Chris Duarte had a workout with the Warriors on Friday and the Oregon guard felt like things went well during his session with the team.
“It went great,” Duarte said of his workout with Golden State (via James Crepea of The Oregonian). “I really love it, enjoying this time here.”
The Warriors own the No. 7 and No. 14 picks in the upcoming draft, though it’s appearing likely that they don’t end up keeping those selections, as the franchise is looking to add veteran talent.

Duarte has previously worked out for the Wizards, who hold the No. 15 overall pick, among other teams. In addition to Washington and Golden State, the 24-year-old has worked out for Charlotte, Oklahoma City, New Orleans, and San Antonio.
