Golden State Warriors It has gone from being clear about the player that the San Francisco franchise was going to choose in the next NBA Draft 2020 with its pick No. 2 to going back to the beginning, where doubts reigned within the offices of the board . The reason for it? Deni Avidja.
Apparently, the Israeli player would have surprised the Warriors very positively, as reported by The Athletic journalist Ethan Strauss: “They have been impressed with him.” This disrupted the plans to select yes or yes to the promising James Wiseman, who seemed to have already done it as a new player for ‘La Bahía’.
However, Kendrick Perkins has recently assured through ESPN that the rumors of the Golden State Warriors interest in Avidja are totally false, or at least not strong enough to make them change their minds, since for the former NBA player the franchise already has the decision made regarding Wiseman.
“The Warriors are going to draft James Wiseman. Do you know why I know? Because that’s what they need. I understand that Avidja has done an impressive training against them, but they need what they need, and he’s a great player. “They will recruit Wiseman. When the time comes they won’t think twice about choosing him or not.
Perkins is not far from reality. The Warriors really need a center that can allow them to compete for the ring again. The rest of the playing positions are already perfectly covered: Stpehen Curry at point guard, Klay Thompson guard, Andrew Wiggins at forward and Drymond Green at power forward.
