Pick #44 - Ryan Rollins to Golden State Thé steal of the draft. Rollins is a great shot creator and scorer. A promising playmaker. Very underrated defender. I project him to have a Monta Ellis esque career and him getting a huge paycheck after this rookie contract. Grade: A++

The Warriors are big fans of Ryan Rollins. They spent $2 million to move up seven spots to draft him. After the draft, Rollins told me the Warriors almost traded up to No. 30 to pick him. Rollins starred at Toledo and the 6-foot-3 guard has a wingspan that's almost 6-foot-10

I can’t wait to see Ryan Rollins on the court, because the film I’ve seen in college did NOT wow me. He looked outmatched physically in highlights of the NIT First Round against Dayton (heavily favored over Rollins’s Toledo squad but still).

But the Warriors have seen him up close and checked out his background, and they seem to have not wavered in wanting him on the roster, not even after finding the fracture in his foot.

So, welcome to our latest Warrior!

I've been thinking about the contracts situation, and a possible solution came to my mind. I humbly hereby propose it to Joe Lacob.

Call a meeting, with:

- Bob Myers

- Steve Kerr

- Steph Curry

- Klay Thompson

- Draymond Green

- Andrew Wiggins

- Jordan Poole

plus:

- Andre Iguodala (because of his charisma and because he's a finance man)

- Kevon Looney (because he's the wisest)

, and in such meeting, PLAN TOGETHER the financial and sport matters, max contracts included, for the next 4 seasons.

Isn't that an idea? What do you think?

For name's sake, we will call it 'The fellowship of the Multiple Rings' (this should keep us patent-wise safe from that bully JR Tolkien guy)
