OAKLANDThe Warriors held another predraft workout on Saturday, bringing in six players in advance of the NBA draft on June 28.The six players were Cincinnatis Yancy Gates, Californias Harper Kamp, LSUs Justin Hamilton, Oregons Garrett Sim, UC-Santa Barbaras Greg Somogyi and Kansas Tyshawn Taylor.Gates, a 6-foot-9 power forward, averaged 12.2 points and 8.9 rebounds per game for the Bearcats. Gates isnt much of a shot-blocker but hes a physical defender.He is probably most known for his part in a brawl against Xavier back in December, which cost him a six-game suspension. But Gates said that incident has helped him grow and mature as a person.Tayler averaged 16.9 points per game for the Jayhawks, who fell to Kentucky in the NCAA championship game. Tayler is 6-foot-3, but isnt considered a true point guard.Still, what Taylor does is defend, which could make him appealing to the Warriors.The Warriors could have as many as four picks in the draft: The No. 7 pick (or better), the No. 30 pick, the No. 36 pick and the No. 52 pick.If the Warriors fall back to No. 8 or worse, they will lose the pick to the Utah Jazz. None of Saturday's participants are expected to be an early first-round pick.
