Steve Kerr shared his thoughts on the Golden State Warriors having a high pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.
Kerr has been watching film of potential draft picks for the Warriors and said the team could do a few things with their high pick.
“We’re excited about having a high pick and there definitely are some guys who are very talented. This, obviously, is Bob’s (Warriors general manager Bob Myers) world. We’re gonna pick who Bob and the scouts feel like we should pick.
But, what we have to weigh is — are we looking for a player who is gonna help immediately because we feel like we’ve got this window the next few years? Are we gonna use the pick in a trade to try to trade for a vet who is ready to help us win right away?
Or do you look at it long term — because you know you want to be good for the next decade — and you take a young player with a lot of potential who’s maybe not ready to help us win yet but you feel like could be a great player down the road? Those are all options and that’s what we have to figure out as an organization,” Kerr told Tim Kawakami of The Athletic on the TK Podcast, as transcribed by Drew Shiller of NBC Sports Bay Area.
Before the NBA suspended the season due to the coronavirus, the Warriors had the worst record in the NBA (15-50).
