30. Golden State Warriors

Pick: Tyler Ulis, PG, Kentucky

I went back and worth debating on which potential star that the Golden State Warriors should take a chance on, and then settled on Tyler Ulis. The Warriors, because of how well they’ve drafted in the years leading up to their emergence from the Western Conference, have the luxury of taking a chance at No. 30.

Assuming that Leandro Barbosa could leave in free agency this summer and that they have a team option over Shaun Livingston, Golden State adding a point guard wouldn’t be a bad idea.
