Warriors To Pick 14th In 2008 NBA Draft

The NBA held the 24th Annual Draft Lottery on May 20 in Secaucus, New Jersey, and the Warriors did not move up from their pre-lottery position. Golden State will own the 14th selection in the first round of next month's draft, as well as the 19th selection of the second round (#49 overall).

Warriors Director of Player Personnel Mitch Richmond acted as the team's representative at NBAE Studios, and following the lottery, he appeared on the Razor & Mr. T Show on KNBR.
