TheGolden State Warriors are coming off quite a rough year. They lost Kevin Durant to free agency and Klay Thompson couldnât play with an ACL injury. If that wasnât enough, Stephen Curry was forced to miss most of the NBA season with an injury of his own.
Then again, that down year may have been a blessing in disguise for Steve Kerrâs team, as it allowed him to develop some interesting prospects that could play a big part in their rotation once they get their stars back at full strength.
And, you know what they say: The rich get richer, and thatâs exactly what happened to them, as they just landed the 2nd overall pick of the 2020 NBA Draft. And even though itâs still unclear whether theyâll use it or trade it, itâs nice to be in control of your destiny.
2020 NBA Draft: Stephen Curry Thinks That The Warriors Need More Size
Thatâs why Stephen Curry chimed into the debate by claiming that he believes that the team could use some size and depth â meaning they could lean towards James Wiseman , but added that he trusts General Manager Bob Myers to make the right choice:
âWe just need talent. At the end of the day, thatâs what youâre always trying to get. I think we could use some size, but for the most part itâs just trying to fill out the roster and get us as much depth as possible. I like the position that weâre in with the assets that we got and the guys coming back off of injury. I think weâll get it right, our front office has gotten it right over and over, and I expect nothing different coming back from this tough year we had,â Curry told Bleacher Report.
The Warriors built through the Draft. They got Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green, and most recently Eric Paschall, so itâs pretty clear that they know how to make the most of their picks, so they will be back to being a Championship contender as soon as they get their stars back in the hardwood, especially if they add another top-tier talent next to them.
