7. Golden State — John Henson, PF North Carolina

The most Golden State Warriors pick ever, right? Think Ekpe Udoh, Brandan Wright (via draft-day trade), Anthony Randolph and others. David Lee is solid, but I think they could give in to Henson's monster range and massive potential.

State of the Warriors Part I: Seriously Advanced Offensive Player Summaries for 2012

Let's talk about stats.

The crickets are getting restless. The draft lottery is still a few weeks away, and while many Warriors fans have probably taken the summer off already, hardcore GSoMers like you are in need of some nourishment to keep you going. I'm here to satisfy a little bit of that hunger with some advanced stats, and not your run-of-the-mill TS% or USG%. I trust that if you're reading this now, you're smart and resourceful enough to look up those stats on your own. Heck, I'm sure you already have. No, even so-called "advanced stats" are not good enough for GSoM. In this post, I'm going to give a rundown of Synergy and my own metric Adjusted Four Factor +/- (A4PM), which breaks down RAPM into a player's effects on team shooting efficiency, turnover rates, rebounding, and free throw attempts.

NBA franchises spend anywhere from 50 million to 100 million on yearly salaries, plus another few million per year evaluating and developing players. For a scout or general manager (I've only been the latter), seeing a prospect for one measly four-month season of college ball increases the risk of being wrong about his potential. Remember, talent evaluation is a business in which, in the words of Jerry West, the greatest GM of all time, "Being right 51 percent of the time means you're doing well." Having an extra season to assess the potential of college players would cut down on the personnel mistakes that teams inevitably make in the draft, something that could potentially save the league tens of millions of dollars every year.

The Case for the 20-Year-Old Age Limit in the NBA

Not really to the point of his article, but you got to like that we have West on our side, eh?

2011-2012 Golden State Warriors Report Card - Some bright spots, and the same unerasable dark spot

Report-card-comments1_medium

Do you get this wide-eyed when you look at your report card?

As usual for Warriors fans, the end of the season means looking forward to the ping pong balls, enviously watching teams that are in the playoffs, and a report card!

The following is a comment I posted on this Wages of Wins post today, which I can almost guarantee will not get published there, so I'm posting it here instead.

I remember when Jeremy said the Warriors would win 50 games a couple seasons ago, because of David Lee.

http://wagesofwins.com/2010/07/14/warriors-stumble-on-50-wins/

But then some stuff happened, David Lee got hurt, so that probably was the reason they didn’t make it.

http://wagesofwins.com/2011/02/08/how-the-warriors-stumbled-instead/

So, then he said when David Lee got healthy, they’d probably win 40 or 50.

Alas, that didn’t quite work out the way Jeremy had predicted.

I think for now I’ll trust Myers who did what many of us had wanted for a long time. He shipped off Monta Ellis and he brought in a legitimate big man in Bogut. Injuries are risks that every team faces. But without taking these risks, the Warriors had very little chance of improving.

And for all the anti-tanking logic around here and elsewhere, the Warriors now have a much better chance of keeping their lottery pick than they did halfway through the season. A season that was going nowhere fast, anyway.

Statistical similarities. These are organized like the phylogenetic trees you probably remember from high school biology. I used some basic stats to compare players in this year's draft class with the final year for players in the last 6 draft classes (since 2006). Have fun searching for your favorite current or future Warrior!
