2022 NBA Draft

I personally believe that we will aim for continuity and incremental improvements. That means we will re-sign Brunson and Nico will get his shot to use #26.

Warriors got Looney and Poole late in the first round. And last two drafts hit on usable bench players at 26.

If trading the pick (26) can help yield us a quality starting Center that could immediately solve our frontline woes, I'm all for it.
I'm not crazy about Kessler as a fit for us at all, and some of the others are good prospects for us but unproven.

We just went to the WCFs, so I don't think we are in a position to experiment and develop.
Even if we do draft one of the Centers that might be available to us, we'll still have to sign another center if we want to upgrade our short-term situation.
Personally, I don't think that would be wise because we could use those resources to address other areas of need.

However, if Williams would happen to slip to us, I could see him getting into the rotation fairly quick, but it doesn't appear he'll fall that far based on all of the mock drafts I've seen.

I think this is our best bet. Give Nico a chance to do something with the draft. Trading away the pick doesn't necessarily give us any cap relief.
