Dunleavy is our new leader!

Haha, just joking with you. However, there's some intriguing news from training camp:

One of the most impressive performances in training camp thus far took place late on Thursday, when Mike Dunleavy stepped to the free throw line. Dunleavy, as with all 18 players on the roster, must shoot 100 free throws at the end of every practice. Each player is required to pair up with a teammate and chart the other's progress in increments of 10 (10 x 10). Last season, Mike D. shot a respectable 78% from the charity stripe. On this night, however, he nailed a perfect 100%. Yes, he actually made 100 out of 100 free throws, enough to put a smile on the face of Hal Wissel, who was hired by Coach Nelson to help address the team's free throw problems. As an indication of some of the success enjoyed in camp to date, many players have shot the ball well from the line, including Troy Murphy (98% tonight), Dajuan Wagner (93% tonight), Adonal Foyle (90% tonight) and Andris Biedrins (85% tonight). Wissel indicates that most players will shoot about 10% better in practice then in a game situation. So, we'll expect to see Mike D. shoot 90% from the line this season.

Foyle shooting 90%? Biedrins shooting 85%? And tonight, Dunleavy shot 96% from the line. I sense good things to come...at least from the charity stripe. By the way, the link to the article is here.

Hey guys
I just realized I didn't link to the article, so I just did. It's straight off of the Warriors site.

the thing with DUNLEAVY is....
he shoots perfect AND plays perfect AND smells perfect in practice... ALWAYS... but come gametime, he can't make a shot, throws the ball away, and STINKS!
