I followed Dunleavy through college at Duke, then was content when the W's drafted him in the 2002 draft. I remember that #10 jersey well, it looked like a sign of hope for what was to come. I mean we had Gilbert Uranus, J-Rich, Jamison, Smurphy, Boykins all in their primes with Mike waiting on the wings. That was the 02-03 season, when Mussleman won 38 games, we were in playoff contention for the first time in years, it was all looking up. The scoring was abundant, defense was scarce, but the W's were young, then of course as we all know things came apart, Mussleman was exiled quickly, Montgomery came and went, then now we are back w/ Nellie. I just wish Mike had worked out like he was supposed to as our SF 3 point shooter with excellent passing skills and defense, oh but what could have been...

Chris Porter is my favorite one,

I thought he was going to be a good player, had a good build to him and could excite the crowd with some crazy dunks and the Fro!!! I was very disappointed when the W's traded and his career fizzled out after that run in with the law if I recall.

Ike Diogu would be my second choice he had the size and ability to help us out underneath. On paper he is the guy who kills the W's on the block that teams like Utah, San Antonio, and Dallas possess. (Brandon Bass, Paul Millsap, etc)

He just never had the work ethic nor ability to adjust to Nellie's system and is thus a bust, what a shame...

Chris Porter, dood got some hops and he could some D. Too bad his off-court trouble cost him his career.

Not Nick Van Exel but...Steve Logan.  Whatever happened with that whole situation.  Never played a day in a GS uniform.

He was also a player in college on a nice squad.  I guess he was never able to stay healthy.

was a beast at cincinnati. he came out the year after kenyon martin, right?

cincinnati was raw for a couple years. they must've been doing some illegal recruiting or something.

I agree with bol Joe Smith was the #1 overall pick and he was a huge disappointment. What makes it worse is he is really playing well these days and we could actually use his size now.

Chris Gatling had a pretty good career, but I really thought he had the potential to be better.  Same with Donyell Marshall -- in the beginning of his career, Donyell's athleticism was absolutely remarkable.  I don't mean to take anything away from either of these guys, but as a W's fan they were the two I would constantly find myself frustrated with, thinking 'you can be so much better!'

Word to Steve Logan -- I thought at the time that he would be another Arenas-type 2nd round steal.  If I remember correctly, he played overseas or possibly in the D-League, and never appeared in a Warriors game.  Too bad.

earl boykins? somebody tell me.

 i could be saying that pietrus is my favorite former warrior who never lived up to his potential. i used to think he was gonna be so good...supposedly alll athletic and shit...unfortunately hes not a former warrior

phx is being raped by the pistons... wow.. 58-90 last time i checked...

that was mine former warrior and the greatest david wooooooooooooooood!!! lol

this cat from DePaul had mad hops and when we picked him up from Phoenix I thought we were gonna be tight!!! I turned up on that streetball 1 on 1 tournament on MTV.

He's declining and Monta is on the rise. We need a BIG to compete in the west. Mississippi is the new face of the franchise. I would like to see Mullin use that money to pick up a true power forward to compliment Biedrins. And there are a few available this offseason. Who would you like to see the Warriors pursue? Brand, O'Neal, Marion, Jamison?

Nellie's prototypical PF:

-Big body who can run the floor
-Definite presence on defense
-Has to have a mid-range jumper

My pick: JERMAINE O'NEAL

I can't see him disrupting our chemistry which is very important for our team's success. O'neal, Jackson, and Ellis will lead us the ship.

My Dream Team:

PG Ellis - GP

SG Jackson - Belinelli

SF Harrington - Azubuike

PF O'Neal - Wright

C  Biedrins - Perovic

the Warriors traded David Vaughn for Jason Caffey.  Vaughn was playing so well and fitting in perfectly and then was sent off to Chicago for a mediocre Caffey.  I would also get really excited every time Carlos Rogers would set foot on the court.

anyone?

Just about every player we have ever had has looked good at some point and they pretty much all disappointed me.

#1 - Sprewell was awesome, then lost his mind and choked the damn coach.  I think if that had not happened we would have had a very different team for a few more years. Maybe a deep playoff run.

#2 - Dampier.  Never has a person so strong and tall missed so many layups. I wanted to pull my hair out every time he got the ball in the key.

#3 - Billy Owens. He didnt amount to squat and dont forget we gave up Mitch Richmond for him. Can you believe what we got in return for Mitch F'ing Richmond?!

#4 - J Rich - I am right there with previous poster who was disappointed with his handles and hoops IQ.  JRICH never got down the floor and established good position so he could get a good shot. It was either a 20 footer or a dunk with him.  He should have made a living with the style Monta is playing.

I might make JRich my #1 now that I think of it. Imagine a team where JRich played like Monta for 5 years, then here comes Monta Ellis.  We have a mature offensive threat and the fastest offensive threat in the game getting better all the time. No one would know how to play defense against us.

I need a drink now

Good call....take a look at his production on NBS.com's historical stats page.

His production went way down when he came here then shot back up when he moved to Orlando.

I remember not knowing anything about him before he came here and being agitated when he improved at Orlando.  I had no idea what a dog he was for his two years here.

I can't believe no one mentioned Bobby Sura! He had a solid '01-02 season for the Warriors, but he never really reached his potential.

His best 1/3 season was probably in '03-04 for Atlanta. Remember when he almost got 3 straight triple-doubles? Anyway, Atlanta gave him the ball and let him be free, and he really excelled for them.

Sura had good size (6'5, 200), was a top notch athlete, a gifted passer, and a solid defender. His downfalls (besides the injuries) were his poor outside shot and his tendency to try and do too much.

When my friend asked me about Sura a long time ago, I said: "He's good, but he think he's Michael Jordan. He tries to make plays that few players can make, usually with a bad result."

If he just worked on his outside shot and played a more cerebral game, his career could have turned out much nicer. I like the guy, but he never reached his full potential.

I also agree with Carlos Rogers, but you people saying Joe Smith are ridiculous. Sure, he didn't live up to your expectations of a #1 pick, but that's not his fault. His upside wasn't that high to begin with, and his career reflects that.  

Reckless is a good word for him.
