Drafting players is far from an exact science, and many a GM has been second-guessed for his draft night decisions. I’m willing to bet that every team executive has at least one pick that he would like a mulligan for. We at Hoops Rumors thought it would be fun to give our readers the chance to predict the results of this June’s draft, which is what we are doing with a series of polls.
We are now at the end of the first round (and our mock draft) and have come to the Warriors. Readers, you are now on the clock! Cast your vote for Golden State’s selection and check back Friday for the final results. But don’t limit yourself to a simple button click. Take to the comments section below and share your thoughts on the No. 30 overall pick and why you voted the way that you did.

Ben Bentil. Imagine having Draymond teach this kid how to be a point forward? Similar body type, similar game.
Draymond is a waaaay better defender tho. Bentil has a long way to go in that department

Draymond is better you’re right, but like I said imagine Draymond teaching him. You’d have Draymond starting and mini Draymond off the bench. It would be madness.
I wavered between Qi and Bentil – I went with Qi assuming the Warriors would just stash him overseas for development while they continue to push for championships state side.
Bentil.
