I know the consensus among "draft experts" is that you always draft best player available. I agree for the most part, but that doesn't mean you should adopt such a narrow perspective either. It's OK to consider your team's areas of strength and weakness -- including by position -- when [...]
ESPN's Chad Ford has Kentucky center DeMarcus Cousins dropping to the Warriors at No. 6 in his latest mock draft (version 3.0). Check out the entire mock here (you'll need ESPN Insider to read it). Here's what Ford had to say about the prospect of Cousins slipping to the Warriors: [...]
Lady Luck didn't look in the direction of the Warriors on Tuesday night, as the Warriors, who went in with the fourth-best chance of landing the No. 1 pick, instead fell to the sixth overall selection in the 2010 NBA draft. The draft is Thursday, June 24, in New York [...]
After tonight's draft lottery, the Warriors will know their draft selection slot, which could be as high as No. 1 all the way down to No. 7. How important is this process? If the Warriors jump up to No. 1, are they set for the playoffs and championship contention for [...]
The Warriors will find out their position in the upcoming NBA draft during tonight's lottery selection. The Warriors, who finished the 2009-10 season with a record of 26-56, could draft anywhere from first to seventh. Today's result will shape the rest of the offseason.

Well, you can't blame Stephen Curry if voters don't name him Rookie of the Year. He certainly has done everything possible to demonstrate that he is the NBA's most talented rookie, including a sparkling performance in the regular-season finale against the Blazers (42 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, [...]
The Warriors played really hard last night (a 103-94 loss to the Jazz) but in the end, it was too much Paul Millsap and too much Monta Ellis that did in the Warriors. I hate seeing games like these from Ellis (4-22 FG, 6 turnovers). When his shot is off like [...]
The Warriors play the Washington Wizards today (4 p.m., CSN Bay Area) with a couple milestones in reach. One milestone is more important, but they are linked; one can't happen without the other. The first is a three-game winning streak for the Warriors -- the first for the team this season. The Warriors [...]
