Golden State Warriors Offseason Grades: Drafting Jacob Evans
Did the Golden State Warriors address one of the biggest needs on their roster by selecting Jacob Evans with their first round draft pick?
The Golden State Warriors lost Patrick McCaw to a back injury late in the season, and they nearly went down in the Western Conference Finals after Andre Iguodala suffered a knee injury.
The Warriors didn’t have much depth on the wing thanks to disappointing years from Nick Young and Omri Casspi, and it almost cost them a chance to defend their championship.
Golden State’s front office knew they needed to address that position this offseason, and their first opportunity to do so was in the NBA Draft.
