⏩ Warriors general manager Bob Myers is in the final stages of preparing to make good use of his team’s top two choices.

Warriors general manager Bob Myers has spent much of the past few months on all aspects of the NBA draft: player evaluation, bigboard rankings, even trade talks.

Now, as the draft looms at 5 p.m. PDT Thursday, Myers and his staff are in the final stages of preparing for an event that could help determine the franchise’s trajectory.

With the seventh and 14th picks, the Warriors are poised to select twice in the same lottery for the first time since they took Jason Richardson (No. 5) and Troy Murphy (No. 14) in 2001.

Here is a detailed draftnight primer:

Will a Bradley Beal trade happen?

The Warriors enter the draft in waitandsee mode. Beal is reconsidering his future with the Wizards, and whether he decides to request a trade would affect Golden State’s approach to draft night.

The question is how long it’ll take Beal to figure out what he wants. Multiple reports have indicated that Beal could choose to stay with Washington or force his way out as soon as this week, which makes sense considering that potential trades for him likely would include draft picks.

But the longer Beal goes without requesting a trade, the less likely the Wizards are to orchestrate a deal involving him by Thursday evening. A league source told The Chronicle on Wednesday morning that the Warriors’ decisionmakers don’t expect a Beal trade — to them or anyone else — before they must make their two lottery picks.

It’s entirely possible that Beal could demand a trade weeks, even months, after the draft. That’s why the Warriors must keep a potential trade package for Beal in mind when they’re on the clock Thursday. If the Wizards deal Beal, they’ll likely go allin on a rebuild. A highupside prospect such as Jonathan Kuminga, Keon Johnson or Josh Giddey — all possibilities for the Warriors at No. 7 — would be more enticing to Washington than an older player like Davion Mitchell.

On the off chance that Golden State can pull off a trade for Beal on Thursday, it almost definitely would have to give up a slew of assets: the Nos. 7 and 14 picks, James Wiseman, Andrew Wiggins and perhaps a future firstround pick or two. The Warriors’ draft still could be affected, however, even if Washington found a different trade partner for Beal. A deal of that magnitude likely would have a domino effect, with opportunities surfacing for Golden State that can’t be predicted yet.

If Beal doesn’t become available, are there any other possible trades?

Assuming the Warriors can’t acquire Beal on Thursday, they’d be open to smaller moves. One league source reiterated this week that Golden State would be interested in packaging the Nos. 7 and 14 picks for a startingcaliber player.

It remains unclear, however, who might be available. Multiple reports have indicated that Utah could shop Joe Ingles or Bojan Bogdanovic — two knockdown shooters who’d be ideal fits in the Warriors’ system. There also has been speculation that the Warriors could pry Myles Turner away from Indiana.

If the Warriors try to move up in the draft, they’d likely eye Gonzaga guard Jalen Suggs. His court vision, defensive versatility and playmaking ability would give him a chance to be a key part of Golden State’s rotation as a rookie. But given how much the teams drafting in the top four value their picks, the Warriors would have a tough time trading into Suggs’ range.

It’s more likely that Golden State moves back a couple of spots in the draft. One intriguing potential trade partner is Memphis, which has several helpful players on rookie contracts who’d be appealing to the Warriors. ESPN analyst Zach Lowe recently floated the following possible deal on his podcast: De’Anthony Melton, Brandon Clarke and the Grizzlies’ No. 10 pick for Jordan Poole, Kevon Looney, Mychal Mulder, Damion Lee and No. 7.

That type of trade could be compelling to the Warriors, especially if they want someone like Giddey at No. 7 who’d likely be available at No. 10. Golden State general manager Bob Myers will hardly fret, however, if no trades materialize. As of Monday, he anticipated keeping both lottery picks.

Whom are the Warriors targeting at No. 7?

It’s becoming increasingly clear that, if Golden State holds onto both picks, it’ll take a highupside prospect at No. 7 and a plugandplay player at No. 14. Numerous names have been linked to the Warriors at seven, but The Chronicle’s latest intel suggests that they’ve zeroed in on four players there: Kuminga, Giddey, Connecticut guard James Bouknight and Michigan forward Franz Wagner.

The big unknown is whether Kuminga will be available. A consensus topfive pick for much of the past year, his stock has fallen in recent weeks as scouts worry that he’s more of a longterm project than initially thought. One league source said that Kuminga could slide as far as 11th.

If Kuminga is available at seven, the Warriors will face a difficult decision. His lackluster defense and shooting struggles with G League Ignite at the G League bubble indicated that he might need more time at that level in the G League. That could be hard for the Warriors to stomach, given that they want to maximize what’s left of their core’s prime.

But Kuminga’s physical gifts and scoring upside give him a legitimate chance to become an AllNBA player, which can’t necessarily be said about anyone else expected to be available at seven. A league source told The Chronicle on Wednesday afternoon that the Warriors are “leaning toward” taking Kuminga if he’s available at No. 7.

There are other possibilities Golden State likes, however. Bouknight could offer scoring off the bench. Giddey projects as a secondary ballhandler as a rookie, with a chance to become Stephen Curry’s heir apparent at point guard. Wagner is a versatile wing with many of the intangibles the Warriors want in a complementary player.

Whom are the Warriors targeting at No. 14?

Part of the reason Golden State is comfortable focusing on longterm potential at seven is because it’s confident it can get a readymade contributor at 14. According to league sources, three players the Warriors are targeting there in that range are Oregon guard Chris Duarte, Virginia forward Trey Murphy and Gonzaga forward Corey Kispert.

All three are proven shooters who spent at least a few years in college.

It’s also possible that the Warriors take someone at 14 who’d been projected to go earlier. Mitchell would be a coup if available at 14. Arkansas guard Moses Moody also would be a value pick in that range.
