7. Golden State Warriors – Moses Moody, G/F, Arkansas

Truth be told, I’d be shocked if the Golden State Warriors didn’t trade one of their lottery picks if not both on draft night. Nevertheless, if nothing materializes, and there’s no guarantee that it will, the Warriors will have to make a few picks at the draft.

With the first, at No. 7, I think the Warriors could go a bit away from chalk. And that’s exactly what would be the case with Moses Moody. Even though some have mocked him in the top 10, I think the prevailing thought is that he isn’t a top 10 lock.

The Warriors could very well use a Moody type, though. He projects to be a good 3-and-D player at the next level and would fit right in with what the Warriors needed last season – especially if they lose Kelly Oubre Jr. in free agency.
