O.K., so as of the eve of the draft, the Warriors have got the #18 pick in Round 1, as well as the #6 pick in Round 2 (36th overall - from Minnesota) and the #16 pick in the Round 2 (46th overall - from New Jersey).

I'll ask the obvious - what do the Warriors look for in the draft? Who will be available at the various picks that could help this ball club? I've got my ideas, but wanted to pose the question before I shared my ideas.

One rumor squashed before it got any momentum involved sending Monta Ellis to the Hawks:

The room is spinning …

Quote:

A potential deal with Golden State - the main cogs being the 11th pick for Monta Ellis - is dead and gone, squashed by the Warriors from what I understand.

the dissatisfaction with Ellis is pretty interesting. I'm disgusted by hearing that teams like the Hawks and Warriors wanted Yi as much for the marketing potential as they did for on-court performance.


i like the big guy from Boston College, can't think of his name right now.

I know Yi is pretty good, but trading the MIP for him just seems silly...

His name is Sean Williams. It says he will bring an immediate force inside I see us getting him. http://www.nba.com/warriors/news/2007_Mock_Drafts.html

I sense GS trading up tonight for the fifth spot and taking Yi.

PFortyy

Damn, this sean williams guy averaged 5.0 blocks per game last season!

I won't get to see the draft tonight because I have to go to school

Hopefully the Warriors have a successful draft night.

I wasn't expecting to see W's taking Belinelli, at all!

I'm wondering why they pick him...

You got a steal in Brandan. The guy fits your team nicely. I love watching your team, but now that you have one of my favorite players its even better.

Don't know anything about Belinelli, but from everything I hear, he fits our team concept well.

And I'm guessing we can say goodbye to Pietrus with the selection of Belinelli.

essbee

I'm mad we didn't get Williams obviously and also mad at Belnelli as a pick.

very happy with brandan wright

Williams on the same team as Stephen Jackson? I doubt with Willams' off court history, that would have been a good mix.
