The Warriors finally made it official and selected Memphis big man James Wiseman with the No. 2 overall pick in Wednesday's NBA draft.
Head coach Steve Kerr expressed his excitement for the selection, and believes Wiseman is "bursting with potential."
"We had a chance to watch him work out and have dinner with him a couple weeks ago," Kerr said. "He was so impressive, he's just bursting with potential. So, we're excited to get him, a lot of work ahead, but he's excited to be coming here, and we're excited to have him, and should be a great partnership."
