Warriors wanted Brayden Burries at No. 11
· Yahoo Sports
The expectation: The Bucks would take Nate Ament from Tennessee at 10. So when Atlanta took Houston guard Kingston Flemings at No. 8, and Dallas selected Michigan forward Morez Johnson Jr. at No. 9, the Warriors thought they had their guy. But having acquired a second lottery pick one day earlier, Milwaukee could be greedy. And it was. The Bucks selected the best player on the board at No. 10 — Arizona guard Brayden Burries — knowing they could get Ament at No. 13. And they did. That’s how close the Warriors came to landing Burries, a player they believed had star potential. A player who had the skills to create a new dynamic in their offense without sacrificing defense. Someone with the size and strength — 6-foot-4, 215 pounds — to handle a workload right away.
