There are several paths the Warriors could take with their No. 19 pick.
SAN FRANCISCO — In November 2020, the Warriors drafted James Wiseman with the No. 2 overall draft pick, their highest pick since they took Mike Dunleavy Jr. third overall out of Duke in 2002.
But with Stephen Curry still a top-five NBA star at the age of 35, the Warriors should be looking to maximize the here and now. And the process of retooling their roster to be a championship contender once again starts with the No. 19 pick in Thursday’s draft. In hindsight, Dunleavy said the Warriors might’ve relied too heavily on young players stepping up to fill voids left by veteran role players who left in free agency after winning the 2022 title.
After that, the Charlotte Hornets have the second pick and could choose between Alabama forward Brandon Miller or G League Ignite guard Scoot Henderson. Given the Hornets already have LaMelo Ball running point, signs point to them taking Miller, leaving Henderson to the Portland Trail Blazers.
