that let's bring in our host of locked on warriors cyrus sautzes cyrus tell us honestly how are you

feeling about this pick not great uh and it's great to meet you, Jordan. Thanks for having me.

And I want to endorse the bird dog's tumbler as well. I love my tumbler. But regarding the

pick, I'm not ecstatic. Brandon Pajemski was the pick. It's not a huge surprise that the

warrior selected him, a shooting guard out of Santa Clara. He's 6.5,

and an unusually effective rebounder for a player his size. But there's a mystery regarding

how well of a player he is defensively. His first season in college was not good when he played

in Illinois. And the most concerning thing, and the most disappointing thing, at least for me,

and at least in gauging the, you know, the temperature in the room on social media from

Dubnation, I feel like they're disappointed as well, is that there was a solid player

available in Cam Whitmore from Villanova. He's 6-8-235. He would have been exactly

the type of player did the Warriors need. The Warriors are a very small team. They're desperate

for an inside presence. And for some reason, you know, Cam Whitmore fell in the draft. He was available at 19. And the Warriors won with a player that at least I feel like, and for my research, it seems to confirm this, they could have traded down. And this is a very deep draft. You know, you've seen teams like the Nuggets making trades to get extra picks in this draft simply because the next two years, all indications are there's going to be a lack of talent in these drafts.

It's going to be light.

So teams are really being aggressive with picks this year, and the Warriors had an opportunity to do so to trade down a few spots,

still get the player they want, also get another player or two.
