Klay Thompson Introduced By Golden State Warriors, Jeremy Tyler Steals The Show

It's been a whirlwind few days for Washington State's Klay Thompson as he adjusts to life as a professional following the 2011 NBA Draft. On Monday, Thompson, Jeremy Tyler and Charles Jenkins were formally introduced to the media at a press conference, taking questions from those in attendance and talking about their plans and hopes for the future. Thompson has always been known as a silent assassin, speaking softly off the court while showing little in the way of emotion on it. And when paired with Jeremy Tyler, the contrast was striking.

Here's the 14 minute video from the Warriors, which centers on Tyler, for the most part.

It is kind of funny to see the second-round pick treated as a lottery pick. Tyler is no stranger to publicity: His decision leave high school following his junior year to play overseas drew headlines and set a dangerous precedent. But his time overseas was far from a success, instead serving as a cautionary tale. He bounced around, playing in Israel and Japan while dealing with maturity issues and a lack of playing time along the way.

In that regard, it's easy to see why reporters were curious about his story and what he had to say. That said, he was the 39th pick in the draft, is shrouded in question marks and seems to be more of a flier pick that Golden State hopes will pan-out.

With the media tour almost out of the way, the three will likely have some time to workout on their own or in an unorganized fashion with their new teammates. With a lockout on the horizon, it could be a significant amount of time before the league offseason truly begins, a scenario we've seen play-out with the NFL.

Klay Thompson's Jersey Number Already Changing With Golden State Warriors

2011 NBA Draft: Klay Thompson's Formal Introduction To Golden State Warriors Media At 11 A.M.

After selecting Washington State's Klay Thompson with the 11th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors will hold an introductory press conference for him as well as their other draft picks today at 11 a.m.

With their 44th pick in last Thursday's draft, the Warriors selected Hofstra guard Charles Jenkins and also acquired center Jeremy Tyler from the Charlotte Bobcats via trade.

In a poll of nearly 3000 Warriors fans at SB Nation's Golden State of Mind, nearly 75 percent gave the team's first draft in the Mark Jackson era an A or B. However, some of the biggest questions on the minds of fans have revolved around Thompson and not just his defense.

Chief among those questions is what using a lottery pick on another scoring guard means for the fate of dynamic, yet seemingly redundant, backcourt scoring duo Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis. Lockout talk aside, does this signal a forthcoming trade of Ellis to clear room for Thompson to play? Is Thompson even ready to start? And, ok, how does drafting Thompson fit with the emphasis on defense since Jackson's hiring?

Nevertheless, the dominant sentiment seems to be that Thompson is a good fit, all questions aside.

The Warriors' press conference will be available at 11 a.m. PST on Warriors.com. For more on the Warriors, visit SB Nation's Golden State Warriors site GoldenStateofMind.com.

NBA Draft Grades 2011: Golden State Warriors Needed Defense, Not Klay Thompson

While the Golden State Warriors received high marks from ESPN's Chad Ford, SB Nation's Tom Ziller wasn't so kind when he handed out his 2011 NBA Draft grades. To be clear, he doesn't hate the Klay Thompson pick, he just shares the same concern's SB Nation Seattle's Nate Parham had before the draft. Thompson can score, but he joins a backcourt filled with scorers, but missing defense.

Ziller gave the Warriors a D+ for their draft because it didn't address the team's biggest need.

Synopsis: Thompson will add some shooting to a team that finished middle of the pack in three-point efficiency. That's cool! Unfortunately, offense is not really Golden State's problem: the team finished No. 12 in offensive efficiency ... and No. 26 on defense. Thompson is currently a minus defender, and if he's playing next to Stephen Curry in a post-Monta Ellis reality, that's an awful porous backcourt.

This wouldn't be such a big deal if the Warriors didn't have a small hole at small forward -- Dorell Wright and Reggie Williams are there -- and if Leonard and Singleton weren't staring them in the face.

Clearly, Jerry West fell in love with Thompson. At some point, the Warriors are going to have to figure out a way to trade Monta Ellis -- a feat they've been attempting for what seems like an eternity. Until then, the backcourt is packed and the hole at power forward is gaping.

Thompson didn't address a need, but that doesn't mean he won't add value. He's a solid pick and should contribute right away in some form, but Golden State may struggle to slow anyone down.

2011 NBA Draft Grades: Isaiah Thomas Solid Value, Sacramento Kings Top The Class

With the 60th, and final, pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Sacramento Kings capped a wild day by picking Washington guard Isaiah Thomas last, but not least. The Kings day began with the first trade of the day, a three-way deal that sent picks every which direction. Sacramento dumped its No. 7 pick onto the Charlotte Bobcats, the Milwaukee Bucks handed the No. 10 pick over to the Kings and the No. 19 pick went to the Bucks. But it was what Sacramento did with the draft that received praise, and the Thomas pick factored into its 2011 NBA Draft grade.

ESPN's Chad Ford gave the Kings a solid A in his 2011 NBA Draft grades (insider), noting Jimmer Fredette and Tyler Honeycutt were solid picks in the first round. And in the second round, with the final pick draft, Sacramento capped its day with a solid value pick, Ford said.

Isaiah Thomas has value as the No. 60 pick -- he's tough, he can get to the basket and he can play the point.

Though he was the last pick in the draft, Thomas has a chance to come in and compete for a roster spot. As a second round pick, he's going to have to earn a place on the tea. For the Kings, it's a low-risk move that could pay dividends down the line. The pick was a win-win.

2011 NBA Draft Grades: Klay Thompson Pick Nets Golden State Warriors Passing Mark

With the 11th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors chose Washington State wing Klay Thompson. It was no secret Jerry West fell in love with Thompson early in the process, and the Warriors were simply hoping he'd still be around when they picked at No. 11. And while Golden State had plenty of pressing needs, Thompson was seen as they best available on its board, and was a no-brainer pick for the front office. But how did the pick grade-out? Chad Ford had a few thoughts on it.

Ford handed out his grades on Friday morning and gave the Warriors a solid B. Thompson factored into the grade heavily as the Warriors' only first round pick, but all-in-all Golden State had a solid draft, he said (insider).

Analysis: Jerry West became enamored with Klay Thompson early and I can see the appeal. The Washington State guard is big, shoots the ball well and has some great basketball DNA from his father Mychal, the No. 1 pick in 1978 draft and a 12-year NBA veteran.

But there were still players like Kawhi Leonard and Alec Burks on the board at No. 11 that I think have much higher ceilings. The Warriors went safe, but safe doesn't get you an "A" grade.

I do disagree with the last paragraph. I'm not sure Burks or Leonard have higher ceilings. If anything, all three have about the same ceiling, though Leonard would fill a defensive need in Golden State that Thompson does not.

Still a B for the draft and king words for Thompson are a positive, and Golden State will probably be pleasantly surprised with what the Washington State wing brings to the table.

2011 NBA Draft Results: Isaiah Thomas' Nervous Day Ends With Jubilation

I can't imagine what Thursday was like for Isaiah Thomas. As names continued to be called at the 2011 NBA Draft, Thomas was patiently waiting, hoping to hear his own name at some point. The first round passed and, not surprisingly, Thomas was still waiting. And as the second round continued to roll on, Thomas was still waiting -- at this point probably growing more nervous with each pick.

As teams began to reach for players and grab internationals few had heard of, it looked as though Thomas was destined to go undrafted. He was going to have to earn it the hard way through the undrafted free agent process. With a lockout looming, going undrafted was an even tougher pill to swallow this year.

Finally, by the skin of his teeth, Thomas became a 2011 NBA Draft pick. With the 60th, and final, pick in the draft, the Sacramento Kings selected Thomas, ending his long wait. He was the Mr. Irrelevant of the NBA Draft, but it didn't matter. He had a chance.

Thomas heads to Sacramento where he faces an uphill battle, but he's in the league. And I'm not sure who was waiting more nervously: Thomas or fans of the Washington Huskies hoping to see the players they watched for three years hear his name called. The story had a happy ending, though, and will be a moment he looks back on and laughs at down the line.

2011 NBA Draft Results: Klay Thompson Joins Golden State Warriors' Loaded Backcourt

Washington State wing Klay Thompson was a part of the two worst kept secrets in the 2011 NBA Draft. Earlier this week, Thompson changed his plans to head to the NBA Draft at the last-minute, taking a quick detour to San Antonio for a secret workout for the Spurs. When Thompson was a no-show at the NBA Draft media day, and when no reason was given, eyebrows were lifted. The Spurs wanted him, or gave the impression they wanted him, and the secret workout was not-so-secret.

All along, though, the Golden State Warriors were biting their nails, hoping Thompson would be around. When the Sacramento Kings, Milwaukee Bucks and Charlotte Bobcats executed a three-team trade on draft day that moved the Bucks from No. 10 to No. 19, Thompson was all but assured to be the Warriors pick at No. 11. It was no secret at all who Golden State wanted, and all that was left was the waiting game.

When 10 picks flew by and Thompson was still on the board, everyone following the process knew what was coming next. David Stern stepped to the podium, announced Thompson as the 11th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft and the Washington State Cougars had their highest draft pick ever.

Thompson joins a backcourt with plenty of bodies and not a lot of room. Both Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis will be back, barring a last-minute trade, despite the Warriors efforts to unload Ellis. But with the addition of Thompson, Golden State adds another potent scorer to the mix, creating a formidable three-headed scoring machine that serves as a nice foundation. Of course, it's unknown whether any of the three will be able to play defense at a high-level, but they're certainly be able to put points up in a hurry.

Golden State got its man and head coach Mark Jackson was all smiles on draft night. Thompson will head back to California to begin his professional career with thousands of transplants from the state of Washington who have been wandering aimlessly, looking for an NBA team in tow. It was a good day for Washington State fans, and a better day for Klay Thompson.

2011 NBA Draft Results: UW Coach Lorenzo Romar 'Excited' For Isaiah Thomas, Hopeful For Matthew Bryan-Amaning, Justin Holiday

Being selected in the 2011 NBA Draft is an honor.

Being selected last is just motivation for a competitor like Washington Huskies guard Isaiah Thomas.

"He already has kind of a permanent chip on his shoulder and I’m sure the chip just got bigger," UW coach Lorenzo Romar said in a Huskies Athletics release.

SB Nation's Sactown Royalty suggests that Thomas will have a chance to compete with Pooh Jeter as the fourth guard in the Sacramento Kings' rotation.

For Thomas, who had some legitimate hope to be drafted as high as the late-first round, having to wait until the 60th pick has to be something of a disappointed, regardless of motivation potential. Nevertheless, Romar says the Kings were a team that Thomas impressed in workouts.

"He had good workouts with them, so I know they were impressed with him," Romar said. "With Tyreeke Evans, Jimmer Fredette and Pooh Jeter there…in Isaiah’s case I know he’s going to make the best of whatever situation he is in."

Mildly disappointing for the program is that neither Matthew Bryan-Amaning nor Justin Holiday were selected. Although Bryan-Amaning was a long shot, Holiday was on NBA radars but apparently his defensive ability wasn't quite persuasive enough to executives on draft night.

"Yeah. you’re pulling for them and we were anxious," Romar said. "I’m sure those guys (Justin Holiday and Matthew Bryan-Amaning) will get invited to go somewhere. I know with the pending lockout it is a different situation. But for Isaiah, he did get drafted so I’m excited for him."

2011 NBA Draft Results: Washington Huskies Forward Justin Holiday Goes Undrafted

Although the Sacramento Kings' selection of Washington Huskies guard Isaiah Thomas narrowly kept the program from being shut out in the 2011 NBA Draft tonight, UW senior forward Justin Holiday was unfortunately not selected.

The 6-foot-6 Holiday averaged 10.5 points per game, 5.2 rebounds per game, 2.1 assists per game but anyone who has watched the Pac-10 closely knows that Holiday's biggest NBA strength will be on the defensive end - he was named Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year by Netscouts Basketball and deservedly so. That defensive ability is what reportedly had him on NBA radars, according to one report.

In terms of promising signs of improvement, what stood out is his dramatically improved 3-point shooting from rarely shooting them at all in his sophomore year to shooting three per game at a 35.9 percent clip in his senior year at the University of Washington. With summer league unlikely to occur due to extended NBA labor negotiations, the opportunity to showcase his skills to teams to make a roster before whatever training camp occurs will also be gone - his road to the NBA just got a lot tougher.

Justin's brother is 2009 first round draft pick Jrue Holiday, a who played at UCLA and was a 2009 first round NBA draft pick (17th overall) by the Philadelphia 76ers.

2011 NBA Draft Results: Isaiah Thomas Selected By Sacramento Kings With Final Pick

With the 60th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, Washington Huskies junior guard Isaiah Thomas was selected by the . Thomas chose to forgo his eligibility at Washington and declare for the NBA Draft in a move that surprised many initially. Instead of choosing to test the waters, Thomas made it clear from the start that he planned to stay in the draft due to a variety of factors. His age was already that of a senior after attending prep school, his minutes at the point guard spot would be significantly diminished this coming season due to the rotation and his stock was about as high as it could be following the 2010-11 season.

Listed at 5-foot-10 by DraftExpress, Thomas led the Huskies with 16.8 points per game, 6.1 assists per game, and 3.5 rebounds per game.

Although his biggest moment from this past season was the Pac-10 title-winning shot against the Arizona Wildcats in the 2011 Pac-10 Tournament, perhaps his most significant performance to his NBA potential was the 27 points and 13 assists he scored against Cal this past January - as described in today's feature, Thomas is a better point guard than his reputation might suggest. His 213 assists as a junior, the second most in UW single-season history, trailing only Will Conroy who had 219 in 2005, but his efficiency as a distributor is well within the range of an effective NBA point guard.

At his height, the biggest question for Thomas is about his ability to defend at the NBA level. But Thomas showed he can play the point, is a surprising distributor and can knock down shots like a shooting guard. While Thomas will not receive the guaranteed contract first round picks will, he still will have a chance to prove himself, and battle for a roster spot.

After sweating it out all night, Isaiah Thomas was the 60th, and final, pick of the 2011 NBA Draft. What a crazy night, but it all turned out well for Thomas in the end.

2011 NBA Draft Results: Golden State Warriors Select Klay Thompson At No. 11

With the 11 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors selected Washington State wing Klay Thompson. Throughout the pre-draft process, Thompson has impressed in individual workouts and interviews, providing frank, honest answers about his marijuana arrest this past year, as well as impressing with his ability on the court. Before the process truly got underway, Thompson was seen as a late-first round prospect, but has seen his stock steadily rise throughout the process, leading to Thursday's selection in the NBA Draft.

Thompson's strength is clearly his pure shooting ability. As he began his career at Washington State, the 6-foot-7 wing was used mainly as a spot-up shooter,patrolling the perimeter and knocking down three-pointers. But as his career progressed, Thompson's ability to create off the dribble and distribute were markedly improved. But, clearly, his shooting ability were the biggest selling points in this draft.

His weakness, according to scouts, lies on the defensive end. Thompson's athleticism has been questioned, and left some wondering if he'd be able to defend the perimeter and some of the more agile wings in the league. And while his ball-handling has improved, he must continue to progress once he gets to the league.

Thompson the second Washington State Cougar to be selected in the first round and the highest draft pick the Cougars have produced. The Atlanta Hawks made Don Collins the 18th pick in the 1980 NBA Draft.

NBA Draft 2011: Isaiah Thomas Should Have A Place In The League As A Point Guard

University of Washington Huskies guard Isaiah Thomas has been looking forward to the 2011 NBA Draft after a standout career in the Pac-10. His junior season should have dispelled doubts about his ability to play point guard, with the only question remaining about which team is willing to put aside past perception and give the confident point guard a chance.

NBA Draft Time: Picks Start Rolling In At 4 P.M. PDT On ESPN

On the West Coast, the NBA Draft is an afternoon affair, and if you're planning to watch Klay Thompson step to the podium to shake the commissioner's hand, you might want to settle in early. Thompson is expected to be taken in the first 15 picks, commonly known as the lottery picks. But as with any draft, we have no idea exactly where he'll end up, and everything could change in a split-second.

We do know Thompson is at the NBA Draft along with a handful of other invited prospects. The NBA typically invites players viewed as lottery picks to attend, sit in the green room and take part in the media scrum before and after the draft. Thompson arrived on Wednesday, but was not around for the NBA Draft media day, reportedly because he took a detour to San Antonio.

NBA Draft coverage begins at 4 p.m., and Thompson should be off the board in the first hour. ESPN has the broadcast of the 2011 NBA Draft, and will be bringing viewers wall-to-wall analysis as well as the picks as they happen in Newark. In addition to the broadcast, you can find a live-stream at ESPN3.com.

2011 NBA Draft Order: Trade Shakes Up Order, Alters Projections For Klay Thompson

The 2011 NBA Draft is just under two hours away and picks are already shuffling around. The first trade of the day came just minutes ago as the Charlotte Bobcats, Milwaukee Bucks and Sacramento Kings combined to send picks and players every which way. The three-way trade does have an affect on Washington State's Klay Thompson, who has been widely connected to the Bucks in various 2011 NBA mock drafts. But with the Bucks out of the top-10, Thompson may slip, or may move up if the San Antonio Spurs are able to trade into the lottery, perhaps with the Toronto Raptors.

The Bobcats now have two picks in the top-10 -- No. 7 from Sacramento and their own pick, No. 9. The Kings moved back to No. 10 and may not be done dealing yet. The Bucks, on the other hand, moved all the way down to No. 19, and would appear to be out of the Klay Thompson race.

NBA Draft Rumors: San Antonio Spurs Eye Klay Thompson, Talking Trade With Kings, Raptors

The San Antonio Spurs are still attempting to trade Tony Parker ahead of the 2011 NBA Draft and Klay Thompson appears to be the reason why. According to reports, San Antonio is in talks with the Sacramento Kings and Toronto Raptors in hopes of moving up into the early part of the first round. Parker is the main trade chip, setting up what could be a blockbuster trade on draft day.

The report comes from ESPN and shows just how many teams are looking to move out of the lottery. In addition to the Raptors and Kings, who hold the No. 5 and No. 7 pick, respectively, the Milwaukee Bucks are also looking to move down from their No. 10 spot. But the focus is on the Spurs and their attempts to move-up, reportedly for Thompson.

Among a flurry of predraft trade talks around the league Wednesday, the San Antonio Spurs have discussed moving Tony Parker to either the Sacramento Kings or Toronto Raptors in exchange for their first-round pick.

The Spurs have their eye on Washington State's Klay Thompson, sources say.

Thompson is at No. 10 in the latest DraftExpress 2011 NBA mock draft, as well as Sam Amick's and Chad Ford's projections. If the Bucks were to move down, it's unknown how it'd affect Thompson, if he's even around by that pick. If the Spurs are targeting the fifth and seventh pick to take Thompson, it could be a huge day for the Washington State star.

2011 NBA Draft: Start Time, Order, TV Information And More

Thompson has shot up draft boards and mock drafts, and may find himself in the top-10 before the night is over. The other, Washington's Isaiah Thomas, could slide into the end of the first round, but will almost assuredly be taken by the middle of the second.

In addition to Thompson and Thomas, Washington's Justin Holiday should be chosen in the second round and Washington State's DeAngelo Casto has an outside shot at being picked. If the cards fall the right way, the two Washington schools could have four picks in the 2011 NBA Draft, much to the delight of fans in the state.
