Golden State Warriors projected to land player shooting over 40% from 3-point range to maximize young talent and championship window

Wing shooting, especially with length, is something the Golden State Warriors could use. Everyone knows the Warriors want to get shots up at a high clip from beyond the arc, and that isn’t expected to change anytime soon.

With this upcoming draft being one of the best we’ve seen in quite some time, the Warriors should have many options.

In Ricky O'Donnell’s SB Nation mock draft, he had Golden State selecting Cameron Carr at No. 16 overall, adding that his 3-point shooting should be a nice fit for the Warriors.

“Carr’s 7’2 wingspan and 41 percent three-point stroke will earn him plenty of fans in NBA front offices,” O’Donnell wrote. “He’s painfully skinny right now and I’m not sold on his ability to attack off the dribble or his defense. But his production has been outstanding, and it’s very hard to find wing shooters with this type of length,” he added.

Carr, a sophomore for Baylor, is shooting over 40% from 3-point range on 5.6 attempts per game. He’s also proven to be a decent rebounder with 5.8 per game. At six-foot-five, and as skinny as he is at 175 pounds, he has room to fill out.

If Carr adds strength and improves the rest of his game outside of his shooting, his shooting profile and wingspan give him a chance to become a valuable rotational piece in Golden State’s long-term future.
