[scorecard]

As a Warriors fan, I was selfishly hoping that Huestis would fly under the radar and get picked up as an undrafted player, particularly given Lacob's Stanford connections.  But I am absolutely thrilled for The Wiggins Stopper, who was my favorite player on the team in recent years.  I love that you can be a 4-year player in the most hyped draft in years, be an absolute team player, do all the dirty work and never demand the ball, and still earn a 1st round spot.  He appears to be replacing Thabo Sefolosha as a defensive specialist (which means he would be asked to match up on Lebron) and OKC hope that he will blossom like Kawhi Leonard.  He will certainly have plenty of time working on his defense against Durant in practice.  Found a pre-draft workout video, always thought he had nice form, but wow, he looks great here (as every player should in a highlight package).  I can't really remember that we ever ran a play for him off the curl on the wing, but I honestly couldn't bear to watch every minute of our games.

Dwight Powell also has a highlight video where he is shooting 100% from the field, with a bunch of the shots coming over Cameron Bairstow, the skinny headband wearing Lobos player who is probably having flashbacks from the tourney.  Unfortunately, he ended up in Cleveland, but hopefully he will get some good coaching under David Blatt, because he certainly has all the physical talent needed to succeed.
