The Warriors are planning to rework the deck a little bit, hopefully for the better. We select Olympic champion Jerami Grant to bring more versatility to our team. Grant is a plus defender at multiple positions with great length who has proven he can shoulder the offensive load of a team, but is clearly much better served as a high-end complementary option.
With this addition, the Warriors are able to mix and match based on the situation. We're likely to start Grant and Adebayo together in the front court for a highly effective defensive duo who balance each other via floor spacing and ability to attack the rim. We also think against many teams we can run a secondary lineup with our likely sixth man superstar Ben Simmons playing point center alongside Grant while Bam sits. Of course, Grant's ability to shoot means our first five picks can play together (Curry, Brogdon, Grant spacing the floor for Bam and Simmons to attack) with incredible defensive versatility between Grant, Simmons, and Bam to guard down to the shooting guard position, but we like Simmons off the bench to mix and match the puzzle pieces.
