Last year’s RPG was 11.2……good enough for top 10 in the NBA……that’s more like D. Howard, Al Jefferson, D. West A. Stoudemire when healthy territory.

Also, his production has gone hand in hand with his increased PT. The more MPG he gets, the more he produces.

He hasn’t developed the PPG aspect of his game as quickly as some bigs………but compared to over-rated talent like Greg Oden and Andrew Bynum……Biedrins comes out ok.

Couple that with the fact that he plays a position that’s difficult to fill in the first place and he’s in his early-mid twenties.

Improvement is the way Andris establishes himself in the league……..Monta was on that path too but last year’s fiasco dropped his stock a little bit in that department.

So, “RandolphforPresident”…….you tell me this,….

Tomorrow morning when you wake up and look at yourself in the mirror, come back here and post with the answer to the following question:

How does it feel to look at a douche bag?

I think Curry is ready for the NBA. I think he’s made to score and he can do it in a variety of ways.

My only question is, “Is he a difference maker?”

Is he a Chris Paul?

Is he a Chauncey Billups?

Is he a Tony Parker?

Is he a Devin Harris?

Is he a Derron Williams?

Is he a Steve Nash?

Is he a guy who makes his team better?

If so, it will be a wonderful surprise.

If not, you’re looking at a 38 % shooter who will either shoot you out of the game or have a big game here and there……….not make his teammates better, fall into the trap of feeling like he has to be the “pressure packed scorer”……….a role that Stephen Jackson has adopted on this team.

Stephen Jackson has always felt that the weight of the world lies on his shoulders to be the leading scorer, shot taker, shot maker on this squad. That’s a pretty insecure feeling when you’re not and never have been a # 1 option, ever.

We all know Stephen Jackson is a 3rd option on a great team……….

I think Stephen Curry has # 1 option pedigree………you talk about size and his lack thererof and I talk about Allen Iverson, Steve Nash and Tony Parker.

Let’s just hold out hope and see what happens……….we’re Warrior fans for God’s Sakes….what the hell else can we do?

“Curry Learning From The Best

Golden State Warriors rookie Stephen Curry wasted no time in seeking out the best advice he could find as he prepares to make his debut as an NBA point guard after spending his college career primarily at the two. This week he’s been in New Orleans, working out with All-Star (and fellow North Carolina product) Chris Paul.

“To come in and learn from an All-Star and Olympic gold-medal winner is pretty special,” Curry told John Reid of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. “You see how hard he works, and I picked up things and competed with him one-on-one. I just feel like it’s a head start for me to start my career off right.”

“I’ve known Stephen for awhile,” Paul said. “He grew up in Charlotte, and I was down in Winston-Salem. We’ve been working out all summer, and I think he’s as prepared for his rookie season as he can be.”

That’s high praise coming from arguably the best point guard in the NBA . . .and the Warriors have to be thrilled to know the young man who is their floor leader of the future is spending time in the company of the best.”

You look at other teams striking it rich with little known players that end up becoming stars: Dirk Nowitzki (remember when everyone was laughing at Dallas when they traded for him with Milwaukee?); Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker (drafted after Jason Richardson and before Gilbert Arenas).

12 years and nothing to show for it.

It makes you wonder if the players we drafted are really that good: Monta, Andris, Jason, Troy, Mike, Gilbert, Anthony………..

It took Al Harrington and Stephen Jackson (2 cast-offs from another team)………….to make us into a playoff squad………..we couldn’t do it with our own players….

That should tell you something about our organization, ownership and management.

Same thing now,…….we can’t do it with our current players…….we need to look at a blockbuster, franchise-changing trade.
