I wouldnt be mad at all. Only reason I leave jones is because the warriors have a bad track record with tall skinny bigs (b wright, anthony randolph…etc). Our luck is, the guys never develop before we have to dump them (or renew rookie contract)

Too much bad luck for fans to wait for a draft pick to develop. Thats why we love Klay and loved curry. They were good year one…

#7- Perry Jones, 6’11, 237, SF/PF, Baylor
#30- Jeffrey TaYlor, 6’7, 225 SG,SF, Vanderbilt

Taylor is a player the Warriors should be scouting hard right now. The Vanderbilt swingman is 6’7, 227.

Good defensive player with big time athletic skills, who has a solid offensive game with decent outside jumper that he is still developing. He can be plugged in at the 3 spot and do well and even spell Thompson at the 2 when needed.

Draft heads were right, this draft has great freshmen AND great sophomores from last year.

Seems everyone has us picking Lamb at 7. He’s talented but is a shooter and all we have is shooters. We need a slasher (preferably at the 3, but somewhere)…

Its early but I like 2 guys now that fit us, Terrance Ross – Washington and Terrance Jones – Kentucky.

I say we trade our 6 overall for Houstons #14 and #16 picks, bc there only appear to be 4 sure fire players (drummond, davis, MKG and Robinson)

And remember, Sloan felt he had been done dirty by Utah and Darrin Williams. It would have been a natural progression of Sloan to come right back as Warrior GM…AND unlike fellow 70+ year old Jerry West,Sloan couldn’t have been more in the loop with today’s NBA.
Jim Barnett? Sounds much like Phil Jackson..would have fit perfect as a temp-teacher..then move back to the booth.
How ironic I did mention Randy Bennet as the best candidate HC from college. Because as it turned out-he’s a great Aussie recruiter and now we have Bogut.
And Sloan? what better mentor for Meyers then the never tasted success Riley? Meyers doesn’t need Riley how to teach him to be nice. Or how to deal with the press and be humble. He needed somebody to teach him a system to win.

When Lacob said he had done real research on the team before he bought?..bringing back that loser coaching staff or even Fitz,showed he didnt knwo what he was getting after all. As us fans have seen the Warriors since the Beatles were big news…I think I/we had a better idea of this teams faults and must needs.

i dont understand when people say i told “owner, or manager, or GM , etc, to do something and they didnt listen. They know the people they are hiring more then you do as people and evaluator. You think Jerry sloan would just up and say OKAY ill be the warriors GM as his first job post coaching.

Warriors need to do whatever it takes to keep Malone around.

A player the Warriors should be scouting hard right now is Vanderbilt swingman 6’7, 227 pound Jeffrey Taylor.

Good defensive player with big time athletic skills, who has a solid offensive game with decent outside jumper that he is still developing. He can be plugged in at the 3 spot and do well and even spell Thompson at the 2 when needed.
