From Kevin O’Connors latest mock draft (Steve Kerr would love him so much but how does everyone else feel if he fell to us at 19)

    After seeing what Austin Reaves did to this team in the playoffs, give me a average looking white man to fein over

  2. RidiculousNickk

    Doubt he falls but this is a no brainer pick imo

  3. DeadhardyAQ

    Endless nickname possibilities with that name

    Huge Warriors fan and huge Jayhawks fan here. So I’ve seen a lot of Grady Dick. These are my personal observations from watching every Jayhawks game this year.

    Upside — He’s definitely promising. When he can find open shots, he’s money. His shot is mechanically perfect and his release is high and lightning fast. He works hard on defense and has above average foot speed (in addition to very solid instincts and a ball-hawking mindset). Crashes glass well for a guard.

    Downside — He has a lot of work to do on his handles and shot creation. If he doesn’t get the ball in rhythm, he’s not been particularly effective. He can disappear in the corner for long stretches.

    Overall — He could slot into our lineup almost immediately as a bench 3 and D contributor. We’d be lucky to get him.

    Edit to include a wildly speculative prognosis — A faster, longer 19 year old Klay Thompson.

    Another edit to add: This guy is NOT Austin Reeves. His driving instinct isn’t there yet, especially through contact. If he matures that particular skill, he has the potential to be way better than Reeves.

    That Green Dick combo gonna be fire

  6. nbaaccountobserver

    I think Dick offers us some nice length and size as well as being an excellent outside finisher who has some sneaky penetration. I think Dick will make our guys better overall

    No way he’s available at pick #19, it would require the warriors to trade up to get him. He’s a top 14 lock, in my opinion. He’s a money three point shooter who’s 6’8; that’s enough to ensure he has a long NBA career. Gradey Dick is the kind of player who’s value increases the closer you get to the draft.

    I am going to say this once he’ll yeah he’s exactly what we need out of a rookie

  9. minig24543

    I’d be worried about the Poole – Dick combo, they will look smaller then they actually are.

  10. He’s not falling that far, but he’d be a good fit.

  11. lastinglovehandles

    Looney, Dick, Poole, and Kuminga line up.

  12. doctorweiwei

    Not happening lol, don’t get your hopes up folks

  13. Budget-Hold-5176

    Not surprised that W’s fans love Dick

  14. _StephBetter_

    would love Gradey here but would love Hawkins more, one of my fav players in the draft

    #This dude looks just like my financial advisor Jeff.

    I wish we had drafted LeMello Ball and paired him with Gradey Dick just to have a Dick – Ball backcourt.

  17. okuzeN_Val

    I’ve seen this possibility floating around with the rise of other players in the big boards.

    Here’s [Jason Terry’s take](https://youtu.be/2I-eSk4weHQ?t=8)

    and [even Dwight Howard chimed in](https://youtu.be/Zs9x5JQPwDQ?t=4)

    Overall I think Dick would be a great locker room presence, I think the vets would be satisfied with having Dick on the team on a nightly basis.

    I foresee a young duo of Dick and Kuminga being crazy explosive. It’d make the Warriors a hub for talented vets to ring chase.

  18. calartnick

    Be pretty shocked if he fell that far

  19. courtsiderecon

    It would be highway robbery and a nightmare for the league if he fell to us. Only in my dreams tho he will be long gone at pick 19

  20. midnightjim

    If he falls that far grab him. I seriously doubt he will though

  21. RoastDaMostToast

    There is no way he drops this low

  22. BalloonShip

    That seems implausible.

    ESPN projects Brandin Podziemski, who makes a ton of sense because he could potentially fill some of Donte’s role.

    One day, we’ll wish the Warriors drafted Dariq Whitehead, who I think will be by far the best NBA player who will be available when the Warriors pick. But likely not as a rookie.

  23. TwizzlerStitches

    “Dick could help immediately ”

    Tell me about it

  24. by_yes_i_mean_no

    He’s a really easy pick if he falls to 19 tbh, can always trade some of the other young guys if you have too many. Dick is not falling to 19 though.

  25. buntopolis

    You gotta take him with a name like that.

  26. fatkamp

    Useless considering he’s projected at 10

  27. Jicama-Smart

    Kevin smoking some good stuff if he thinks gradey is falling to 19

  28. TipsyGypsy63

    What do you get when you try and make pizza in the nude?

  29. sugarwax1

    Joe wants some good dick. What? Someone had to do it.

  30. Mediocre-Leadership1

    You’re telling me bros government name is grade a dick 😂 sign him to a max contract say 1

  31. aaahhhh

    Would be ironic for Mike Dunleavy’s first draft pick to be Mike Dunleavy.

  32. Conversiongfx

    i’m sorry i can’t help but laugh

  33. Friendly_Giant04

    He’s a great player but we need a big who can score 15-20 points on a regular basis. Then I think we can splurge to get players from other positions
