The Warriors are rumored to have strong interest in Brandon Jennings according to several NBA teams drafting in their area, although they may decide to go in another direction if they are able to execute a trade with the Clippers for Baron Davis.

Now you know where the Warriors mind is. There always thinking about offense and a lot of scoring. Defense is not in their game plan. This is why they well continue to suck. Too much offense and no defense. Why don't they go for the Tyreke Evans? The guy has size and has the smarts for the game. He would be the perfect point forward for Nellie and his defense is not bad for a big man.

cannot argue with any point you made-
but how do you know BJ wouldn't be a decent defender?
I watched Evans play a little & he didn't strike me as a
'defender' (he's also not a forward)
At the 5-12 picks...I think all those players are roughly even
when it comes to current talent vs upside.....

Brandon Jennings would be a good fit in that system and he's probably a better ball handler then Monta Ellis. I would take Jennings, shift Monta to the two guard and go from there.

A big man would be perfect for the Warriors but there aren't any big men in the draft after Thabeet and he should be gone before the Warriors make their selection.

After the 1st 3 picks, this year's draft is a crapshoot. There are a number point guards that I expect to contribute. I don't see Jennings as any better or any worse than the rest of them. At the end of the day the Warriors still need a center.

That hair has to go!!

There's a shocker... Warriors want another PG

May 26, 2009  10:25 AM ET

I think they'll draft Curry instead just to piss off the Knicks...

This is an old picture. He has gotten rid of the Gumby slope. Thank God. That hairstyle needed to be left back in 1991. Never to be seen again.

I take it that you don't regard A. Biedrins as much of a center or one at all? How come? He is a slightly different version of Chandler and was playing pretty well, I thought, averaging dbl-dbls, along with Lee and Howard at the beginning of last season, before he was injured.

As long as Terrence Williams is available when the LAKERS pick. Then, we can get rid of Luke Walton.

Not according to every mock draft I've seen. I have yet to see him picked in the first-round.

Bring back Baron Davis? Man, these Warrior bosses are among the most clueless in major league sports. They didnt want to extend him during the only healthy season he has played. He bolts during the summer for his home team and plays yet another injury plagued season. Now they want him back? Between him, Crawford, Jackson and Magette, there arent enough shots.

Obviously, I haven't seen those. I hope not, we need him.

I agree with you on Biedrins. Hes one of the best centers in the west and hes very young. The Portland Trailblazers would love if Greg Oden is ever near as good as Biedrins is.

Well you need something. That's for sure. It may not be LOVELY much longer if Kobe's teammates continue to work part-time.

Don't know this player u refer to but what happened to Sun Yue we took at least two seasons ago? Shouldn't we be expecting something out of this guy already? Have we determined Morrison a lost cause already as well? Does LA need trained hands to help Kobe or morw novices? I know! Too many Qs, right? Just wondering out loud...

He's an athletic wing that can play point guard, especially in the triangle. He was too unselfish at Louisville where Pitino would have played him at the point if he didn't need his defensive rebounding. Getting him would make Walton & Morrison expendable, and if Ariza left for more money, lessen that loss.
