Best Pickings

Marcus Thompson for the Contra Costa Times writes that the No. 9 pick will be best available for the Warriors.

They wait to see if the Milwaukee Bucks take Andrew Bogut or Marvin Williams. They wait to see to whom the Portland Trail Blazers trade the No. 3 pick. They wait to see if the Utah Jazz goes for a point guard or a big man.

What the Warriors do with the ninth pick in today's NBA draft at Madison Square Garden depends so much on what happens ahead of them. Because things are so unsettled above them, the Warriors have no choice but to wait and be prepared for everything.
