Golden State Warriors

What to be thankful for: The No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft 

After a season to forget, there was hope that the Golden State Warriors would pick up where they left off after losing in the NBA Finals in 2019. Though, after another significant injury suffered by Klay Thompson, there’s added doubt as to whether this team will be a contender in 2020-21.

Thankfully, they still had the No. 2 overall pick. James Wiseman will help this season and could emerge as a building block for the future. After another long-term injury to Klay, the Warriors should be thankful for the asset that was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.
