Players who maybe see their stock helped by the Warriors win

[CFAN38]

The NBA tends to be a very fad driven league when it comes to prospects. An example would be after Dirk became a stud players like Darko and Titisvilli (how ever it is spelt) became a hot commodity in the draft. Shaq led to a run on huge centers like Curry and Diop. I expect the Warriors may to a lesser extent pull some prospects up in the draft.

The first guys who come to mind are Russell as a Curry comp, not that Russell doesn't warrant a high pick on his own merit but it has to help. Booker has to be helped by Klay Thompsons rise to stardom. RHJ may get a bump due to the finals performance from his fellow Arizona wild cat Iquodala. D Green may help Harrell as an undersized intense 5 and fellow Spartan Dawson as a utility defensive forward. I also think the diverse skill set of all the Warriors forwards will only help how teams view Looney.   

[Who]

Kevon Looney after Draymond Green's success.

Looney has all the tools to be a great glue guy at PF. Defensive versatility. Strong rebounding. Willingness to do the dirty work. Impressive perimeter jump shot (for a PF). Good passer and handle (for a PF). Athletic. Strong two way transition player.

idk why, maybe even Harrell after Draymond Green?

RJ Hunter as the small school attending, 3 point shooting Steph Curry lite.

He also has asthma  causing issues with stamina

I think the Booker bump is the most obvious.  From Thompson.  RJ Hunter getting a bump from Klay also?

Curry might help Tyler Harvey get drafted instead of going undrafted.  Russell is too big and talented to get a bump from Curry.  If a guy is his own bump already then the bump thing doesn't work....

Draymond Green doesn't help Harrell I don't think.  Ben Wallace may help Harrell.  Maybe Draymond helps Jarell Martin?  That's a hard one because a guy has to be a good passer and really high IQ guy to even start to feel a bump from Green.  Don't know who the second rounders are that fit.  Does Green help Portis move into the lottery or up to 15 from his usual 16 or below?  Portis is fiery like Green....can shoot from outside.  I'll go with Portis getting a slight bump from Green.

Maybe Iggy could give Justin Anderson a bump?

I think it hurts the stock of traditional big men who can't space the floor. Bogut was regarded as one of the top defensive centers in the league, and by the end of the series, he was basically out of the rotation.

 Who, I'm with you 100% Looney my guy this year, Green Maybe tougher, buy Looney in Longer, Taller, Quicker, faster, better rebounder.

 D Green avg 3 pts 3 rb freshman year
                      9.9 pts 7.7rb sophmore

Looney in his freshman year avg 11.6 ppg and 9.2 rpg! yeah at 19 he's all upside.

Good call guys. But can he spend enough time down low like Green?  I guess he must get in there if he rebounds so well...

[TheFlex]

RHJ bears a lot of similarities on the defensive end to Iggy. I wonder if someone with more knowledge of the draft than me can point to any similarities between their offensive game.

Get this standing reach Green 8'9" Looney 9'2" that's almost center range! And green has super long arms almost 7'2" Looney 7'4"! The kids tools are off the charts.

WCS

If anything WCS's stock should have dropped. What happened to the centers in these series? They sat out of the last two games for the most part. He cannot produce offensively. He cannot rebound like T.Thomp and he's not a playmaker like Draymond. His type of play should be less attractive after these finals.
