By now you know what happened on Thursday: The Golden State Warriors finished as runners-up in the draft lottery, giving the team the number two overall pick in the upcoming 2020 NBA Draft.
That’s not a bad place to be in for any team, let alone for a team that already has a championship core that figures to be healthy for next season. And even though the 2020 draft is very weak, there’s no consensus top pick, which means the second pick is nearly as valuable as the first.
The Warriors will certainly have their options available with only one player off the board — and with a handful of teams that would be interested in acquiring their pick.
