11. Golden State Warriors: Alec Burks Once again, I offer a reminder that lottery teams have many needs and thus the educated guessing game can be a bit tricky. But in the new Warriors era that includes the likes of consultant Jerry West, future GM Bob Myers and new coach Mark Jackson, it's clear that size in the backcourt is going to be a priority (along with the frontcourt desires I mentioned in 2.0 that led to the Marcus Morris pick). At 6-6, Burks is a sizable slasher/scorer who is looking to improve his versatility as a part-time point guard. Washington State's Klay Thompson is a major attraction here, too, although the 6-7 swingman is an outside threat as opposed to the penetrating sort.
