    Laie , Hawaii -- The long, unruly curls are a thing of the past. Zarko Cabarkapa has a new look this season -- the "frohawk." Part afro, part Mohawk, it's got the traditional Mohawk swirl with hair on both sides.

    Cabarkapa debuted the look while partying at the Video Music Awards in August, and his teammates are already big fans. Monta Ellis called it the "Jimmy Neutron Special," and Ray Young broke down the specifics.

    The hairdo matches Cabarkapa's entertaining style of play. It's adding substance, though, that interests Warriors coach Mike Montgomery.

    "I want more consistency from him," Montgomery said after Thursday's spirited practice. "He's 6-11, and so theoretically, he should be able to rebound the ball. He's gotten stronger, so ... we need for him to be more consistent with his performance."

    Cabarkapa spent his summer trying to establish a rhythm. He was the longest-tenured NBA player to participate on the Warriors' summer-league team in July, and after drawing the ire of coach Mario Elie for lackluster play in the opener, he led the Warriors with 15 points the next game.

    He also led them with six turnovers.

    Cabarkapa knows he needs to improve his efficiency to earn his coaches' confidence, especially with the Warriors' abundance of big men in camp. During Wednesday's evening session, he was nearly automatic on jumpers off Baron Davis passes. On Thursday, he hit several more, including an impressive short-range jumper after faking out rookie Ike Diogu.

    "This is the time I have to show them that I can play," Cabarkapa said. "That they can put me in the game, and every time they put me in the game, I can do something for the team."

    According to Monta, it looks Jimmy Neutron.
