DNHQ Draft Tourney Final Round. Jett Howard (1), Jordan Hawkins (2), Dereck Lively II (6), Colby Jones (12)

shot maker (with ankle issues) vs super mobile defender

Overall results and how we chose the field at 2023 Dub Nation HQ Draft Tournament. Past Draft Tourneys archived here.

Our Draft Tournament

Yes, we made it through our FOURTH annual DNHQ Draft Tournament, where Dub Nation gets to vote on whom the Warriors should draft via head to head showdowns.

The draft will happen on Jun 22 2023, 5pm. (NEXT WEEK!!)

Lots of buzz recently about the Warriors shopping Kuminga to move up in the draft. It’s single-source (Givony) so be wary. Anyway, if for some reason that comes through, we will do some kind of emergency scouting.

Round 2 Results

• Jett Howard (1) vs Noah Clowney (9)

  • Jett Howard 57%

  • Noah Clowney 43%

  • Yes, a lot of us are worried about Jett’s defense, but enough of us (including me) want to gamble on a smooth shooter and shot creator.

• Jordan Hawkins (2) vs Kris Murray (10)

  • Jordan Hawkins 55%

  • Kris Murray 45%

  • Copy and paste the uneasy vote from above: Yes, a lot of us are worried about Jett’s Jordan’s defense, but enough of us (including me) want to gamble on a smooth shooter and shot creator tireless off-ball cutter.

• Dereck Lively II (6) vs Sidy Cissoko (14)

  • Dereck Lively II 80%

  • Sidy Cissoko 20%

  • Even though voters think Lively won’t be there to draft, they voted with their hearts and left the game theory behind.

• Colby Jones (12) vs Bilal Coulibaly (13)

  • Colby Jones 62%

  • Bilal Coulibaly 38%

  • A close vote, but the comments broke hard for Colby Jones, mainly because voters did some game theory and decided Coulibaly was not going to fall down to #19.
