Pacers: Guys! We desperately need a power forward. WHO DO WE CHOOSE?!? Everyone in Indiana: Hey! We actually know a guy...

[@michaelmoses6843]

Couple corrections/additions from a big Hoosiers fan: Something that happens sometimes in the second round and happened with trayce, is when you get past pick like 35, the 2nd round pick contracts are usually non guaranteed, and the Warriors called Trayce and told him they'd trade into the draft to take him and give him a guaranteed deal. So when you get that promise from a team, you have your agent spread the word for others teams not to draft you. The pacers in their post draft presser alluded to the fact that they probably would've taken trayce in the 40s had they not been told not to. Indiana's best insider journalist was at trayce's draft party and was relaying all of this to us fans in real time, and it played out exactly the way we were told it was about to. Trayce likely goes around 40 overall otherwise. Also, trayce is really good, but golden state couldn't be a more perfect situation for him, their whole roster can shoot which takes that pressure off of him, they value basketball iq and passing extremely highly, and they have a massive need for a vertical threat and rim protector. We were all ecstatic when we found out gsw was his landing spot, we would not be talking about trayce as a massive steal this way if he hadn't gone to golden state, he'd be misused and underappreciated on 90% of teams. And then a small thing, trayce is a pure 5, he's pretty much never played the 4 anywhere in his career.

[@AndyPresto75]

As mediocre and inconsistent as we've been for most of this season it's been truly heartening to see TJD and Podz thrive so quickly in addition to JK taking the massive leap we've been hoping for. and becoming a starter. With Moody still working hard and IMO proving that he deserves more minutes every time he plays and Quinones also impressing despite limited opportunities the future is very bright for Golden State. Go Dubs!

[@lucky889s9]

Still can't believe warriors got another robbery. Those are 2 steals with Podz. Too excited in bucks game when 2 rookies locked down Giannis and Dame

Sure as hell missed him, Race Thompson and Schifino at IU this year. This was an embarrassing season. The fact Jalen Hood- Shifino was drafted before TJD, even though IU would have had zero success without him tells me these execs have a "type" and if you're not a 3 point shooter they will ignore you. I can't imagine the amount of potential superstar bigs that have been passed up because of the analytics cult that all the GM's seem to be in. Steve Kerr knew from draft night he had stolen the draft. That's even funnier because all the other GM's are trying to copy GS's and Houstons former success with 3 point shooters.

I'm so glad Steve Kerr gave him a chance, especially in the starting lineup. Once TJD & B-Podz became starters with Draymond & Wiggins, their defense skyrocketed. And when Warriors defense is great, they can be unstoppable like they were for many years. And they can all score points. Add Curry to that offense and they can be unstoppable. Make it happen Warriors! Beat the Kings. I kinda want them to play/beat the Lakers after beating the Kings. lol
