Player predictions for the Warriors this year

Just for fun, based on last night and some thoughts during the off season:

--Baron makes the All Star team this year (no doubt) and has a better field goal percentage

-This stuff about Harrington is just hype-he is what he is.  He still isn't going to rebound or finish around the rim.  

-JAX especially, is building a connection with AB on pick and rolls

-AB takes his game to another level on Offense

-Monta struggles with being a point and competes to find minutes with Belli at the 2.  If Monta stays the same it really comes down to Belli's development as Nelson loves him.  If he looks ready Monta might not play much

-Buke comes back to earth but will remain the starter all year (a 20-25 minute type starter) due to his low key, low turnover presence.  Nellie likes his rebounding, size and defense on the first team (and potential scoring is a bonus).

-Austin Croshere will play more than anyone would have through and will basically be the first big off the bench.  Nellie likes that he understands exactly what he is asking him to do and his ability to shoot the 3.  He is also the only big on the team who can be a little nasty.

-Lasme and Kosta D league, POB on the team but never plays and Wright rarely plays but shows some flashes late in the year

Barnes, I hate to say, will regress this year  and has a hard time finding minutes.  Pietrus is the same player (dumb) and also gets fewer minutes

Agree?  Any others?

i disagree about monta
i think that he is too talented to slump this year.  with out Jrich, they envision him stepping up and scoring more points.  Wheather he plays point or off gaurd, he will play well and will play a good amount of minutes.  Bellinelli isn't as good as him.  Kelenna could start and do very good, but is a different type of player.  Also for some reason i see pietrus doing well.  he probably is the most athletic swingman we have.  I agree about matt barnes, i think he is over rated anyway.  While Jackson is suspended, either Kaz, Bellinelli, Pietrus, and Barnes should get opportunities at SF and have the chance to step up.

You a likely right about
Monta but I do think the point guard thing will not work and he will then take minutes from Belli

unless as some have
suggested Belli and Monta together are able to keep the ball moving

That is a bad combo on defense it seems
