OAKLAND — There aren’t many people who hold the Warriors’ organization in higher regard than me.
But heading into the 2018 NBA Draft, I can only think about one thing: how lucky this franchise is.
That statement doesn’t diminish the Warriors’ success and the front office and overall organization’s role in making that success happen, but what else would you call a team that has won this much over the last four years and yet has run into incredible fortune again heading into Thursday’s 2018 NBA Draft?
Perhaps fortune really does favor the bold. Let me explain:
For the first time in the Steve Kerr era, the Warriors need to draft a player that can contribute right away, preferably at the wing position.
