Time for me to read further than pick 14 in the mock drafts. I don’t recognise any of these names...

The Warriors tomorrow will hold predraft workouts with Derrick Alston Jr. (Boise State), JaQuori McLaughlin (Oregon State/UC Santa Barbara), EJ Onu (Shawnee State), Jordan Schakel (San Diego State), Jericho Sims (Texas) and McKinley Wright IV (Colorado).
Kyrie 45 minutes, KD 43… a total of 47 minutes from the bench, combined. I know they’re still up 2-1, and barely lost the game, but that can’t be good.
Holy shit, Giannis is 2 for7 on free throws. Hiss include an airball and getting called for standing there without shooting for more than 10 seconds. Deep in his head right now; I wonder if he gets tentative like Iggy.
Whatever. I'm getting mentally prepared for having the 6th (Scottie Barnes) and 14th (Kispert) draft picks. I get where Draymond is coming from, but assuming they are all back Thompson, Wiggins, Looney, Lee, Bazemore, Poole, and Paschall are nor rookies. And really, JTA isn't either given his international experience. regardless of what happens in the draft, Curry is going to be surrounded by veteran players. The rookies will be splitting their time between the G-league and the end of the bench. The Warriors have some options with the Mannion, Smailegic, GPII, Mulder, and Oubre slots to try to fine a veteran willing to play for the MLE and a couple of veterans wanting to chase a rind for the minimum if they feel they need old players. There's not reason to sell low on Wisemen or the draft picks.
I don't know why, but I just can't get too worked up over the fact that Steph and Dray got "snubbed" in the awards this year.
Top three out of 500+ in anything is amazing. Hugely respectful to Steph and Dray.
Since the awards aren't based on any objective criteria, there's always going to be room for argument and debate, and while I would have loved to see Steph and Dray voted #1 out of 500+, I'm pretty happy with them being #3.
There are a lot of guys I don't see play that often, and I'm as big a homer as anyone (and love Steph's and Dray's games), but I can appreciate others' greatness, too. I'm getting to see some of it in the playoffs this year. Kawhi in the last couple of games in the first round? Devastating. Lilliard in the 2 OT game against Denver? Did things I don't know if Steph could do.
Have we discussed JTA’s possible award?

Can't tell if Mitchell is taking that next step into superstardom or the Clippers are just clueless
Jazz are this good without Conley...wow
Not playing Gobert 40+ minutes might well cost the Jazz this game. Favors just isn't good enough anymore.
Outside of Steph and Klay, Spida is probably my favorite guard.

Bucks up three with 2.1 left… setting up a heartbreaking OT?
Tucker is playing better d on kd now than when he was with the rockets lol
3 minutes without a point scored by either team.
Why didn’t KD get any of these BS foul calls when he was playing for us? Lol

Part where they talk about the We Believe Warriors is awesome
That’s pretty good for Green really!
