Warriors land Gonzaga’s Jalen Suggs with No. 4 overall pick in latest Bleacher Report 2021 mock draft
Although
it’s
still
early
in
the
2020-21
NBA
campaign,
new
mock
drafts
featuring
the
Golden
State
Warriors
are
beginning
to
roll
out.
After
last
season’s
blockbuster
trade
that
included
Andrew
Wiggins,
D’Angelo
Russell
and
a
first-round
pick,
the
Warriors
could
have
the
opportunity
to
be
on
the
clock
early
in
the
2021
draft.
In
the
latest
mock
draft
from
Bleacher
Report’s
Jonathan
Wasserman,
the
Warriors
add
a
versatile
piece
to
the
backcourt.
With
the
No.
4
overall
pick,
the
Warriors
land
Gonzaga’s
freshman
point
guard
Jalen
Suggs.
Via
Bleacher
Report:
A
large
sample
size
of
games
will
likely
expose
shooting
question
marks,
but
Suggs
adds
too
much
value
with
his
downhill
attacking
and
two-point
scoring,
passing
skills,
defensive
activity
and
winning
intangibles
to
fall
in
the
draft.
A
consistent
jump
shot
would
help
elevate
Suggs
into
potential
superstar
territory.
The
Golden
State
Warriors
get
the
Minnesota
Timberwolves’
pick
if
it
lands
outside
the
top
three.
After
passing
on
LaMelo
Ball
in
November’s
draft,
they
could
use
another
ball-handler
to
take
pressure
off
Stephen
Curry.

very
early
in

process,
Suggs
clearly
looks

attention
to
as
