19. Golden State Warriors – Bobi Klintman, F, Wake Forest
With limited salary cap flexibility, don’t be surprised if the Golden State Warriors end up moving back into the second round. Any dollar that the Warriors can save, they will probably try. Especially if they are going to have to shell out extensions for Draymond Green and Klay Thompson in the near future.
If they keep the pick, one interesting prospect that the Warriors could hone in on is Bobi Klintman.
20. Houston Rockets (via LAC) – Leonard Miller, F, G League Ignite
Leonard Miller is another one of these late risers that could play himself into being a late first-round pick. If the Rockets are willing to take a gamble on another raw prospect, Miller could be a fit for the team at No. 20. Of note, this is another pick that could end up being moved.
The Rockets have made it clear that they plan on pivoting toward a win-now mentality and adding at least a couple of veterans seems like a safe bet for the team this offseason. While many expect to do so via free agency, they could theoretically make a move for one via trade too. And this is a pick that could be moved to add a veteran.
