When a player wills his team to the Sweet Sixteen, the nation watches. This year, the Golden State Warriors could be the team to watch that player and then select them with their late first-round pick in the draft.
The players that take over for their team down the stretch and showcase the leadership needed to take their team to the next level are the same players that Golden State wants on their championship-caliber team. Many of them are seasoned collegiate players.
The Warriors, over the last few seasons, have drafted experienced collegiate players. Both Jordan Bell and Jacob Evans, the Warriors last two first-round additions, have spent multiple years in college.
