Santa Cruz Warriors selections in the 2013 D-League Draft.
* = optional
Rounds seven and eight are not mandatory, as described in a Warriors release.
The Santa Cruz Warriors have ten picks in the 2013 NBA D-League Draft, including the fifteenth selection in the first round, the third selection in the second round, four picks in the third round, and then one each in rounds five through eight. This year, the first six rounds of the Draft are mandatory, while teams may opt not to select players in the seventh and eighth rounds.
Last season, the Warriors were able to pick up Travis Leslie with the 13th pick overall, which worked out pretty well if you recall. And Keith Schlosser of Ridiculous Upside has more about the type of talent that can be found throughout the draft, which could help an organization at both the D-League and NBA levels - as one example, he pointed out that 2012 fourth round pick Arinze Onuaku (Reno Bighorns) managed to parlay a strong summer league performance into a training camp invite.
