Original Pick. Patrick O'Bryant. Thabo Sefolosha . 9. player. 41. Career Stats: 5.8 PPG, 1.5 APG and 3.8 RPG

Sefolosha’s numbers don’t jump off the page by any stretch of the matter. In fact, just looking at his numbers, you would think it to be unfathomable for him to make the top 10 in the NBA re-draft.

However, Sefolosha’s true value can’t be estimated from his statistics. In 2009-10, Sefolosha made the All-Defensive Second Team and two seasons later, he was the starting shooting guard on a Thunder team that reached the NBA Finals.

Unlike Bargnani, Sefolosha is also still in the NBA, currently playing for the Atlanta Hawks. One thing’s for sure, the Warriors would rather have selected Thabo over Patrick O’Bryant, who played a total of only 40 NBA games for Golden State.
