# Reporting

* [Givony – 6/21](https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/insider/story/_/id/37873455/2023-nba-mock-draft-latest-predictions-all-58-picks): “Warriors are said to be looking at a different strategy on draft night this year, after previously picking young, developmental-type prospects who have been difficult to fully integrate into their style of play. Rival teams have pointed to the likes of Podziemski, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Kris Murray — who bring varying degrees of skill, feel, shooting and two-way versatility, as the type of players the Warriors could target instead”
* [Vecenie – 6/21](https://theathletic.com/4623976/2023/06/21/nba-mock-draft-wembanyama-miller-henderson-hornets/): “The current thought circulating among sources is that the team may look to go a bit older and more experienced after not getting a ton of present-day value out of its selections in the last three years. Guys like [ris Murray, Jaquez and Hawkins are the names I’ve heard most. This is probably the top of Brandin Podziemski’s range too, and he is also seen as a possibility.”
* [Hollinger – 6/21](https://theathletic.com/4626572/2023/06/21/nba-mock-draft-2023-hollinger/): “The one thing I’m consistently hearing is that there is absolutely, positively, no way in hell the Warriors are taking another speculative dart-throw on a teenager here. They are in win-now mode, and they saw what Christian Braun did for Denver this spring. The two names you hear for the Warriors are Jaquez and Kris Murray. Trading the pick also seems unlikely, however, since the Warriors need cost-controlled contracts at the back end of their rotation.”
* [Slater – 6/21](https://theathletic.com/4618058/2023/06/21/warriors-nba-draft-free-agency-trades/): “Warriors do have plenty of prospects they’re looking at with the 19th pick. Most of the players they brought into the facility projected in that range are on the older (readier) side. That includes Kris Murray, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Trayce Jackson-Davis and Brandin Podziemski. But they aren’t avoiding the idea of a younger upside swing entirely. For example, they scheduled a workout with Dereck Lively II, but he backed out of it the day before. But will he fall to 19? Lively’s representatives don’t believe so. That appears to be why they canceled the workout in San Francisco. It’s difficult for them to get many prospects projected in the mid-teens because agents don’t even want the perception out there that their guy could fall to 19.”
