He is big, strong athletic shooting guard who can shoot and play defense! if B Rush is the best available overall on their board….then I say pick him.

If they trade down a few spots then they can get Donte Green, Darrel Arthur, Hibbert,Kousas or R Lopez. You never maybe they can get a slick defender who is big and can shoot in B Rush. I like Hibbert because he is a presence in the middle and he can bang, grab boards, block shots and he has a decent offensive game. He can make free throws as well...and this team needs someone to rotate with Biedrins who will bang and make free throws...unlike what Biedrins does. Plus Hibbert has a long wingspan. Plus getting Hibbert would add flexibility to the Center spot and PF spots in regards to the rotation and trade opportunities. Kousas worries me....he seems soft on the defensive end. the 14th spot stinks and they should look to trade down.

It would be awsome if the warriors could somehow get Elton Brand, by trading the pick with Al, and Pietrus. I would like to see the warriors make a trade for a couple early second round picks. Maybe from Seattle, and Portland. In the second round the Warriors need to draft mature players who are ready to contribute, Joey Dorsey would be a perfect fit, and Jamont Gordon or JJ Hickinson would not be bad either. I think the Warriors are going to make a trade tomorrow night, I just hope they don't screw up and give everything away for Rasheed.

I wonder if that was really possible. I also think that if it was, it would have been lottery or top 5 protected. But then again, you're right, i had forgot about that rumor, and Miami didn't, nobody did, expect to have such an awful season. Man, if that was possible.....those are the kinds of trades that move you up the ladder. Jeff2

The only thing that POB lacks is fire and a better head on his shoulders. He's got skills. I like Speights, Love (even though he's not a shot blocker, his passing is that good,) and would be cool with a veteran big as long as we don't trade Wright. That's assuming we won't trade Monta or Dre for any reason. How the W's frontoffice plans to handle the BD situation will determine if we should take a PG if a good one is still there by any chance, or in trade up scenarios, or in trade. At least, despite all the questions and fact we missed the playoffs despite 48 wins, we have talent to work with now. Some people seem to so easily forget how putrid everything Warriors was for soooooo long. It's a process unless you're lucky like some teams and have Duncan's be there the year you happen to get hurt and tank it, winding up with the #1. The years the W's got the #1 there wasn't any Duncan there to clearly, no matter how stupid your GM is, take. And even though the fact is we did miss the playoffs, i would humbly like to point out to those bottom liners....that the Warriors shouldn't be dissed for this. It was a rare season. And again, who really wanted to get swept or maybe win one, vs the Lakers? Losing at the end of the season could wind up being how we get a player we need instead of just missing him. If the W's are not going to get lucky, you have to make all the right choices, both in the draft and with trades and signings. If BD stays healthy and we keep him, with Wright coming into his own this year only to improve more later, Monta and Dre....we could really go places soon, as some older teams will fall back, hopefully more than just a bit and for more than just a while. Sneaking into the playoffs to lose to the Lakers wasn't worth it. It would have been had we not broken the drought the year before. One more solid to great pick, like i think getting Wright will prove to be, and Monta and Dre not breaking the bank so we can pay all these guys, and of course, keeping BD and him staying healthy....we're getting there. My biggest concern right now is Memphis pushing Monta's price up to way more than we'd otherwise have to pay him. Could really mess with who else we can sign, now and down the line. I'm hoping the best player available for them is a guard they just can't pass up. Actually, “POB with more fire” would be a good player.
