Nice piece. Giddey at 7 and Jalen Johnson or Ziaire Williams at 14? Now that would be intriguing.

i think Zaire goes higher that 14....he was bad last year but the raw potential is there. but that would be an interesting choice as he could fit Kerrs offense well

Yeah, he might. No matter what, though, whoever they take at 7 will be viewed as a reach. Whoever they take at 14 will be viewed as a steal. The upside is that, of the 7-16 group of players, Warriors have the first pick. If 1-6 go as predicted, it's like the Warriors have the first pick of a completely separate draft. So at 7, they do get to pick the guy THEY LIKE the most. At 14, I think they are willing to pick the best player that slips through the cracks. They determine 7, the teams picking 8-13 will likely determine who they grab at 14.

Giddey is a player that I will be tracking no matter where he lands in the NBA. I just don't think he will land on the Warriors. I don't think they have the balls (no pun intended) to pick him but we do need a PG. #7 is going to be a stretch for any team to go for Giddey.

His height and passing are both things that GSW need. He's a decent rebounder which we obviously need. He's worth a long look.
