Best Lottery Picks in Warriors History

It’s a big week for the Warriors who hold the second overall selection in the 2020 NBA Draft on Wednesday. Since the initial NBA Draft Lottery in 1985, the Warriors have had 22 lottery picks, and they’ll add more to that list on Wednesday evening.

Chris Mullin

The Warriors selected Chris Mullin with the seventh overall pick in the 1985 NBA Draft, the first-ever year of the NBA Draft Lottery. Mullin became a five-time NBA All-Star and went on to spend 13 of his 16 seasons with the Dubs, proving to be a Warrior through and through when he returned back to the club for his final season as a player.
