WRG Mock Draft #7: Golden State Warriors

The Warriors immediately look to fill a pressing need at the #7 pick: a pure point guard.

With Monta Ellis and Jamal Crawford in the current guard rotation, we're looking for a true point guard who can initiate our offense, run in the full court and be a leader on the floor. Our coach doesn't like to play young rookies much, so we want someone who can immediately come in and take the reigns of this team and be a leader on the floor.

With our GM on a mission to improve the team as quickly as possible in order to save his own job, we want someone who can contribute from day 1. Brandon Jennings has the talent to be considered here, but we don't think he can be the guy to come in and be that leader right away.

Tyreke Evans also has good value here, but we fear he'd clash with Monta Ellis and isn't that pure point that we covet.

One guy sticks out in this area like a sore thumb and is the obvious pick.

With the #7 pick the Warriors select:
Jonny Flynn, PG, Syracuse

We feel that Jonny Flynn can come in, and allow Monta Ellis to play his more natural off the ball position, as well as be that vocal leader we want. He can come in and make an immediate impact in the half court, as well as showcase his athleticism in the full cout. We are thrilled to take a natural leader with this pick.

The New York Knicks are on the clock.
