A trade back could serve multiple purposes for the Warriors and new GM Mike Dunleavy.
Whether the Warriors stand pat with the No. 19 pick in Thursday’s NBA Draft or trade it remains an open question. Whichever path they take, expect their guiding light to be acquiring players they think can play next to Steph Curry and keep open their title contention window.
Rumors swirled that the Warriors might put former lottery pick Jonathan Kuminga on the trade block in order to move up in the draft order. Such a trade would be a bold move for new general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. in his first few days at the helm. And teams with a handful of late first- and early second-round picks could be looking to consolidate; some teams don’t have the roster space to fit everyone. The Indiana Pacers, for example, have five picks in the first and second rounds: Nos. 7, 26, 29, 32 and 55. The Charlotte Hornets have Nos. 2, 27, 34, 39 and 41.
Murray, at 23 and without the same scoring ability as his twin brother Keegan may not be worthy of the 19th pick, but has the makings of a strong late-round pick. He’s a strong rebounder and scoring threat off the ball who has shown the ability to cut and make plays. At 6-foot-8 with a 7-foot wingspan, Murray is an intuitive player who could meld into the Warriors system.
