Yeah I can see that one; he was already well rounded and polished when he came up from the D-League. But, I’m betting on both Stephen Jackson and Al Harrington stepping up their games much like Baron did after he first got here. I think Jackson and Harrington; in addition to their obvious love for the game, are both hungry and know that they’ve found a home in the Bay Area. With Baron leading the way, the league will surely be buzzing about a new Big 3 and it won’t be – Garnett, Allen, and Pierce. Overall MIP for the team I’ll give to Al Harrington, because he showed up to camp 20 lbs. lighter – he’s just ready to whoop some

keleena has all the tools you want in your 2-guard. he is somewhat similar to maggette in terms of skills and physique only keleena has a better shot.

btw, if you guys follow college bball. keleena was forced to turn pro because of his father’s problems. had he stayed for his senior year, improved on a few things, he would have been a 1st round pick, even nelson said so when w’s picked him up last season. so he didnt exactly come from nowhere.

Look what I wrote back on July 2nd:
