The Golden State Warriors are in a rare position going into the 2020 NBA Draft. They have three All-Stars on their team and the number two overall pick. This year the draft process has been longer than ever but the top few picks are still shrouded in mystery.
On the daily Locked On Fantasy Basketball Podcast, host Josh Lloyd reveals his final mock draft and explains why the Warriors need to take Killian Hayes with the second overall pick.
Josh Lloyd: At number two I've got the Golden State Warriors selecting Killian Hayes the point guard out of Ulm over in Germany. He's a big body point guard who has great vision, he's very left hand dominant, which is a worry. I think the shooting is going to be absolutely fine, I don't worry about the percentage on it. I think that his shot selection is pretty good. I think his free-throw shooting is elite, 88-89% there. The vision is fine. I think that his alleged lack of athleticism is a little bit overblown, I think that he's fine in that respect. I think defensively he's pretty good. I think he's got a strong floor overall.
Yes, the Warriors have Stephen Curry but they're not going to have him forever. Plus, if-and-when Steph goes off the court, you're not going to want to rely upon Jordan Paul to be your ball handler. I reckon you're in a little bit of trouble if that's the case. So getting an extra ball-handler in there would work well for the Warriors.
