The Golden State Warriors have found themselves in a good position in the upcoming NBA Draft, which should be full of talent. But, raw talent only goes so far.

The Warriors are picking 11th overall in the draft and while head coach Steve Kerr doesn't have an exact idea of who the front office's targets will be, at least not any ideas that he'll share publicly, he's confident that whoever it is will be a "good player" and beyond that, Kerr has made a vow to commit to developing that player.

"That guy has to play. He's got to earn it, but we're committed to absolutely the development of our young players and trying to do this thing that allows for success down the round," Kerr said (via Warriors). 

Kerr has an interesting history in regard to playing his young rookies. The last notable young star that the Warriors had was Jonathan Kuminga before he was traded at the deadline to the Atlanta Hawks.

Kuminga was full of promise, but he saw his minutes fluctuate drastically near the end of his time in the Bay, sometimes playing 36 minutes per game and sometimes playing just 10, or even less. 

Kerr explained that Kuminga's fluctuating minutes were a result of Kerr's desire of consistency from Kuminga, but that ultimately didn't pan out before Kuminga's trade to Atlanta.

That being said, the structure of the Warriors at this time is different now and with Kerr's declaration at his press conference on the prospective new rookie, it seems that Kerr will be taking a more hands-on approach in the development of the Warriors' newest player, whomever that may be.

On top of that, the Warriors do need to look toward the future now more than ever before. With both Steph Curry and Draymond Green aging and the team relatively bereft of young stars, with Brandin Podziemski being the only true young standout at this point, it's imperative that Golden State builds out a roster for the future.

With the amount of talent that's coming into this season's draft, the likelihood of the Warriors picking up a high-impact rookie is better than usual and that is another factor that's going to play into Kerr's decision to give the new rookie some minutes. 

The Warriors have become comfortable running the same core out on the floor for years now, and there's been mountains of success that have followed that method.

But, it's becoming increasingly clear that the Warriors have a chance at creating a promising future with some new blood in the organization, and that starts with this year's draft.
