Since their sudden success in 2014, the Warriors have gradually become the most successful team in the league, and all this is inseparable from the team's excellent draft vision. Golden State has single-handedly cultivated Curry, Klay and Green. A big core, this is the foundation of the team's success. But throughout the history of the Warriors, the draft vision has not always been very good. Focusing on this topic, the US media "FW" also selected the 6 most failed draft picks in the history of the Warriors.

6. The 2010 No. 6 pick selected Aipai Udu (missing out on George with the 10th pick)

The Warriors tried to select a big man in the 2010 draft. Therefore, Yudu was chosen, but Yudu, who averaged only 3.5 points per game in his career, was simply unable to gain a foothold in the league. He briefly played for the Warriors for one and a half seasons before being sent away. On the contrary, George, the 10th pick, grew into the best two-way player in the league.

5. Russell Cross was selected with the sixth pick in 1983 (missing Drexler with the 14th pick)

Another No. 6 pick, another center , another bad choice. Apart from the very bluffing name, Russell Cross's career was almost useless. He only played for one season and averaged 3.7 points per game. On the other hand, Drexler averaged 20.4 points per game and is one of the best scorers in league history and a top ten shooting guard in the league. There is no doubt that the Warriors missed an opportunity to select an all-time great player.

4. Selected Adonal Foyle with the eighth pick in 1997 (missing Tracy McGrady with the ninth pick)

The Warriors once again fell to the center position. In 2008, they selected Foyle with the No. 8 pick. Throughout his career, he has been a role player, averaging only 4.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game. Even though Tracy McGrady is plagued by injuries, he is still an All-Star player. It is a pity that Tracy McGrady was not able to wear the Warriors' jersey to compete.

3. Joe Smith was selected with the No. 1 pick in 1995 (missing Garnett with the fifth pick)

The Warriors, who held the No. 1 pick, did not make a wise choice and need to admit that Joe Smith is a good player with a 16-year career, averaging 10.9 points per game, and even averaged 18.7 points per game in his second season, but he is not Garnett. As one of the best power forwards in league history, Garnett averaged 17.8 points and 10 rebounds per game in his career. He was selected to the All-Star 15 times and is a true superstar.

2. In 1978, Purvis Short was selected with the fifth pick (missing Bird with the sixth pick)

No matter from which perspective, the Warriors chose Purvis- Short can't even be called a bad decision, because he had a great career, averaging 28 points per game in 1984, but the problem was, they missed Bird. Bird is an epoch-making player and one of the greatest players in league history. If the Warriors had made the right choices at the time, Bird could have brought the team a championship.

1. Todd Fowler was selected with the 11th pick in 1996 (missing Kobe Bryant with the 13th pick)

There is no doubt that the top spot belongs to Kobe Bryant who was missed. The team did not choose Bird because they valued Purvis Short's equally outstanding ability and were worried about the uncertainty of Bird's delay in joining the league. So missing out on Kobe was entirely a matter of vision. As a math wizard, Todd Fowler only had five years in his entire career, averaging 3.7 points per game, while Kobe grew step by step into one of the best players in the history of the league.
