2013 - Nerlens Noel - Just signed a minimum contract
or Trey Burke/MCW both are fringe NBA players on their way out of the league.

2014 - Probably the guy we just signed, Elfrid Payton assuming Noel in 2013, or Dario Saric if they had drafted a guard in 2013

2015 - Sam Dekker, who Houston took with our pick seems as likely as anyone

2016 - Buddy

2017 - The win now upper classman position of need pick would have been OG Anunoby, which is who I would have liked

2018 - This year I think I heard someone say the team was interested in Jacob Evans

Of that entire group there isn't a single player as good as Jrue and maybe not a single player as good as Mirotic. Building through the draft isn't just about drafting players, it's about being bad enough for long enough to hit on multiple top 10 picks. But even that is a hit or miss process, no pun intended. For every Philadelphia or OKC success there's an example of build through the draft failures like Sacramento and Orlando.

Hitting on picks I'm confirming its hard.

The warriors had pick 3.

Chris Washburn. Cocaine.

Warriors had pick 3.
McHale. traded for who?

Warriors had pick 6 overall. Passed on Kobe. Took some pasty white guy from wake. Out of league with the quickness.

Warriors had 15. Traded. Seattle got Shawn Kemp. Warriors got back.Alton lister two years after he could physically play. Butt muscle.

After Mitch Richmond stepped back over the line twice with the game on the line in the 7th game of 2nd round he was traded for 3 overall which was spent on a guy who tried to hit jumpers from 14 feet while on the move in any of 5 directions.
Only Elgin Baylor could do it.
Our guy from Syracuse could not shoot free throws. But he could pass. That pick was a killer.

The next one was Webber for penny and three number 1s.
They did a one year deal with webbrr and wouldn't pay for a repeat performance. He walked. Penny went to the finals and 3 number 1s went bye bye.

Bless us golden fans. We suffered long.
Sprewell strangled one of our coaches who tried to point out something in a manner spree found not sympathetic.
We got nothing for him.
