It’s for the future. We’re not gonna win a championship anytime soon. So its best to develop and acquire young players so in 3-4 years when they are developed we will have a good squad.

because he (Mullin) gave us the chance to see not one but two players that can become new KG or CB (and i bet at least one of them will succeed).
So now we have 100 % better chances for this scenario to happen. There are many good players left in the second round to fill our needs right now (second round is our first LOL).

I don’t think you can get much better than Randolph. Here is another guy with a lot of potential (which we don’t need) who is going to a playoff bound team. The Warriors didn’t really need to do anything except grab bench players. Let’s just imagine Wright at starting PF (which is realistic)... our bench (so far) would be Al Harrington, Belinelli & Randolph. Not as impressive as it could be but w/ some cap space and a solid starting five, we can think about building the bench. I really like the possibility of trades involving either Wright or Randolph. Good pick.

what did those espn guys say about the selection for the dubz?

He Lacks 3 Point Range
Poor Defense
Turnover Prone
Possibly A Bust
Not Going To Contribute Until He’s At Least 21
(3 Years Away)

But He Look Real Bust Material…. We Can’t Go Off One Ok Year… But That Wasn’t What We Needed Anyways

I’d Take The Kid Who Played In A Tough Conference AND Was An All-American

Are NBA players allowed to take supplements? Load AR and BW full of mustletech products and viagra for 5 months should pack on about 20lbs each and the dubs are doing damage.

“It’s hard to find a guy his size who can shoot like he can and handle the ball like he can. He’s got a long way to go, but the talent is there. He’ll put on some weight."

Would be nice if he developed a shot and became a oversized Tayshaun Prince. In other words Chris Bosh. Once he develops a shot, he may be able to play the 3 but I doubt it. I see either him or Wright being traded because they are redundant. Either that or they take over for when TMNT leaves.
Nice little Wright/Randolph combo at the 4.

Whatever….. we’ll see. I can’t wait for summer league…..see what we see.

In the nba, it is alway best to draft for the best player, not need. He was the best player on the board. He is not that weak. He can dunk over anyone. He’ll gain weight anyways. I don’t knowwhy people are saying he has no ball handling. You all don’t watch college hoops. Kobe averages over 3 turnovers a game in only about 5 minutes more basketball, and so does T-mac, but they are consisted elite ball-handlers. He is lamar odon basically. He does have a jumper that’s like Kevin Garnetts. He’ll be a 3 that turns into a 4 soon.

Hendrix rules :P

Good job Dubs. Considering who was available and what we need, I’m glad we got a tall athletic guy in Randolph who wants to block shots and rebound. Same with Richard Hendrix. Defense first, rbounding second, then offense last. I like what the Dubs did. The last thing we need is another guy who Jacks(no pun intended) up 3’s all day long.

I give them a solid B considering who was available.

It was not a bad pick considering the upside.

Yes 6’10 at 200lbs is skinny but I’ll take skinny athlete with ball handling ability over 7 feet 260lbs of Kosta Koufos any day of the week.

You guys that are hating on this pick should be thankful it was not Koufus. I know some of you would be dead already had that happened.

this is a good pick for 14th, but there’s also are reasons why 13 other teams passed on this kid. He may have top talent, but he’s just not there yet. (As an aside, I like how various writers have said he has as much talent as Beasley/Rose/top five level, but how do you determine that if he hasn’t shown it?)

My main beef with this pick is that it doesn’t do anything for the Warriors right NOW. He can become something down the road, but whatever he will become, he is not someone who will come in and crash the starting rotation.

To everyone who is excited because he can be a 3 or a 4, please remember that for the moment, we have a starting 3 who is arguably the heart and soul of the team. Randolph could conceivably spell him, but not in the point forward role that Jackson plays. So Randolph plays at best what? 10-15 minutes a game this season? Again, no immediate help here.

My other issue with this pick is that it does nothing to shore up the current weaknesses of the Warriors. I was going to put up a poll right before the draft asking if the Warriors should either a) get more of what they got or b) address something they don’t have. Clearly, they went with choice a) here. While I think Hendrix may be a Paul Millsap clone that we have been coveting for a few seasons now, its interesting to note that he played 5 at Alabama, and there are questions about his lateral quickness, in that he is a center in a PF body. If we’re playing compatibility here, where we have a long quick guy at the 5, and a bulkier stronger player at the 4, I’m all for that, but Hendrix by himself is not the answer.
