How Golden State probably whiffed on their opportunity to transition gracefully out of the Curry era (alien.top)

Golden state owned the 14th pick and the 7th pick in the 2021 NBA draft. They selected Kuminga 7th overall. The 8th pick? Franz Wanger. They selected Moses Moody with the 14th pick. Two picks later Alperen Sengun was drafted. In 2020 they selected Wiseman over the likes of Lamelo. Not saying they’re stupid for drafting who they did because at the time it had merit. I’m just pointing to the fact that they could’ve had those players to help with this period but instead set themselves (probably) pretty far back with Kuminga, Moody, and not even wiseman anymore.

Draft is always unpredictable.

Also, A Draftee being successful in one franchise doesn't necessarily mean he will be as good or as great in other franchise.

For ex: Giannis became the player he is now cause of the Bucks Franchise. I am not sure Giannis will be Giannis if he is drafted by teams like Wizards or Hornets.
