Baron Davis
The Warriors are still very much in playoff contention, though they will fade a bit with Jason Richardson out with a broken hand, and we're still uneasy about Davis' approach to the game. With Steve Francis and Stephon Marbury whiling away in New York, Baron is the last of the over-dribblers. And though his production has been sound (21.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 8.6 assists), you get the feeling he can shoot you in and out of games. Case in point: Davis has missed 26 of his last 32 three-pointers over six games, but with games against Seattle and Phoenix lined up, do you think this will give him pause before firing up another one?

I worry about the minutes Baron's getting, but love the effort he's giving. Great to see him getting his due.
