NBA draft: Warriors hope for rotation player at No. 30
OAKLAND -- Warriors general manager Bob Myers has joked that he "screwed up" the 2012 draft by twice passing on forward Draymond Green, who was nonetheless available when the team's third pick came around. It might be time for another such gaffe. Despite setting an NBA record with 73 regular-season victories and coming within five points of repeating as champions, the Warriors have a fair number of needs headed into the NBA draft on Thursday. They aren't major needs. They're subtle. They..>> view originalNBA Draft 2016 results: Rockets select Zhou Qi with No. 43 pick
The Chinese big man is a mystery that offers tons of upside, but will he ever reach his potential? With the No. 43 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, the Houston Rockets selected Zhou Qi, an enormous Chinese big man with major boom-or-bust potential.

Boston and Phoenix surprised the analysts and took Jaylen Brown and Dragan Bender ahead of them at Nos. 3 and 4, and the guy the Pelicans wanted and needed the most fell into their nest. For so many reasons, Oklahoma sharpshooter Buddy Hield was the perfect pick for the Pels. This was a no-brainer...>> view originalSources: Wolves' push to get Jimmy Butler from Bulls fizzles

BROOKLYN – It definitely was not the draft-night result Cheick Diallo hoped for Thursday, but the New Orleans Pelicans weren’t complaining. A 2015 McDonald’s high school All-American, Diallo spent one season in college at Kansas, then declared for the NBA draft, hoping to become a first-round pick.
