Warriors Ultimate Draft snubs: Matt Barnes, Sleepy Floyd left off list

Share

Editor’s note: Monte Poole, Logan Murdock, Drew Shiller and Grant Liffmann participated in NBC Sports Bay Area's inaugural Warriors Ultimate Draft. All four chose squads from a 25-man pool of legends from the last 30 years, plus five "classic" players from before 1990. Our team of experts will dissect and analyze the merits of each team until a winner is crowned.

Our Warriors Ultimate Draft put together an impressive pool of players for our group of experts to choose from. 

But you can't have a list without oversights. Here are the biggest Warriors snubs of the 30-man draft pool. 

Bernard King

King averaged 22.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists during his two-year stint in the Bay Area, earning an All-Star appearance in 1982. Despite his big year, he was traded to the New York Knicks just before the 1982-83 season in a sign-and-trade for Michael Ray Richardson. 

Jamaal Wilkes 

Wilkes won Rookie of the Year and an NBA title in 1975, averaging 16.5 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists during his tenure. The Hall of Famer signed with the Lakers in 1982 and went on to win three more titles with the "Showtime" Lakers. 

Al Harrington

Harrington was the centerpiece of the trade that brought together the "We Believe" Warriors midway through the 2006-07 season. However, he averaged just 4.5 points, 5.2 rebounds in the first round of their first-round upset playoff victory over the Dallas Mavericks. 

Matt Barnes 

Barnes was also an integral piece of the "We Believe" Warriors, whose defense on Dirk Nowitzki helped Golden State achieve one of the biggest upsets in NBA history. Barnes returned to the Warriors during the 2016-17 season and won a championship ring as well. His presence forever will live in Warriors lore. 

Harrison Barnes

Barnes helped bring the first championship to Golden State in 40 years, but his inconsistency caused the ire of many in and out of the organization. However, his departure made way for Kevin Durant's arrival in 2016.

David West 

West came to Golden State in 2016 in search of his first ring. By the end of his two-year tenure, he'd help the Warriors win back-to-back titles. 

Robert Parish

In four seasons, he averaged 13.8 points and 9.5 rebounds. However, the Warriors traded Parish to the Boston Celtics in 1980 for the No. 1 and No. 13 picks in the 1980 NBA Draft, giving Boston the No. 3 pick. Boston ended up with Parish and Kevin McHale, while the Warriors chose Joe Barry Carroll and Rickey Brown.

Sleepy Floyd 

Before Steph Curry made historic playoff scoring outbursts routine, Floyd held the team's defining performance. He scored 12 consecutive field goals in the fourth quarter and finished with 51 points in the now-famous "Sleepy Floyd Game" in 1987 to help Golden State beat the Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals. He had a solid career in the Bay Area, too, averaging just over 18 points in his five seasons with the Warriors.

Jamal Crawford

Crawford averaged nearly 20 points in his lone season in Golden State, even scoring 50 points in a midseason game against the Bobcats. But he came two years after the "We Believe" squad that he could have flourished on.
