Jerry West said the Warriors need a player who can contribute immediately.

 “We don’t want a player you’re going to have to wait on for two years,” West said in a recent television interview. “We want someone who can play right away.”

West’s comments seem to suggest the Warriors won’t be drafting Andre Drummond, who is expected to take several years to develop.

“Here, we need someone who can play right away, provide something we don’t have,” West said. “But more importantly, be a valuable asset going forward.”
