<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Philadelphia general manager Billy King added a creative twist to Wednesday's NBA Draft lottery in Secaucus, N.J., bringing a horseshoe from Triple Crown hopeful Smarty Jones. Asked if he tried a good-luck charm of his own, Warriors executive vice president of basketball operations Chris Mullin said dryly, "Obviously not." King and Mullin landed the same result as most teams did: inertia. Only one team in the lottery improved its position, as the normally hapless Los Angeles Clippers hopped from fifth to second. The Warriors stayed in the No. 11 spot. Orlando, which had the league's worst record (21-61), nabbed the No. 1 overall pick for the first time since 1993. That was the year the Magic took Chris Webber and traded him to the Warriors for No. 3 pick Penny Hardaway. The previous year the Magic also had the No. 1 pick, getting Shaquille O'Neal. Webber helped the Warriors reach the playoffs in the spring of 1994 ... and, well, you probably know what has happened to the local NBA entry since then. The challenge of lifting this franchise out of its decade-long hibernation falls to coach Mike Montgomery and Mullin, who represented Golden State at the lottery. Afterward, speaking on a conference call with Bay Area reporters, Mullin was predictably non-committal about what kind of player the Warriors will target with the No. 11 selection in the June 24 draft. </div> http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?...PGM46S1FC12.DTL
It will probably be a point guard or a small forward. Why? Because this is the warriors. Besides I'm thinking certain people we have our eye on could be taken undrafted. Like centers and stuff.
