The Golden State Warriors have dominated the NBA Western Conference the past four years with stellar guard play from Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. That backcourt has been complimented with size from players like Kevin Durant and Draymond Green.

After Monday’s Cap City League draft, Hannah Homes filled its roster with a similar idea in mind: find quality guards first and foremost.

That small-ball foundation was laid in the Iowa State round, as Hannah Homes snagged guards Prentiss Nixon and Terrence Lewis with its two picks.

Hannah Homes’ Iowa State picks were the most balanced in the round. While some teams owned the No. 1 and No. 12 or No. 2 and No. 11 picks, Hannah Homes had consecutive picks with No. 6 and No. 7.

The guard-heavy strategy goes against the grain compared to what was successful in last season’s Cap City League.

The two teams in the Cap City Championship last season — Doerrfeld Promotions and Sparta Waste Services — utilized size en route to the championship.

Doerrfeld Promotions featured Lewis and Iowa State forward Solomon Young. Sparta Waste Services had 6-foot-6 Marial Shayok and 6-foot-9 Cameron Lard.

While Hannah Homes does have 6-foot-6 Lewis this year, the sophomore-to-be has a strong outside game and doesn’t post up often.

Meanwhile, Lewis’ partner, Nixon, is a true guard, measuring 6-foot-1 and 180-pounds.

Nixon won’t be cleaning up a ton of rebounds, but the guard should jolt the Hannah Homes offense. Nixon was a high-volume shooter at Colorado State and averaged 16.9 points per game.

Hannah Homes failed to stock its roster with size in the Iowa State round, but it filled that need in the Drake round of the draft.

The first Bulldog picked by Hannah Homes was forward Nick McGlynn. McGlynn will be a senior at Drake, but before he anchors the post for the Bulldogs, the 6-foot-8 McGlynn will hold it down for Hannah Homes.

In his junior season, McGlynn averaged 11.8 points per game and 5.7 rebounds per game.

With the other Drake pick, Hannah Homes honed its attention back to guards, selecting Samm Jones.

Jones, 5-foot-11, is tough to gauge due to a lack of playing time. Jones played in five games last season, totaling nine minutes.

In the open rounds, Hannah Homes filled out its roster, beginning with Waukee native Jordan Stotts — a 6-foot-7 forward with an efficient offensive game.

Hannah Homes grabbed another weapon at guard with Simpson’s Conor Riordan, an Ankeny graduate. Riordan averaged 19.4 points per game at Simpson last season.

To round out its team, Hannah Homes stockpiled more guards, adding DMACC’s Shammond Ivory, Rockhurst’s Ben Lyon and Iowa Lakes Community College’s duo of Lim Chuol and Jaden Kephart.
