With the 6th pick in the 2010 NBA draft, the Oakland Warriors select: Ekpe Udoh, forward, Baylor.
Nothing like getting the 6th pick in a 5 player draft. The question is what to do when the consensus top players have been picked. Do you try to hit a homerun or do you try and make sure you get a guy who can help you? The Warriors obviously went with the latter. A 23 year-old coming off a season in which he averaged 13 and 9 in the Big 12 has almost no upside, but he should be able to help the Warriors in some areas of need. He can guard his man, grab some boards and hit an open jumper. Hard to get too upset with that package, even if adding a Brandon Bass-type to a 26 win team isn’t exactly a reason to celebrate.
Personally, I would have gone with an upside pick. I would have taken a skilled big man like Greg Monroe and hoped he turned into Vlade Divac or I really would have swung for the fences and taken Xavier Henry, a super-recruit out of high school who might be undervalued after strugging through a weird transition year in college (sorta like Eric Gordon.)
In the end, Udoh is the kind of player good teams have. It’s just too bad he wasn’t drafted by a good team.
