NBA Draft 2019: Warriors GM Bob Myers hoping to find instant contributors

OAKLAND - Bob Myers is a busy man.

Less than a week after the Warriors lost their first NBA Finals in three years, Golden State's general manager -- armed with the 28th and 58th picks in the 2019 NBA draft -- is looking to add a player that can contribute to a crippled roster.

Throughout Myers' tenure - with sharpshooters Klay Thompson and Steph Curry on the roster -- the GM has prioritized defensive-minded playmakers instead of scorers in the draft. In 2018, he notably selected rookie guard Jacob Evans, who struggled in his first season in Oakland and will be playing for their Summer League team.
