I'd take Jrich over Dunleavy at SF- whiel Dunleavy provides the intangibles, we need the scoring that JR provides.
Where's the defense come from though when you have Dunleavy, Jrich, Murphy on the floor? I don't think Murphy would be as bad because he's big and bulked up and can block shots, but the faster power forwards would run right by him.
That is why TEAM defense is so important, to any team. The Warriors still have Claxton causes havoc and making it hard for the other team to set up their offense. If anyone gets beat on the perimeter you have Damp/Foyle there to save your ass. Its all about trusting your teamates to be there: help, fill, and rotate.

If you look at the opponent 3 point shooting stats against the warriors its ridiculous. It was something like 39%. That is the highest opponent 3-point field goal percentage in the league! Jrich and Dunleavy and others have to be in position to contest those shots. http://www.nba.com/statistics/sortable_tea...tml?cnf=1&prd=1

Jrich and Dunleavy and others have to be in position to contest those shots and be able to anticipate. Plus, I'm worried about the perimeter shooting power forwards that can step out and he'll be too slow to rotate over and contest them. This is why having players that are smart enough to anticipate and are fast/agile are so important. Some players are neither. http://www.nba.com/statistics/sortable_tea...tml?cnf=1&prd=1
I do not like to watch any other team than the Golden State Warriors. If I HAD to pick someone though, it would probably be the Kings since they are the closest team to the Bay Area, but of course I am supposed to hate them because they are one of our most bitter rivals. But I have to say, I love their passing. Especially when white chocolate was playing for them.
^ I used to love watching Sportscenter his rookie year; it would always be with him and Vince Carter running the show. ahh good times.
Ahh, ok. I thought I was just getting old and forgot who he played for. Who did he play for before the Kings? Or did the Kings draft him?
Yup. the Kings drafted him in teh 1999 season I think, when they started to turn things around. Got CWebb in exchange for Richmond from Washington and drafted this young gun, and made the playoffs.
Didn't J-will a.k.a. "white chocolate" diss Warrior fans and make some racist and also some un-pc remarks about fans being gay and all? He also got fined for some other road games where he verbally attacked fans in an offcolor and inappropriate way. I guess those problems he was having stopped when was traded and Hubie slapped some sense into him.
J-Will was the posterchild for ignorant white guys. He pointed a pretend rifle at some Asians at the Arena and said something to the effect of "You guys were losers in Vietnam and should be shot again." (Paraphrasing.) Well dude should have/needs to read a textbook or two because I've got news for him, the USA got their a** kicked in Vietnam. Typical coddled athlete with no academic clue.
