I was thinking we could possibly do a draft capsule for things we've noticed about the Warrior rookies. I think it would be kind of interesting to see what kinds of initial comments we've made about players and then see how they progress over the years. Jason Richardson's would have been pretty interesting to see how he's developed. He went from needing a lot of work to almost becoming a player with very few flaws. Any other ideas for stickies we could put at the top of the forum since the trade deadline is now over and we have more opportunites to see guys like Biedrens play? I would like to start a capsule on Biedrins, Pietrus and this next year's draft.

This guy is Mike Dunleavy all over again... The rookie year version of Mike Dunleavy mind you.
I doubt Tskita will even be on the team next year so theres really no point in that.. I like the idea tho Custodian, lets make it happen
I also like the idea. Definitly I would like to see everyones reactions to Dunleavy a year from now. Because I actually never thought J-rich would be this good at all. Now if only he could dribble better. I am very impressed with what he did with his free throw shooting that showed alot of heart . I was wrong for doubting him.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Now if only he could dribble better.</div> He reminds me of Richmond a little that way.. At the end of the game, we'd post Mitch up and inevitably he'd dribble the ball off of his foot. JR is much more athletic though, and has a decent touch. If he busts his butt I'm sure that will come. Just look at how quickly his FT% has come around. I never thought I'd say it, but he guy has "it"
yeah, the only problem J Rich has now is that he doesnt get to the line enough. hes getting to the line less than he did last year, only 4.6 times a game. that needs to go up to 6-7 range

This was one of hte good signings by Mullin that will really benefit in the long run. If he keeps on playing like has been lately, we can have two or three players to build on. Same goes with Biedrins, the kid has hardly played, but in 6 minutes at Madison Sqaure Garden, you can see the kid will be big in his career. We should have a pretty nice nucleus to build around in the future unlike some teams. If all goes well, we should have Biedrins start next year and with a post force both offensivley and defensively to help, we should make the playoffs. The bad thing is that we will kiss good-bye our beautiful 11-1 picks we have almost every year. But this also gives us a chance to get Ginobilis in the draft and not get those Joe Smiths

Everyone has that problem espically Dunleavy. Most of the time Richardson gets fouled and gets the no-calls is when the refs have swallowed their whistles typcially in the final minutes of the 4th quarter. Once we get a whole lot better as a team and Richardson establishes himself as a real star, the Warriors should be getting those calls
Jrich is probably not going to the line because he's making like greater than 50% of his shots each game and bombing 40% on 3's. Hey, if I'm Jrich and shooting that well I ain't risking further injury by getting clocked. I already got my ankle, my torn tendon in my finger, and Jamal Crawford landing on my head splitting my eyebrow open. I'll try to see if I can get some Biedrins draft capsule started. He's probably the most key figure because we're relying on him to be everything we're missing inside.

He should get to the line a lot more and will be posterizing everyone. Even Yao!
