What are these crazy GSW fans talking about Dorell Wright playing GOOD DEFENSE?? He averages 1 steal a game, less than 1/2 a block a game and at 6’9 being an outside shooter, he only has 4.6 rebounds a game. Wright is a below average defensive player at the 3.
If Wright was so good, why are there all this talk about bringing Iguodala, Batum, Josh Smith or Granger aboard. It’s because the guys I just mentioned, KNOWS a little something about defense.
Most rookies coming in, are not very good defenders. MKG have been mentioned to be able to cover the 1,2 and 3 position. But unless you move to #2, GSW won’t have a shot at him.
GSW are highly unlikely to draft 4 guys this year after picking up and probably keeping 4 rookies from last year’s roster.
Also, just cutting Biedrins is not an option, this isn’t like the NFL roster where you can just easily cut guys off the roster.

I am late to the party but there is no way Terrence jones would be a bad choice, we arent looking for a guy who will lead us in scoring but a guy who can help us defensively, and thats what he bring husstle and he can rebound which we need much help with. Barnes wouldnt be bad either but not sure if he would be the best option. Perry Jones is an in betweener, not sure if he can truly play the 3 position.

Biedrins, Jefferson and DWright for Rashard Lewis. Lewis’s contract is up at the end of this season, which is better than having to wait two years until AB and RJ are off our books.

Put your picks up against other Warrior fans, “Draft Experts” and mine…

Drafting Terrance Jones is what the W’s should do if they like winning and making the playoffs. Has anyone noticed how big that kid is? Almost 250 lbs at SF/PF and can defend better than anyone else on the warriors AND hits the three! Did you not like young Ron Artest? He’s exactly like Ron except he’s not nuts. He is the perfect pick period. Perry Jones wasn’t good in college, why would he be good in the pros?

^^^^^^^^^
Perry Jones has greater upside than the one dimensional Terrance Jones. Terrance Jones was just a product of the Kentucky system. Jones wasn’t even the 3rd best player on that Kentucky team IMO.

If the Warriors take Sullinger or Terrance Jones, it will just be another sorry bad pick by this historically bad franchise.

The ONLY two players the Warriors should draft at #7 are Perry Jones III or Harrison Barnes!

Put a package together that can land A) Andre iguodala/Rudy Gay/Danny Granger. If 7+30 + Dorell + Cash + one of our 2nd rounders doesn’t net one of em (and it probly won’t) put the same package together for B) the 2nd pick (MKG). The bobcats are probably more interested in the extra picks, but 30 probably isnt gonna look too good to them, and I doubt adding a 2nd rounder sweetens the deal enough.

Elegantly simple, this would be the best way to move forward. However, I wouldn’t bank on it. We could also try to move down (Houston has picks 14 and 16, though I dont think there’s any evidence that they’re seriously interested in the 7th pick) so most likely we’ll have to just pick 7th unless we wanna make a package for a picks 4 or 5 or something. Drummond would be interesting and have time to develop behind our bigs, but I think a better move is to take sully and use our midlevel exception to bring Kwame back. That gives us a deep and solid front court.

We obviously need back court depth as well, but given how cheap he is, I’d rather take the chance and see how charles jenkins develops before we bury him on the depth chart by drafting a PG as curry insurance. with the 30th pick we can go after someone like Draymond Green or Royce White (If they’re there). I think they could both end up as starting 3′s and White could even end up runnign the point-forward as the starter we’re looking for. Regardless, I’m happy to load up the front court and take chances on combo guards and the like with our 2nd round picks, maybe even stash somebody abroad (or would that be to spurs-like for the dubs?). The starting lineup is set except for the three, where dorell will hopefully be serviceable with Jefferson behind him, and Rush as the swingman backing up Klay. I wouldn’t force it by drafting a 3 we’re not sure about at 7. I really don’t like Perry Jones’ swag, and I’m not confident any of the threes we could get would be as big a difference over dorell/jefferson/rush as a solid rotation big like sullinger would make on our non-existent depth.

The pieces are coming together, I just hope we do this right! We can be a deep team with an even talent distribution that will be attractive to a FA superstar when guys like Biedrins come off the books in a couple years. Regardless, I still think this this a playoff team that could be put over the top in the not too distant future with the addition of a big time free agent. I definitely trust myers to do the right thing.

BASG MT2 said that the Warriors don’t allow tweeting. Why would they do that for basketball??

What kind of crazy fashion statement is LeBron making with glasses…that have no glass?..I thought it was just me to see that until I heard a sports show mention it this morning.
Is that like going to the Wizard for brains?
