Troy is just trying too hard. He’s heard about and seen first-hand the fast-paced fun action. So he’s been eager to take part. So far, he’s been only looking for his shot. But this style of play takes some getting used to, and he’s coming off an injury. So he’s trying to get his legs under him while in a track meet.

I think Chris Wilcox fits well, and Kurt Thomas even more so, though both have obvious limitations that may not make it worthwile, depending on the deal. Wilcox is athletic and a good finisher. But he’s not the low-post defender the Warriors need. Kurt Thomas is, and he can stick the midrange jumper conistently. But can he keep up with the Warriors’ pace. He did OK in the Sonics’ tempo, but he only played big minutes, against good low-post scorers. That’s a lot of money ($8M) for a one-trick pony, which is why he’s in Seattle and not still in Phoenix.

As far as why they didn’t get Brevin Knight, he’s just as injury prone as Baron. Troy Hudson was cheaper and, some might say better.

Following up on Scott’s comment, what do you think is wrong with Troy Hudson. He seems to shoot like 1-6 with 1 assist in a typical stint. Do you think he’ll come out of it? I too am nervous seeing Baron logging 43 minutes a night…

Seattle is pretty much headed towards a 60 loss season, and I really don’t think Mbgenga or Croshere’s the answer right now. We need a legitimate big guy. I am also not so sure about Hudson as a backup point guard. Why didn’t we sign Brevin Knight during the offseason? He is a legitimate point that could actually spell Baron for 10-12 minutes. I am concerned by January that Baron is going to breakdown.
