Warriors Interested In Hakkim Warrick, Andray Blatche?

Mmm... I think Mullin wil get Warrick if he gets himself a SF. Thats what I've heard. You never know what he might do...

This morning Ric Bucher said indications point to Dunleavy not re-signing. Earlier Chad Ford wrote about the warriors showing interest in Warrick. Not looking good for Dunleavy.

I watched Granger and was impressed but his previous injuries and lack of strength concern me. I wouldn't expect him to do anything his first year.

 

Why the heck Warrick, though? He's not even guaranteed to be a good one-on-one defensive stopper. I don't think Mullin will let what he's actually going to do leak out. He is hiding his real agenda and letting the media distort things. It's not like Chad Ford or these other guys have any real insight to what the Warriors will do.

 

Blatche is definitely a project, but the Warriors can afford to wait for him. Granted, Blatche is a mid to late first round pick, but what would be wrong with him if the Warriors drafted him if they had a mid firs round pick?

It's hard to gauge what kind of player he is. If he's supposed to be what a healthy Jonathan Bender should have been or a Kevin Garnett lite, I might be happy. But it says he's not a very good rebounder. If he's not a good rebounder now, we might have to wait a lot longer just to get anything out of him. I've got no game footage of this guy to see what he's like.

 

All in all, I'm so afraid the Warriors might screw up a good thing, I'd rather have our lineup of Troy Murphy and Dunleavy at the forward spots and no trades just as long as they get the job done. They don't need to fly through the roof, but just to win ball games in the way they know how.

I doubt we'll pick Warrick but when it comes draft time Mullin is blatant about who he wants. Last year it was known Biedrins was his guy. St. Jean was sneaky about his picks but not Mullin.

Warrick didn't do so well at Knicks workout.

Actually,when it comes to forwards,I don't know if any handle the ball better. Granger played some point G for N Mex,had several games of 4-5 assists. I would not project him to become a 20 point per game scorer,but he will be very good in almost every area. He has inside/outside skills,D,Rebounds well and passes well. Often you need somebody to step up and give you a boost in some area,and this guy can give that boost in quite a few areas. Seldom have I seen a guy with nice RBD/shotblock numbers and nice 3pt %/assist numbers.

 

In the Jordan Classic,Blatche had 14 boards. His average,regular season was in that area,so I have to wonder about a claim he is no rebounder,14 ain't too shabby.
I saw Warrick score around 35 one game,he created shots,he hit midrange J's. He averaged 21 and was #1 in the NCAA in free throw attempts. He drives to the basket VERY well. Carmelo is a better perimeter shooter but H Warrick is better in several areas,and is an efficient shooter/scorer not a guy you'd fault for his shot selection.
Warrick will be a good SF in the NBA,because there are some things he does very well...and yes,he can create his own shot,he is a drive/attack scorer,not a catch and shoot

 

Depends who the competition is, but I see what you're saying REREM. Anyone could be a good rebounder, I guess, they just have to have proper technique, good physical tools, good discipline, and desire to go after that ball. It's like Sagana Diop looking like a stud defensive player in high school. Really huge and athletic. Could have been the next or could be the next Shaq-like player on the glass had he started playing basketball sooner. He averaged 13.2 rebounds a game and did so against guys like Tyson Chandler. I was hoping the W's could have picked this guy up because he could dominate later once he realizes how to play some post offense. The guy sucks considering his quickness, size and strength, but most big men always take a while to develop, so you never know if he could develop into a dominant rebounder with some okay offensive game.

 

Jerome James suddenly emerged as a good big C. Diop MIGHT,but his game has not improved,and seems to have backslid. That Blatche got boards in that All-Star game,against a lot of talented players who wanted to impress,was a good sign. Bynum declaring is interesting,he's real big,yet has skills and showed some energy and smarts. He was not expected to enter and so there is no sense of where he ranks. As teams look close,he could get into the lottery. Bynum,unlike Diop,seems to understand the game and what he is supposed to do
