? Or should the franchise look for a less developed player to stash on the bench and prepare for the future?

All of these options are good and the Warriors have yet to buckle down in any certain direction. The only thing we know is that by November 18, the Dubs will have to make a final decision on their upcoming draft pick.

We have looked deep into a few of the top prospects but today let’s take a moment to analyze a few players who have the highest risk/reward potential. There isn’t much middle ground with these prospects and their future in the NBA will likely either be great or bad. Will the Dubs consider taking the risk?
