The Official Golden State Pick (Top 7 protected) Thread for 12-13 season

I'm pretty frustrated with the jazz so I say who cares. Even if the jazz get the 12 and 18 picks in this draft I'm sure they can blow it by
1-drafting a player that duplicates another player on the roster,
2-rating character much higher than basketball skill,
3- letting whoever they draft sit on the bench.

Go Jazz.

I think especially with those 2 points - they could have drafted Kawhai Leonard and play him from the get go with Hayward. I know Burks has amazing potential but having him stuck behind Hayward isn't going to do anything to bring out that potential.

Leonard has proven to be a SOLID defender who can rebound and steal at a great rate. He's also developing into a decent 3pt shooter. He size means he could play with Hayward interchangeably at SG/SF pretty easily.

Dude plays for Popovich. He would not have reached that potential under Corbin.

And if we drafted him, then we have talked about the fact that he did not prove anything yet to play 10+ min

Burks would be killing it in San Antonio.

My point was more the fact that Hayward was playing SG most of last year, and we drafted Burks who we know is a SG as well, making it more difficult to give Burks & Hayward playing time together on court... if we had drafted Leonard, that may have made it easier to play him at SF alongside Hayward...

But yeah.. it's Corbin we're talking about here...

Last time I checked various media outlets, even they couldn't agree:

2013 – top 7 protected (per Draft Express, ESPN.com) or top 6 protected (per RealGM, Sheridan Hoops)

I'm sure it'll be cleared up later in the season.

There have been links that have already cleared this up. It's top 7 this season. Not that it matters. It's going to end up being the 12th pick or thereabouts.

Also, thanks everyone for giving PKM credit for being correct about it being top 7 protected when I was the OP. ****ing hacks.

Also, if we get say the 11th and 15th picks, how high could we move up? #8? #9? I want Poythress.

Does anyone know which SG and which PF KOC is targeting in this year's draft?

Seriously? I can't imagine he's really thinking about that right now. Scouts are scouting but no serious consideration would be meaningfully discussed this early.

I'm making fun of the fact that our team is made up of a bunch of SGs and PFs.

Burks would be Popovich's favorite for the same reason Gordon "hit the G Spot" (r) Giricek won Sloan's undying love.

I'm very interested in why you love Burks so much. I just haven't seen much NBA out of him. Kid has plenty talent though.
