If you were to ask the New Orleans Pelicans last offseason the value of their pick, it’d cost a list of assets so long we couldn’t fit it on this page. Well, for the Warriors this season, that’s certainly not the case.
The reason why is the 2019 draft has generational talent. Even Ja Morant, who went No. 2 overall, is considered a future star. Zion Williamson, the easy No. 1 overall selection, was a superstar before he even played a single game in the NBA.
In this draft, that high-level talent just isn’t there.
