13. Golden State Warriors – Josh Giddey, G, Australia

Josh Giddey could be the next great player to enter the NBA from Australia. Depending on what situation he lands in, there’s a chance that Giddey will have the potential to grow and develop into a star.

While it’s easy to compare Giddey to Ben Simmons, because of their size and skill set, context needs to be taken here and that would be unfair for the former. But the Golden State Warriors might be an ideal landing spot for Giddey.

He’d be able to develop at a comfortable pace and learn under established and championship-level stars. And should Giddey develop as many hope, the Warriors would come away with the steal of the lottery.
