O?Bryant, 20, was previously assigned to the Jam on December 30 before being recalled this past Wednesday (January 17) and playing in the Warriors game in Los Angeles against the Clippers that evening. Against the Clippers, he tallied five points, one rebound, three assists and two blocks in 10 minutes of action. Overall with Golden State this season, the 7'0'' center has appeared in 13 games, averaging 1.9 points and 1.1 rebounds in 7.7 minutes per contest.</div> Source
They only took him out because Foyle could not go and we traded 4 guys, 2 of which could play center. We needed 2 warm bodies from the D league...
I thought he looked better last game vs. the Clips than he did earlier in the season in garbage time. Not much of a rebounder but looked a lot more comfortable and aware on the floor, got a few blocks and deflections and got to the line well. Still doesn't look close to being an NBA rotation player but I think Harrick and the playing time in the D League are definitely helping him.

I wonder what the Warriors are going to do with Major. Is he the 12th man?

Bummer for POB, he had that one nice pass to Major though. That was the only thing memorable about him besides a block or two.
<div class="quote_poster">AnimeFANatic Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">LOL sucks to be him.</div> He's the tallest man in Bakersfield...perhaps the richest 20 year old in town....and can make CHEESECAKE...with all that I'd be scorin' big with the local girls.
I wish we could keep him and get him into the regular rotation. I think he played hard. He is a big dude and we have no one even close to his size out there. Even Beans does not look like he taller than 6'10"
Yeah, I don't see how it could hurt. It's not like he could do that much harm in limited minutes. I have a feeling Nellie just really doesn't like his game or something, because otherwise there's no reason why he doesn't get a chance. With all the guards we have, maybe Az will get sent back down, or what will happen with Powell? Can he play?
