In case you missed it, the Golden State Warriors lucked out in the NBA Draft once again by securing two lottery picks, slotted at both No. 7 and 14 in the order. With this, the Dubs will have an opportunity to add cheap young talent to their roster.

The first six picks will do a decent job of narrowing down the field for Golden State — but there will still be plenty of prospects to choose from by the time they are up to select. Finding the best talent on the board, as well as a player who fits their current build, will be ideal for the Warriors.

Unlike regular lottery teams, the Dubs already have a championship core built into their roster. All that matters now is rounding out the lineup with enough supporting help to make the dream a reality.

Franz Wagner could end up being the most ideal prospect in the 2021 NBA Draft in terms of fit and talent for the Golden State Warriors.

Consequently, Franz Wagner will be an interesting target at No. 7. On paper, he seems to be one of the best fits in the draft for a team looking to win ASAP. What are the pros and cons of taking Wagner? Well, let’s jump in and start breaking this one down.
