The only way the Warriors could have used the pick this year is if they had jumped from 14th into the top four of the lottery, an outcome that had just a 3.37% chance based on the lottery.
While catapulting into the top four of this draft would have given general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. more immediate options, some teams may value future draft capital more than present picks, anyway.
Not having a first-round pick, even in a weak class, makes some of the Warriors' offseason objectives difficult. On the Warriors' to-do list: getting younger and more athletic, adding a secondary shot creator next to Steph Curry, and either retaining or replacing Klay.
