The 2023 NBA Draft is already less than a month away. Or, depending on your view point, it might be that the draft is almost an entire month away.
It’s a longer wait than the Golden State Warriors are used to having. Last year there was exactly one week that separated the Warriors splashing champagne at the TD Garden and making emotional phone calls to Patrick Baldwin Jr., Ryan Rollins, and Gui Santos.
The Warriors have one selection in this year’s 58-pick draft: their first-round pick, at No. 19. They don’t have their second-round pick, because it’s been passed around more than a joint at Woodstock, which is customary for second-round picks.
