"The Warriors need someone to go with guards Stephen Curry(notes) and Monta Ellis(notes), and they need Brandan Wright(notes) or Anthony Randolph(notes) to emerge at power forward. They still can move into the draft's top four and take a small forward, Ohio State's Evan Turner or Syracuse's Wesley Johnson - or Kentucky center DeMarcus Cousins could eat his way out of the top five. 'Cousins is the most dominant big man in the draft,' Nelson said. 'He's the youngest, the most talented and the biggest of all of them. He plays the position that everyone is looking for. If you're going to have attitude problems, you'd better be a center who is a rebounder. You can deal with attitude problems if the guy can do some things in those areas.' More likely, the Warriors are going to have to decide among three power forwards: Georgetown's Greg Monroe, Baylor's Ekpe Udoh and Wake Forest's Al-Farouq Aminu are all promising, and Monroe eventually might develop into a center. Selecting one of the power forwards, however, would be a public admission that what the Warriors have said about either or both Wright and Randolph has been wrong. 'It's mostly about stockpiling talent,' general manager Larry Riley said. 'I know those guys bump into each other and there isn't enough playing time, but the only thing we're not going to do is draft a point guard.' There is still a chance the Warriors can pull off a trade for proven low-post presence Al Jefferson(notes) or small forwards Andre Iguodala(notes), Tayshaun Prince(notes) or Hedo Turkoglu(notes)."
