Draft Targets
Pick #30: Cliff Alexander, Power Forward, Kansas
Though not eligible to play in the tournament, Alexander should still be a late first round selection, and is the best big man available for the Warriors, who would presumably like to draft one. Though not very skilled, Alexander boasts a 7’3” wingspan and great athleticism. He’s averaging 7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks on an efficient 56.5% from the field – nothing special, but solid numbers nonetheless for the freshman. He can rebound and defend, and that’s pretty much all the Warriors will ask of him, as he will be in a limited role and simply providing insurance behind the injury-prone duo of PF/C David Lee and C Andrew Bogut. Still, being drafted to a title favorite has to make the kid smile.
