The Golden State Warriors will be under the the NBA spotlight leading up to next month’s 2020 NBA Draft. The organization is in position to get an impact player with the No. 2 pick while also having championship pieces already in place. The last time this happened was after the 1996-97 season.
Perennial All-Star center David Robinson suffered injuries to his back and foot, forcing to miss 76 games. The San Antonio Spurs struggled without The Admiral in the lineup and stumbled to a 20-62 record. The Spurs’ prize for their abysmal year was winning the draft lottery and selecting the best power forward of all time, Tim Duncan.
