With just 4 players at C+PF…not picking up Wright’s option would be quite stupid and quite typical. The ability to shift Randolph to SF at times and have Wright at PF…2 long but very mobile,versatile players really sets up a lot of things

George is this year’s version of the burned out Webber we had or the useless THud. He is…sadly….supposed to be the “beef” guy Riley was gonna get…but rather than pick any of a half dozen good PF or F/C options…Riley overpaid for a has been tweener so he could declare victory based on penny pinching a few $.

How ironic with all the fuss about Rubio a “big” PG…..as a skinny 6-4 (at most),we gave away a BIGGER PG who can actually shoot.

Where we fall short is our back-court. Our back-court players are all scorers first, then distributors and facilitators last.

CJ Watson and Stephen Jackson are the only back-court players that have any remote ability to see the floor and pass the ball.

Monta Ellis is our most efficient back-court player. He shoots the highest FG%.

Stephen Curry and Stephen Jackson will probably end up being our least efficient back-court players, mostly volume shooters. They should be around the 41-42% mark, …….I bet there will be some games where Curry and Jackson shoot less than 40 % from the field…………what do you “experts” think about that?

We don’t have a difference maker in our back-court. We don’t have a guy that can create his own shot and put the pressure on the defense in the 4th quarter.

These are how guys like Kobe and Brandon Roy make their living. They can create, take and make their own shot at any point in the game, morning, noon and night, day game, night game, in Puerto Rico or Alaska, off 3 hours of sleep, doesn’t matter, these guys can take over a game during the most critical junctures.

Unless Monta comes out this year and shoots his usual 47% from the field, and averages 22.2 ppg and 6.7 apg……….our back-court, while our most deepest positions, are still are weakest.

Having a good guard, PG or 2, makes such a big difference. Look at Paul, Bryant, Roy, Billups, Parker, Nash in his prime, Derrick Rose……….a good guard is what makes the key difference.

Maybe we already have one on the roster, who knows?

I sure am yet to see it…….Monta is talented, I love his game……..but he is not yet a 4th quarter assassin…………Stephen Curry can score, but is he a Brandon Roy or Derrick Rose type player?

We just have to wait and see because it sure looks like we are going into 2009-2010 with the guys we currently have on the roster……….no big moves or big names in store for us…….brace yourselves, Warrior fans…….please don’t expect much……..we still have 41 games to play on the road………..always a difficult task for a young, inexperienced team……prepare yourselves for 45 losses in 2009-2010……….the Western Conference is too good and too tough………………..
