Golden State Warriors 2021 NBA Draft Lottery Recap

After the ping pong balls fell it’s now official: the Golden State Warriors own the seventh and fourteenth overall picks in the coming 2021 NBA Draft. Golden State headed into the lottery with the possibility of taking the Timberwolves’ 2021 first-round pick, should it have fallen outside of the top three. Now after dealing away D’Angelo Russell to Minnesota at the 2020 NBA trade deadline, Golden State officially received Andrew Wiggins and two first-round picks in the 2021 draft in return. The question ahead remains: will the Warriors actually use those two selections come July 29?

Odds Potentially Will Be in the Dubs' Favor Tuesday 

Warriors President Rick Welts will be at Tuesday’s NBA Draft Lottery, calling in via Zoom. Golden State is in the Lottery – it missed the postseason, after all – following its loss to Memphis in the inaugural play-in.

But a key acquisition from the Minnesota Timberwolves in a 2020 trade involving D’Angelo Russell and Andrew Wiggins means Welts’ trip might not just be ceremonial, as he could see the Warriors reap a major reward of the deal.
