What happened: An SB Nation Reacts survey found 72% of Warriors fans want Golden State to keep the No. 11 overall pick instead of using it in a trade. The decision lands with general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. as the NBA Draft approaches next week.

Why it matters: Golden State is coming off a 37-45 season and faces pressure to add low-cost young talent around Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. Injury uncertainty around Moses Moody adds another roster variable entering the 2026-27 season.

By the numbers: 72% of surveyed Warriors fans favored keeping the No. Golden State finished 37-45 and owns its highest listed selection since taking players at Nos. 7 and 14 in 2021.

What to watch: Watch whether Golden State shops the pick before draft night or keeps it to add a lottery prospect. Dunleavy's choice will signal how aggressively the front office is balancing the current core with a longer-term reset.
