The move, which followed Anthony Edwards going No. 1 to the Timberwolves, could be remembered as the defining choice of Wednesday night. As Golden State tries to preserve its future while remaining strong Western Conference contenders right now, it needs Wiseman to produce almost immediately. A serious injury to Thompson would further increase pressure on Wiseman to deliver.
The Hornets scooped up LaMelo Ball at No. 3, perhaps surprised the guard dropped to them.
Other notable selections included Deni Avdija falling to the Wizards at No. 9, Tyrese Haliburton falling to the Kings at No. 12 and RJ Hampton falling to the Nuggets at No. 24.
