After celebrating their run to an NBA title, the Golden State Warriors are turning the page to the draft. On Thursday, the Orlando Magic will kick off the 2022 edition of the NBA draft with the No. 1 pick.
For the first time in two seasons, the Warriors will not hold a lottery pick. Instead, Golden State will hit the clock with the No. 28 selection in the first round. The Warriors have shown the ability to find premier talent at the tail of the draft with previous late picks Jordan Poole and Kevon Looney. To help extend their title window, Bob Myers and Steve Kerr will be challenged with finding another potential contributor at No. 28.
With most Warriors fans still locked in on all things regarding the NBA Finals, Cody Taylor of USA TODAY SMG’s Rookie Wire stopped by to preview the draft for Warriors Wire. Taylor set the scene for Golden State’s draft night by answering three key questions heading into Thursday’s event at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
