Harrison Barnes to GS is a very good pick. With a healthy Bogut and Curry they will have a very dangerous starting 5, decent bench and solid coaching staff to boot, the Warriors are going to make some noise next year.
I’m not so sure about that defense
Good point.
Bogut is an elite defender, he will make a massive difference. Barnes should be a solid defender (very good by GSW standards) & Ezeli is all about defense.
Andre drummond Damn it warriors, bogut will be injured just watch..
Could not be happier with what Boston did tonight. The only partial issue I have is how they passed up that load of talent named Perry Jones III. Oh well, can’t get em all. Nicely done, Danny. No choking this year like last year when you gave up Brooks!
Only concern for these picks is Garnett. If he is back then all is well. He will teach these kids the real meaning of working hard, For an added treat, if Ray Allen comes back (One of the hardest workers) celtics will be even better place. Of course $$ might matter, but both of them haven’t been stupid and have made stupid cash. Next few weeks will tell a lot!
Can’t anyone sign Machado and Hollis Thompson or any other undrafted free agents
