Ball Don't Lie continues counting down potential NBA Draft lottery picks. Because I'm far from a college ball expert, I called in the big guns — The Dagger's MJD and Eamonn Brennan, and guitar hero KD — to help break it down. Up next, because we completely forgot them on Friday, Golden State:

KD's offseason outlook: The Warriors are lucky in the sense that what could have been a rather unsettled summer will merely be an unsettled summer, as coach Don Nelson has already made it clear that he'll be back in the Bay Area next season, and Baron Davis has also made it apparent that he won't opt out of the last year of his contract. Nelson's declaration came in the form of a contract extension, while Davis' leanings have been sussed out due to the knowledge that Baron is not an absolute moron. It would take an absolute nutter to give up 17.8 million guaranteed in 2008-09 for a free agent trek that would be unlikely to yield half that, and Baron’s no dumb cookie. Beyond that ... who knows? This team has loads of holes, not a lot of cap room to fill it with, and some iffy trade assets to work with.

Needs: Depth, at any position. Even if restricted free agents Monta Ellis and Andris Biedrins sign to new deals (or Biedrins plays out his qualifying offer), the Warriors will be over the cap with only nine players on the roster. On top of that, other NBA teams should be hot on the trail for guys like Mickael Pietrus (kind of), Matt Barnes (sort of), and Kelenna Azubuike (definitely) — three wings who were yanked in and out of the rotation by Don Nelson all last season. On top of that particular that, the Warriors have until June 30th to use their 10 million dollar trade exemption, though it’s looking increasingly less and less likely (there aren’t a whole lot of disgruntled superstars left) that Golden State will be able to.

So, with the 14th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors, represented by MJD from The Dagger, should select ...

Anthony Randolph, SF/PF, LSU

No one knows if Anthony Randolph will be playing small forward or power forward in the NBA, which makes him a perfect fit for Don Nelson, who isn't concerned with the archaic notion of "positions." With his athleticism and current lack of strength, Randolph's probably a three on most squads, but in a land where Matt Barnes and Mickael Pietrus can be your power forwards, Randolph can be your center. He's crazy athletic, blocks shots and hits the glass hard, but also has some respectable perimeter skills.

There's at least a decent chance that Randolph will be available at #14. He's one of those high-risk/high-reward types who's been blessed with an incredible body, but still needs a whole lot of polish.
