		Denver Martynas Andriuskevicius C Lithuania- Stayed in the draft for a reason, although I don’t think he thought he would be around this long.
		Teams are scared because he is so far away from being ready to play in the NBA that he's not worth the risk, even though he is 7'3.

		drafting marvin williams was kind of a no-brainer but they had a good draft.
		first of all, college statistics don’t mean much to the nba scouts, especially if its for a player that play in the maac and for a team that went 15-15 in that conference.
		its funny how the nba encourages all high school players to go to college before declaring for the nba draft but then they pick them over players who have made a name for themselves in college e.g hakim warrick going at 19.

		The Warriors have the 9th pick in the upcoming draft next week.
		Oh, they would like someone that would command a double team in the low post and can play good man-to-man defense, but if that person isn't available at 9 in the draft, then they can get a good player and just have him fit in.
		Maybe, if Granger nor Fyre are available, the Warriors can package the pick or player with a player on the roster and trade for a young veteran that meets their needs.
