Earlier in the season, Ujiri mentioned that with Lucas Nogueira, Norm Powell, Delon Wright, and Bruno Caboclo his team had plenty of young players as it is, and that he isn't interested in adding any more development projects.
Which makes his current situation, owning not one but two first round picks (including one in the lottery at no.9 overall, courtesy the New York Knicks) interesting. Here's what Ujiri had to say about his draft options:
"Looking at it, I don’t know there’s any player, and there might be, our guys...are working their butts off to figure out what kind of players there will be at nine, at 27. Do we draft a guy and hold him out for a year? Do we trade the picks? We’re happy to have these options. We’re appreciative to have these options on our table. I don’t know that our coaches are going to be pushing for two young guys on our team
