5 players Warriors could target in NBA draft

5 players Warriors could target in NBA draft The Warriors don’t have a pick in Thursday’s NBA draft, but they’re interested in acquiring a second-round selection. Here is a look at five potential second-round sleepers Golden State could target when the draft starts at 4 p.m. PT: Though a physical specimen compared to many of the players he faced in the Mountain West Conference, he tended to take plays off and disappear for stretches. Oliver also settled for far too many mid-range jumpers instead of overpowering opponents with drives to the basket. Though an elite offensive player with great instincts, Dorsey hardly boasts the physical tools expected from an NBA shooting guard. Ultimately, his diverse offensive skill set gives him a shot at a long NBA career. The Warriors could see him as a replacement for Ian Clark, who will likely command more lucrative offers in free agency this summer than Golden State can offer him. The hope is that Hart blossoms into a savvy role player like Milwaukee’s Malcolm Brogdon, who went from second-round pick to Rookie of the Year candidate. Morris never finished a season at Iowa State worse than 35.8 percent from three-point range or 72.9 percent from the foul line. The Warriors could lose both Clark and Shaun Livingston this summer. Because Golden State wouldn’t necessarily have the money to sign adequate replacements, it might want a rookie guard capable of playing meaningful minutes. Bell is an instant-energy big man who emerged as a legitimate NBA prospect when he followed up a near triple-double against Kansas in the Elite Eight (11 points, 13 rebounds, eight assists) with a 13-point, 16-rebound showing against North Carolina in the Final Four. The Warriors, who rely on a switch-heavy defensive scheme, are sure to appreciate the former Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year’s ability to guard multiple positions.
