| Stock soared after grading out second at Orlando predraft camp.

| Might have more upside than any guard in the draft.

| Yes, the Warriors have Jason Richardson, but there could be a trade here, or Golden State could go big with a big man.

| When O'Bryant went for 28 points against Aaron Gray and Pittsburgh in the NCAA Tournament, you knew that O'Bryant would be staying in the draft. He's got some athleticism and has the makings of a solid postup game. The Warriors need some low-post offense to complement their superior perimeter game. |

| Warriors are always a wild card, but they need a center. |

| Tall and incredibly long mid-major center who saw his stock explode after an excellent NCAA tournament run. Shows intriguing raw skills on both the offensive and defensive ends, but is still a year or two away. Has good mobility, a fantastic frame and a huge upside. Motor and willingness to hustle and do the little things are big question marks. |

| The Warriors don't have any glaring needs and aren't in love with anyone in the draft. So don't be surprised to see Golden State trade down -- a number of teams, including the Hornets and the Bulls, are after Brewer. If the Warriors draft and keep Brewer, they'll probably say goodbye to Mickael Pietrus this summer.
If so, two options are Rodney Carney and Shawne Williams, both from Memphis.

| We've sent O'Bryant to the Warriors in three previous mocks, but since he didn't test out well at the recent combine, we though we'd see what happens to the board if the Warriors pass. Brewer could be the swingman to replace Mike Dunleavy if he's traded.

| An agile 7-footer with great potential? Sounds ideal for the center-starved Warriors, who have done a nice job stockpiing young big men with the picks of Andris Biedrins and Ike Diogu in recent drafts. |

| His strength and effort level can't entirely mask his lack of size and offense against the bigger power forwards he'll face. Understand, this is not Elton Brand. This is more like Ike Diogu. Not bad. But not great either. |

| The Warriors have two need areas: center and small forward. The best center available at this spot is Bradley's Patrick O'Bryant, but this team (and their suffering fans) doesn't need another project, which even O'Bryant calls himself. Carney is the best athlete in the draft and ready to play now. If everyone stays healthy, the Warriors could have a Kidd/Vince/Jefferson-esque trio on their hands with Davis/J-Rich/Carney. |

| The one thing that the Warriors could really use is a center. That's what O'Bryant is, but the only problem is that he's a couple of years away from making an impact at the NBA level. |

| Gay only worked out for teams in the Top 6 and, because he worked out twice for the Bobcats, many assume he's headed to Charlotte. If Charlotte decides on Roy, though, Gay probably will slip to Minnesota. If that does not work out, this is the next logical spot for him (though, admittedly, Boston's No. 7 slot is up in the air). |
