The Golden State Warriors need to act fact if they want to reopen their championship window in time to bring Steph Curry another championship and while they've reportedly been active in the trade market and have some free agent targets lined up, their best opportunity to do that may be in the draft.

Picking at 11th-overall is a great position for any team to be in, but with the amount of talent that will be available in the upcoming draft, the Warriors are in a better position than usual, which is perfect for their pressing needs. 

Due to the timeline they've imposed on themselves to get back to winning as soon as possible, they need to find players that can make an impact right away. The Warriors simply haven't afforded themselves any time to wait around for their prospective rookies to find their footing or worse yet, require a stint in the G-League.

That isn't just consensus among media either. That's the opinion within the Warriors' own locker room, as Brandin Podziemski revealed in a recent interview on 95.7 The Game. 

"As an organization, we're at a stage where we're trying to win as much as we can. With the 11th pick, you just gotta look for a guy that's ready to come in and make an impact right away," Podziemski said. 

The Warriors have been attached to a number of players that they could be interested in drafting. Names like Aday Mara, Brayden Burries and Morez Johnson Jr. But of all the names that the Warriors could be linked to that would fit the bill of impacting right away, Yaxel Lendeborg out of Michigan looks the most promising. 

The factors that play in to Lendeborg looking especially ready to make an impact have a lot to do with both his experience playing with the Wolverines during their NCAA championship season, but his experience overall. 

Lendeborg has played five college seasons, two in junior college and another three at the NCAA level, joining Michigan in his fifth year. 

That experience has both given him time to develop his game and to grow and now standing at 6'9 and 230 pounds, he has the build and experience of a player that can fit into the NBA right away.

Without the luxury of time, selecting a one-and-done college player, no matter how talented, comes with the inherent risk of their shock at the pace of the NBA without having put years in at the collegiate level. 

Lendebord has better chance of avoiding that problem and that could mean that he could be the player Golden State is looking for.
