Warriors' Draft Mistakes Cost Them | Golden State Warriors News
Description
The Warriors’ 2020 draft gamble on James Wiseman backfired spectacularly — a second-overall pick who missed his entire second season, then got traded for Gary Payton II in a messy four-team deal. They waited too long, letting his value plummet, while smarter teams like Atlanta pounced on opportunities — trading underperforming picks for proven stars like Lu Dort. This pattern of hesitation with young talent, echoed with Jonathan Kuminga, cost them a chance to build around Curry’s prime years. Now, without clear future stars or deep playoff runs, the Warriors are left scrambling to rebuild after costly missteps.
