For the second consecutive year, the Warriors selected 30th in the NBA Draft and this year 7-foot center Damian Jones out of Vanderbilt is the team's first round selection.

In three seasons at Vanderbilt, Jones averaged over 13 points and nearly two blocks per game as a two-time First Team All-SEC standout.

The Warriors also used the 38th overall pick - acquired from Milwaukee - to select guard Patrick McCaw out of UNLV.

The first round of the 2016 NBA Draft is winding toward the 30th pick where the Warriors are set to select. Marcus Thompson of the Bay Area News Group joins us to talk about a Bay Area tie to the early part of the draft where Cal's Jaylen Brown was selected third.

He also talks about how the Warriors pick will inform perhaps some of what is on the horizon for the team in the weeks ahead.

As we hit the double digit plateau at the 2016 NBA Draft, it has been an intriguing evening at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

CSN Bay Area's Monte Poole updates some of the storylines behind the picks in the top 10 and talks about the summer ahead for the Warriors.

5:00 p.m.

The first few picks have been made at the 2016 NBA Draft with the 76ers taking Ben Simmons first and the Lakers selecting Brandon Ingram second.

We talk with Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle about the new look the Lakers are getting with former Warriors assistant coach Luke Walton now taking over the reigns as head coach in L.A., plus what lies ahead for the Warriors in this draft and during the offseason.

With the 2016 NBA Draft taking place tonight at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, we will have updates throughout the evening from Warriors headquarters as events unfold.

The Warriors currently hold the 30th overall pick. This is the same draft spot the team had last year when Kevon Looney was selected out of UCLA.

Warriors general manager Bob Myers spoke on Tuesday about the end of the 2015-16 season and this evening's draft.
