OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob and new general manager Bob Myers had to take a red-eye flight to New York earlier this week to get a last-minute look at Harrison Barnes before the NBA draft.
Barnes is coming back to the West Coast now.
The Warriors selected the North Carolina small forward with the No. 7 overall pick Thursday night, giving the franchise a potent player at a position that desperately needs depth. Myers said as soon as Portland passed on Barnes at six, “My phone almost blew up with people wanting this pick and wanting this player.”
