This is the best-case scenario for the Warriors at five, getting to choose their pick of a capable role player. Devin Vassell and Issac Okoro may also make sense here. Avdija, however, would be a dream with his cutting, passing and ability to get up and down the floor. It’s hard to find a better fit next to Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Golden State would be hitting a home run in this scenario after a nightmarish season.
