NBA Draft Day 2: Who should the Golden State Warriors pick at No. 54?

It’s the second day of the NBA Draft.

Teams may be satisfied with their first round selections, but they have to follow it up with additional pieces to compliment their team.

The Golden State Warriors made a splash selection grabbing Michigan’s Yaxel Lendeborg, a wing player who is seemingly ready to step in and contribute in the Bay Area.

The Warriors were plagued by injury last year and it revealed some of the team’s deficiencies. Golden State still requires more two-way wings, versatile small forwards and power forwards. They will also need to focus on adding more bigs. They lack size in the middle. And even if they bring back Kristaps Porzingis, they will need someone who can compliment his offensive game with tenacious hustle on defense.

They have Brandin Podziemski, but taking a peek at another ball handler, facilitator and shot creator could be the best bet for the Dubs.

Here’s a look at the players in the second round the Warriors should consider taking with the No. 54 pick.
