If you haven’t been to ESPN’s “Lottery Mock Draft” don’t worry about it. I’ll save you the trip. If you run 100 mock drafts 100 of them will come up with Warriors grabbing freshmen center Kosta Koufos out of Ohio. While he is a good center, don’t be fooled by the pedigree. This is no Greg Oden.

The Warriors are in the lottery, and the odds of them taking a top 5 pick are very similar to the odds of me filling a Dixie cup with urine when I am standing across the room. (Note: I haven’t actually tried this.) And unless something ridiculous happens and DeAndre Jordan falls, the only 7 footer the Golden State will touch will be this guy, which scares me.

I will admit it though I am scared only out of my own prejudices. Kosta Koufus is Greek, and he played his high school basketball here in the states. But he eerily reminds me of Darko Milicic and Zarko Cabarkapa and all of those other 7 foot busts, who came out the former Soviet Block.  They hop on a plan realize that the guys over here are fast and they jump high and leave 2 million US dollars richer. (Forgive me Arvydas Sabonis.) And with guys out there like Tyson “I average 7 points a Game in the Playoffs” Chandler out there making 10.5 million a year there is good reason to be scared. God knows what the Warriors could have done if they got the 10 mil a year they were paying Adonal Foyle back.

All I am saying is the Warriors play and up and down game, where the players tend to zigzag down the court like 12 year-olds who haven’t taken enough Ritalin. And they also need to pick up a guy with a hefty chip on his shoulder. Cause let’s face it the Warriors wouldn’t be anywhere without that gun-toting maniac who plays his heart out every night. They need a guy who will play with chest-thumping enthusiasm. And I don’t see Kosta Koufos as being either of these guys. He can hit the three and did put up some gaudy numbers. He’s a disciplined and skilled player.

However with the way Don Nelson plays rookies (AKA not at all), whoever the Warriors draft this year won’t make a difference. He’ll spend a year riding the pine. And with the out of nowhere pick of Marco Belinelli, who knows what’s going to happen. I’m excited.
