The last two times the Golden State Warriors were selecting in the lottery, they had disappointing results.

2020 No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman was a bust, while 2021 No. 7 overall pick Jonathan Kuminga was more of a rotation piece than a quality starter.

Perhaps the Warriors will have better luck witih the 11th pick of the 2026 draft.

I've reviewed the last 15 players taken with the No. 11 pick. If that history is an indication of what's to come, the Warriors have a good chance to get at least a quality starter.
