Golden State Warriors NBA Draft: 3 Prospects to consider
By Tony Pesta
Kennedy Chandler – G
The Golden State Warriors do not have many needs but an additional playmaker could help them throughout the course of a long season. And, it wouldn’t hurt to have another ball handler as Stephen Curry increases in age.
Sure, Jordan Poole can take on this role but even Poole would benefit from a primary ball handler to run the second unit with.
This is why Kennedy Chandler is a good fit in Golden State.
Chandler is a craft guard who averaged 4.7 assists as a freshman. A stern floor general, aggressive defender and efficient shooter — what is not to love?
The Warriors would be able to take their time rounding out Chandler’s game and a few stints in the G-League throughout his rookie season would likely lead to one hell of a battle-tested point guard coming out on the other end.
