The Warriors’ pick in the 2012 Draft wasn’t bad, as they drafted Harrison Barnes. The forward was one of the key pieces for the title NBA of Golden State in 2015 with an average per game of 9 points and 4.7 rebounds. However, going up one position and having the pick 6 would have been able to form the most lethal trio.
Portland Trail Blazers chose Damian Lillard With the 2012 Draft first-round 6 pick and at the time NBA history, for the time being, failed to unite three of the best shooters in league history: Curry, Thompson and ‘Dame Time’.
