While the focus of the Warriors is on this season and pushing for their sixth NBA Finals appearance in eight seasons, the fate of their future is right around the corner.
After closing out the 2021-22 regular season on a five-game winning streak, the Warriors enter the postseason with momentum and a 53-29 record.
The Warriors will get to rest for a few days until playoffs begin, enough time for fans to start speculating what Golden State will do in the 2022 NBA Draft, per Tankathon.

Golden State sits at No. 27 or No. 28 in the draft (tied with the Miami Heat) and has three overall selections -- two in the second round and one in the first. Their two second-rounders are currently scheduled to be No. 50 and No. 57 overall, pending tiebreakers.
With a loaded draft class, the Warriors have an array of options to choose from with their trio of picks.
Sure, it’s not lottery selection like promising rookies Jonathan Kuminga (picked No. 7 in 2021) and Moses Moody (picked No. 14 in 2021), but Golden State has no problem developing a late pick into a superstar. The last time the Warriors picked that lat e in the first round was in 2019, when they selected breakout star Jordan Poole at No. 28.
