Draft season is officially underway for the Golden State Warriors. With the Warriors being one of the eight teams left out of the league’s 22-team return plan, Golden State can begin to map out the 2020 NBA draft.
As the draft process is picking up steam, the Warriors are doing their homework on the 2020 prospect pool. With Golden State in-line for a top-five pick, the Warriors have already met with prospects on Zoom, including top-prospects LaMelo Ball and James Wiseman.
However, the Warriors have yet to meet with Georgia’s Anthony Edwards, according to Anthony Slater of The Athletic.
They’ve met with several prospects on Zoom in the last couple months, including James Wiseman and LaMelo Ball in recent weeks, I’m told. They haven’t been able to set up a meeting with Anthony Edwards yet. But the expectation is that they will be allowed in-person meetings with top prospects and possible workouts at some point later in the summer.
After averaging 19.1 points on 40.2% shooting from the field with 5.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in his first season in Athens, the SEC Freshman of the Year has been a popular name at the start of mock drafts.
His electric down-hill athletic ability matched with his raw playmaking potential, Edwards should be in the conversation whenever the Warriors are on the clock.

Although the Warriors haven’t had the chance to meet with Edwards, it’s still early in the draft process. While other teams are busy rounding out the season in Orlando, Golden State will have plenty of time to prepare for October’s draft.
