Golden State Warriors 2021 NBA Draft Lottery Recap

After the ping pong balls fell it’s now official: the Golden State Warriors own the seventh and fourteenth overall picks in the coming 2021 NBA Draft. Golden State headed into the lottery with the possibility of taking the Timberwolves’ 2021 first-round pick, should it have fallen outside of the top three. Now after dealing away D’Angelo Russell to Minnesota at the 2020 NBA trade deadline, Golden State officially received Andrew Wiggins and two first-round picks in the 2021 draft in return. The question ahead remains: will the Warriors actually use those two selections come July 29?

Is this season considered a success for the Warriors? The Dubs didn’t make it to the playoffs and in my mind, that’s what constitutes a successful season.

A Look at the Four Current Play-In Tournament Candidates

From the current fifth-seeded Lakers and beyond, the Western Conference’s playoff race is pretty tight. Only 5.5 games separate the Lakers and the 10th-seeded Warriors, but, let’s be honest, it’s extremely unlikely that Golden State jumps the three teams in front of them, ends the season as the 6-seed and gets themselves out of the play-in tournament.
