[...] Late last night, after the evening practice, I was talking with a source about the small forward competition. This source, who I trust and has seen every second of practice, said rookie Harrison Barnes has been special the first two practices. He went as far as saying “it’s Harrison Barnes’ job to lose.” Coming from him, it says something. Trust me.

To me I would probably start the rook at small forward and see how well it works out, but he must have a strong defensive mindset. Offense should come easier as he is a good scorer but what we need to see is how well he does in defensive assignments and his rotations, with rebounding a high priority as well. Rush was absolutely killer off the bench last year and that is a valuable commodity to have as he was great on the defensive side of the ball as well. so we’ll see but I think I’d give the first starting assignment to Barnes and go from there.

The way Rush played last year, he should be the incumbent at SF. His defense is extremely necessary, and he doesn’t need the ball in his hands to score efficiently and effectively. Barnes’ scoring ability is much more needed in the 2nd unit.

Call me crazy, but defending Klay in practice isn’t all the impressive. Klay (right now) is a mediocre SG with the skills to do big things but doesn’t do them with consistency.

Moto, I’m glad none of those players are on this team. “Serviceable NBA journeymen” do not usually help teams win championships.

I’ve. been telling each and every fan I have that my sources keep telling me Harrison was the best player in this draft and will be way better than A Davis. Just another reason to not only respect what I say, but to live your life as I guide you and help you all form an opinion even I would agree with!

EvanZ, well and good for a fan to get excited, that’s their calling anyway, but a few of those ‘really bad basketball players’ — as perceived by many others, not necessarily from your perspective — actually got coached up by D.Nelson into serviceable n.b.a. journeymen. (Tolliver, Morrow, Watson, Williams)

I’m really excited to see a Warriorsteam that isn’t going to be forced to give minutes to really bad basketball players.
