He currently leads the D-League in scoring, while ranking second in assists and minutes and also ranking fifth in steals. Bynum is the ninth GATORADE Call-UP of the 2005-06 NBA Development League season and the 60th overall since the league began play in November 2001.</div>

    Nice signing by Mullin, it sounds like we're going to rest Baron for the rest of the year and I think this guy can stick. He had a good college career and is obviously doing well in the D-League.

    Maybe he can step up and we can get rid of Fish in the offseason

    This guy could give our team the dribble penetration that we need at shooting guard. We don't have any reliable inside game to create space on the floor unless we're just giving the ball to Ike and getting out of his way or we're trying to shoot the three. Like all long shots made without any options of going inside, we need to make them or teams will just dare us to shoot. I don't think Bynum will get much playing time though. It's pretty obvious minutes will go to Ellis/Pietrus/Jrich/Dfish. That's 4 players alternating between pg/sg/sf and most coaches do not like to play more than 8 or 9 guys at a time.

    With only the future at stake,a SMART team would take a good look at Bynum who may be better than some of the guys who are in the draft.

    By 10 day contract does that imply 10 days or 10 games?

    How come they didn't just bring back Aaron Miles? I thought he was a better fit for the Warriors?

    Not sure why, maybe they saw more promise in Bynum. But I'd take either Bynum or Miles over Fisher right now.

    With this lousy shooting team and Monty's system, we need a shooting guard more than a passing guard. Miles couldn't shoot. I thought he dribbled the ball too much, too.

    And as much as I don't like Fisher at PG, he's one of the better shooters on this team so we need him. That's pathetic, but true.
