Jordan Nwora — Lousiville
Forward – 6-foot-7 – 225 lbs – Junior
If the Warriors decide to go away from a traditional big-man later in the draft, Louisville’s Jordan Nwora is a name to get familiar with. Nwora won’t wow you with size and athleticism, but his traits as a shooter could make him a nice fit in Golden State.
In three seasons at Louisville, Nwora averaged 39.4% from beyond the arc in his career. As a junior, Nwora let it fly from long distance 6.1 times a game, recording 40.2% on the season.
The First-Team All-ACC forward led the Cardinals in scoring with 18.0 points per game on 44.0% from the field. On top of his shooting, Nwora is a productive rebounder, grabbing 7.7 boards per contest.
Against Boston College, Nwora inked a career-high 37 points on 11-of-20 shooting with seven 3-pointers and nine boards.

Nwora moves around the floor with an eye to let it rip. Whenever he gets the ball, his feet are set and ready to shoot. The 21-year-old would be a catch and shoot threat the minute he steps on the NBA hardwood. Nwora could develop into a small-ball power forward option for Kerr in Golden State.
