The Warriors have picked 23-year old power forward Ekpe Udoh with the sixth overall pick of the NBA Draft. Udoh is a big guy at 6′10″, 240 pounds and he will be throwing his weight around for the Warriors. Udoh played in 36 games (all starts) for Baylor last season and he averaged 13.9 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 3.7 blocked shots per game. He finished up his time in college (3 years) playing in 103 games (67 starts) in which he averaged 8.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.8 blocked shots per game. Udoh should start from day #1 for the Warriors giving them solid defense and rebounding.

UPDATE: The Warriors will be without rookie power forward Ekpe Udoh for the next six months due to wrist surgery.

The Warriors have only one pick (#6) in the NBA Draft tomorrow night. They will likely use it on the best big man available which will likely either be Greg Monroe, DeMarcus Cousins or Cole Aldrich. The Warriors got beat up inside last season and that’s why they played so poorly. Injuries also really hurt the team in 2009-10. The Warriors will also likely dangle PF Anthony Randolph in trade talks to see if they can add some more picks tomorrow night. The Warriors are a team to keep your eyes on tomorrow night as they might make some deals.

The Warriors have sent two future second round picks to the Nets. In return the Nets won’t get a lottery protected first round pick from the Warriors until the 2012 season instead of next year’s draft. The Warriors must like the look of next year’s NBA Draft to make a move like this one.

The Warriors were ecstatic to see Stephen Curry drop to them with the 7th pick of the NBA Draft. Curry played in 104 games in three seasons at Davidson and he averaged 25.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.1 steals per game. Curry is a outstanding shooter for anywhere on the court as he nailed 46.7% from the floor, 87.6% from the free throw line and 44.2% from three point range. Curry should be able to replace the offense that the Warriors gave up in Jamal Crawford earlier in the week. Curry is the best offensive player in this draft and he should fit in very well on the run and gun Warriors.

The Warriors drafted power forward Richard Hendrix in the 2nd round of the draft last night. Hendrix is the prototype power forward as he stands 6′9″, 255 pounds and plays a game that’s often near the basket. Hendrix played in 95 games (86 starts) at Alabama and he averaged 14.0 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.6 blocked shots per game. Hendrix also made 59% of his shots from the floor over his time at Alabama. This was a very solid pick for the Warriors.
