I don't know what it is, but the Warriors are good at finding players in the second round, or that went undrafted. I got to watch this guy play tonight, and while the team did rather horrible, Azubuike showed that he has talent and could be a very good player for some team. He has a nice stroke that extends to the three point line, he is fast, athletic, can jump out of the rim. Is great on runouts, can play in the half court. I really thought that he was the best player for the Warriors last night against the Magic. Had a group of rebounds because of his athleticism, and hit a three, got to the line a couple of times. I look forward to seeing him in the future if he keeps it up, a very nice player to have it looks like right now. My question is, how did everyone else in the NBA miss on this Kentucky graduate?
He was actually a very good player at Kentucky, and has, like valo said, been playing very well for the Warriors. Great athlete, solid offensive player, good defender. Fits in pretty well with the Warriors.

Kelenna Azubuike has seemingly came out of nowhere from the Development League and has started a few games and most of the time done very well for the Warriors. I think one game he had between 25 to 30 points.
I was really impressed with Barnes from what I've seen him. He's turning into the Ryan Gomes of the Golden St. Warriors.
I have know clue how Azubuike went undrafted. He shoulda at least gotten drafted late 2nd round. I think playing in the D-League really helped him, otherwise I don't think he would be doing nearly as well.
I have high hopes for Kelenna. I think the D-League helped him also. Nelson will be a great coach for him if he stays around with the Warriors. The reason im pulling for him so much is because I've had opportunities to be around Kelenna. He went to a high school near where I do. A private Christian school. I was in middle school when he was in Hgh School though. But some times he would come to our gym and give us tips and stuff. He gave great advice. Stuff I'll remember for the rest of him life. Kelenna is a great person outside of basketball. A really caring person. Idk if you guys know, but he didnt do his senior year in college because he need the money to help his dad(Who went to jail) out and support his family. Im really glad Kelenna has had the chance to play in the NBA. I hope he has a long career and reaches his full potential
