PrintUPDATE (dj fuzzylogic, 5:32pm): ESPN True Hoop gives us some more details about the Warriors' pick, Ekpe Udoh
UPDATE #2 (fantasy junkie, 5:36pm): ESPN's Pick by Pick Analysis: "Udoh is the biggest riser in the draft. At the beginning of the year he wasn't in our top 30. Udoh had a great year at Baylor, but he's not an elite prospect in my mind. He can block shots and defend and he's a pretty good offensive player. But he's seems pretty duplicative of both Anthony Randolph and Brandan Wright."
UPDATE #3 (dj fuzzylogic, 5:59): Marcus Thompson notes that Warriors fans are disappointed, but you already knew that from your own response screaming at the TV.
==========================
I'm actually surprised the Warriors didn't sell the pick. You know, clearing cap space- before a player even counts against the cap. I guess that's innovative (?).

This Pick Proves
that Don Nelson isn’t doing anything for the Warriors at this point. If he was making the pick, it would have been Monroe. Or he would have traded down for some athlete like Avery Bradley.
But this is Riley picking for the needs of the team. And doing it badly. Udoh is a career bench player.

I am thinking TRADE play...
I suspect Udoh gets packaged with other rostor parts to create a trade…
I dont think Udoh will be playing here this year, and suspect Riley may already have a deal lind up…well we can but hope..

If they’re going to use the pick to trade, then they should have picked Monroe.

I can see us having the guy train with us over Summer.....
The team then decides which two players ar best to keep between Wright, Randoph and Udoh…then one of them will be a trade chip in a larger deal…..
THAT is why I am saying that… I have a hunch.. ;)

The losing season was coming anyway. I haven’t seen much of this guy, but that one game against Duke, he looked feisty as hell. I question a lot of what Nelson does, but I firmly believe in his eye for talent. So I’m not that angry about it.
I half believe that if he had a more common name he may have been a bit more popular, I think it is somewhat hard to see a person named “Ekpe Udoh” as a star.
yeah, but Riley has more (and the final say)
I think it’s also safe to say Nellie would have liked a guy like Monroe more.

Warriors Luck.
Having one pick after all the sure things are off the board.
What? You guys were expecting anything different? I think too many of you bought into the Monroe smokescreen Riley and Nelson were blowing to influence the Kings. Didn’t work, but it was worth a try.
Did I say smokescreen?
I mispoke. I meant to say Riley must be smoking something, that is, if he thinks Udoh has a higher ceiling than Monroe. I hope I’m wrong, but to me, the only question is whether or not Udoh will be better than POB and worse than Diogu, or simply as worthless as either. My only hope is that Udoh’s dad is actually a secret billionaire of a scale to dwarf Larry Ellison, and this move was meant to lure him into buying the team and pouring his entire fortune into it.
by BlueInTheFace on Jun 24, 2010 5:21 PM PDT up reply actions
Another smokescreen that apparently too many Warrior fans bought...
Was that video of Udoh being pushed around by the head coach of New Orleans in that tryout. Looks to me like they filmed it and released it to see if they couldn’t get teams to pass on Udoh. Udoh looked dead tired and probably was. Someone is being played for chumps, here.
You know what.. the more I think about it the more I like it
It may not have been the pick value wise, but we definately need defense and thats what this brings. Of course I’d prefer Aminu but now I geuss we are open to try and trade Randolph for maybe a young talented Center/SF/SG and try to unload our bad contracts and start working on the future core.
I love Monroe, but its not really what we need.
Kinda looks like Kobe
Doubt he’ll ever be half the player as that though

Horrid
I really hope that this is for a trade, I see no reason to keep the Warriors undersized (nothing new surprise!) when Monroe is a better passer and could have fit right in with Curry, I can’t think this guy is perfected of AR.
We are last year's Minnesota.
Last year Steph Curry was the obvious pick but they chose three point guards in a row.
Monroe was the obvious pick, so we pick Udoh even though we have his brothers, Anthony and Brandan. Ugh…
Curry wasn’t obvious.

by Rated-R Superstar on Jun 24, 2010 5:15 PM PDT up reply actions
Not Obvious??
Curry, one of the best players in college in the nation that year and the last player available in his draft tier, slipped to us because Minnesota foolishly picked two PG’s in a row. The next two picks were Jordan Hill and Demar Rozen. Would you really have picked one of those guys over Curry?

Doesn't Udoh have a wider frame than AR and BW?
And can’t he actually play defense unline BW?
Here's hoping 2010 is the end of our drought.
Randolph and Wright rebound and block shots, and, hey, Udoh does that, too!
AND all three are skinny projects who will take years to develop into effective pros? We’ve got the whole trio!

otherwise this pick is horrible.
tough luck
having the 6 pick in a 5 deep draft. he should be solid tho. Is it just me or does Udoh like like he’s about 37 years old ?
He DOES look old.
Reminds me of other legendary old-looking guys: Lebron, Kemp, Oden.
I agree though, any of the picks outside of the top 5 all seem to be mediocre players that will have to contribute to their teams without being a headline player. Atleast Udoh won’t be too prideful to be playing for us.
I don't know what you guys are complaining about did we need more offense??
No we did not. So we got the best shot blocker available and a guy that knows how to play good defense. now do have a log jam at one position but the off season is just begining
so was Thabeet, look how that turned out.
by Elevation Sensation on Jun 24, 2010 5:22 PM PDT up reply actions
not the same
Thabeet was the best shot blocker because he was 7’ 3" Udoh knows how to play thats why he lead the big 12 in blocks at 6’9"
He Wasn't Even All Conference??
We drafted a guy sixth who was second team all Big 12. Need I say more?? LOL
Warrior genius!!
What's his name... Ike Diogu

Typical
All the draft commentators just bashed us and the only stats of ours they discussed were all negative about how many points we give up and how we play unconventionally and what not. I’m so sick of being one of the laughing stocks of the nba its really just complete bs.
by nhlogan on Jun 24, 2010 5:19 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
Until The Stooges Are Gone
Until Cohan, Nelson, Riley and Rowell are in our rear view mirrors,
we deserve to be the laughingstock of the NBA. Last year giving up over 112 points was the most in over 20 years. Until we having coaching staff focused on teaching defense, we are doomed forever. Another year of Nelly ball is another year of bad habits the next coach will have to try to get out of the players system.
I feel very sorry for the next Warrior coach. He has as much unlearning of bad habits to do, as teaching to do.
Thank god for Steph. The one shining light in all of this terrible
darkness. He and the sale.
Analysis: It’s only fitting that a troubled franchise lacking stable ownership and leadership would make the first head-scratching pick of the night. Ekpe Udoh blossomed in his lone year at Baylor because of his solid mid-range game, shot-blocking and hustle, but does the former Michigan transfer have the explosiveness or the upside to justify the No. 6 pick? If not, he’ll add to Golden State’s collection of failed frontcourt lottery picks. — Jeff Eisenberg
Translation:
The Warriors epitomize the word laughingstock.
Here's hoping 2010 is the end of our drought.
first time poster
I don’t really follow the Warriors much but I can say from following the draft process pretty closely is that Wright and Randolph are nothing like Udoh. Udoh is all about defense and shotblocking. Might have been a bit of a reach for GS but I’m of the opinion that he will be a pretty good player – not a home run at 6 though.
Its Not About Being Alike
Its about having three guys at the same position with similar skill sets. People forget that Randolph rebounds at least as well as Udoh and is a shot blocker too. The biggest difference is Udoh is more focused on defense. It just seems that Monroe was a bigger need and a better fit than Udoh.
We really don’t know what Wright brings to the table yet.
Just scrap the franchise and start over
….sigh
"I'm blessed..... Thanks, God bless" ...hey, it worked for Tim Tebow.

thats why I feel bad for him

If you have passion for the game and are a competitor then maybe the comment would have made more sense
"I'm blessed..... Thanks, God bless" ...hey, it worked for Tim Tebow.
He Deserves So Much Better
Lets hope we get an owner, truly focused on winning rings. That is what Curry deserves.
Fire Riley, the only reason why they chose Udoh over Monroe was because of a better workout, he is too fricking stupid to look beyond that. So here we go, say goodbye to either Randolph or Wright.
It's all about mindset
Wright and Randolph think of themselves as dominant offensive forces…. Udoh believes he’s a defender.
Does it matter
Monroe had game both offensively and DEFENSIVELY, that would’ve helped alot!!!!

Dexter Pittman is 300 lbs
does that make him better for our team?
Wrong
He weighs 237. Randolph recently weighed in at 240. Randolph is way taller at close to 7 feet now. So your 40 lbs is non existant
Randolph recently weighed in at 240.
source? Rumors would put him at like 235, but that seems out of the question. It’s probably more like a 15-20 lb difference. Still, it’s a far cry from the 40 that Feltbot claimed.

If Udoh is a bad pick, why would Monroe be any better?
From the little I’ve seen, Monroe is screwed to the floor. So what is he’s a good passer? Everything runs through Curry anyway. BTW, Nelson did not and is not going to have any influence on this pick.
There’s a lot more dealing in the near future for Golden State. The roster will be completely different by training camp.

There is no way we’ll ever play small ball next season. If Randolph or Wright can’t guard a bigger PF then theyi’ll put in Udoh to body up and bring in energy.

I totally get it.
I see what they’re going for. The Bulls of the late 90s ran with 4 guys who were roughly the same size give or take 1-2 inches. I mean BW=Rod…no, ok well AR=Pi….no,ok ok Udoh=…no nvm. Well At least we got a better point guard than the 95-98 bulls. Right?
My first reaction: “We’re trading Wright”.
But then he was on Chronicle LIve last night. GSW wouldn’t let him be out there representing us if he’s going to get traded the next day right?
Present feelings: Can’t wait for football in like 2 months
Fate is inexorable
Consistent Stupidity
Well the one thing you have to say about Riley, Nelson and the rest of the stooges, they are consistent. They could screw up a wet dream, just pathetic.
This is a Nelson pick all the way. He has hated Randolph from day one and now he will trade him for a bad expiring contract.
Just what we needed another tall skinny four with a limited offensive game. This guy has zero offensive game. Another Adonal Foyle offensively.
He is another stiff.

Lottery is what really killed this year's draft for GSW
You all know GSW would have selected either Johnson or Cousins.
I hate the lottery system. It should be like the NFL draft – darn it!!!
Nah
I mean the way it is sucks, but then teams would be tanking on purpose. i know some still do, but at least their position woulnd’t be guaranteed.
Nobody has a clue as to how any of these players
will turn out. All we see are highlights where a few guys who have some skill are playing against guys, most of whom have little skill. Take down all the comments written on this page and look at them in 3 years, most will be embarrassed by what was said.
Most of the experts last year predicted that Curry would be at best a marginal player, non athletic, couldn’t create his own shot, couldn’t play defense, etc. etc.
The Warriors were crucified a few years ago for drafting Randolph, now a lot of so called experts rave about Randolph’s skill set.
Everybody should just calm down, and wait to see how this works out. There is a better chance that Udoh will contribute this year than if they drafted Monroe. He has a very long wing span, and very athletic.
I feel the same way. There is not telling how a player will perform in the NBA based on expert predictions. I say it just gives us more options at the four spot and now Nellie has to play a big guy at the 4. A conventional-fast-athletic front court line-up? Maybe.
by insanenthemembrane on Jun 24, 2010 5:57 PM PDT up reply actions
Wrong Get Your Facts Straight
Curry was very highly rated last year. Not anyone but you said he was a best a marginal player. Get your facts straight.
Nothing to back your point up, zero credibility!!
Why would you say that Udoh will contribute more than Monroe? Name one thing that Udoh is better than Monroe at? Not one thing statistically that is for sure.
We Loved The Curry Pick, This Pick is Terrible
Everyone loved the Curry pick. We were all dancing in the streets. This is nothing but depression and knowing that Riley, Nelson and the rest of the stooges are doing what they do best and that is NEVER UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT TAKES TO PUT A GOOD WINNING NBA TEAM TOGETHER.
I call BS
Randolph was rated as high as #4 on some boards, but dropped for having maturity issues and raw game. We got a steal at #14 for Randolph. Nobody was really that pissed about Randolph.
We'll See
honestly, Brandan Wright’s been injured every year. and he never showed the type of defensive prowess that Udoh showed. he had a great run in the tournament. and he’s versatile, check Monty Williams’ assessment at about 6:50 in the youtube clip
I think he might be allright. better than Wright immediately…

That's an extremely low bar

what are you gonna get in return?
I’d prefer to get this guy who has the potential to do some nice things and help defend the cup, thus making up for our perimeter defense deficiency.
and the fact that he can step out and hit a jumper makes him that much more useful
THe more I think about it, I like this pick
by panhandlelegend on Jun 24, 2010 6:07 PM PDT up reply actions
So far every move they've made is clearing cap space
Because it’s obvious there’s not going to be much winning in the near future. Maybe they could have stockpiled some more expiring contracts, because like the pick or not, Udoh is not a franchise changer, especially as a lottery pick.
by BoyCow's Dingle Dangle on Jun 24, 2010 6:09 PM PDT up reply actions
no doubt that he's not
We knew this was a five player draft. We knew we got screwed lottery night.
but people on here are tripping out like the dubs made a terrible pick with where they were at. but the guy does some things really well. if anything, I think this pick indicates a future transition towards more emphasis on defense.
A Monroe pick would’ve just indicated that we were focusing on more of the same: offense, and offensive defense

Paul George
Jumped to 10!!!
If he was that good, then the W’s should have picked him instead of drafting a BWright/AR type player. Looking at his highlight reel he doesn’t look NBA fast.
We’ll see, but George would have met a need better….
Udoh versus Monroe - not a concern
Lottery failures = A HUGE CONCERN!!!
Oh, and why can’t Randolph play better, more consistantly even???
Smart Enough To Trade This Pick I Doubt It
All of you people suggesting that this pick was made for a trade, are giving these stooges way to much credit. This regime loves to build up on one position. Its in their DNA.
DID ANYONE REALLY EXPECT RILEY TO MAKE THE SMART PICK??

GOT TO CHECK OUT COACH MONTE SCHOOLING OUT PICK
You have to go to you tube and check out Monte Williams, the Hornets new coach, just schooling Udoh and making him look like a high school
fool.
Udoh= Foyle, Diogu, Fuller
that's not what I saw
I saw Udoh getting mugged, and working hard all the way through it. and he spoke fairly eloquently in the after interview.
And in Monty’s interview, he spoke respectfully of Udoh’s effort

Believe in Santa Claus Too
He got schooled and looks like another tall, skinny four with zero offensive game.
Your Kidding Right
Monroe has instincts for the game and would have made Monte look bad. Monte wouldn’t have tried to do that to Monroe. He would know Monroe was
smart enough and instinctual enough to handle it.
Some positives (as a warrior fan I recover quickly from severe depression) not in any particular order:
(1) he’s a body
(2) as a body he can take 5 fouls per game before we can take him out
(3) he can rotate at the 5 with Anthony Tolliver
(4) he’s on the cover of a video game
(5) he’s got a name that’s hard to pronounce which makes him mysterious
(6) he wears a suit
(7) he can rebound?
(8) he can block shots?
sorry ran out…
by brewitt on Jun 24, 2010 5:59 PM PDT reply actions 1 recs
Rebound
His rebounding stats were mediocre for someone his size. Nothing to suggest that he will be a big time rebounder.
He can block some shots and play some defense, but if you have no other part of your game that is good, how do you get on the floor much?
To waste a six pick on someone with such an incomplete game is crazy.
Grandpa Udoh Is Old Too
On top of all of the other horrible things about this stupid pick, he is the oldest player in the draft over 23. He is older than Randolph by two years.
Anthony Toliver is better than this kid Udoh.
Monta Ellis- 23 ppg 5 asst 5 rebs 2 stls
Get Back to Basketball, your Mopeding too much!
Great atmosphere till the pick
Lots of boos, some people liked it cause they wanted defense. Lots of people left afterwards
When I get older, I will be stronger.
They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
You people are nuts!
Udoh RULES!
He’s what we’ve all been waiting for:
a PF we can play as a super-undersized center…wait a second….

This is growing on me.
Even though I think the Warriors may be the only team Udoh would have a CHANCE at starting on (49 lineups/yr), even if he isn’t a RoY contender, or in the top 10 players of his draft class statistically: He is defensive minded. Hopefully this will rub off on some of our other players, especially the young guys who have never had a guy playing defense-first basketball. Nobody wants to be one upped by a Rookie!
I don’t see AR, Wright, and Udoh all sticking around, but it could also be fun to see Udoh and AR playing side by side swatting people in the lane.
In any case, the Warriors have plenty of roster changes if we want to be a contending team. With lots of young heart, we probably do need a Veteran Allstar or two to keep us consistent.

I guess you relate to the stooges who love to have four guys at one position and one at others. Great way to build a team. Lets have four tall skinny fours with limited offensive games. That makes perfect sense, right??

Monroe is a player, Udoh is a stiff. Enough said. Nothing to do with need. Udoh has no offensive game, average rebounder for his size. Good defender. Monroe, excellent passer, good rebounder, plays the five which we need much more than another skinny four.
Its a terrible pick period..

I don't hate Udoh
But having him gives us three average (at best) power forwards and no small forward. Warriors are surely not done trading, but not sure they’ll be able to get value. After Riley’s last trade, who would offer any value for any player on the Warriors? If I were on the other side of the deal, I’d just offer garbage and see if Riley went for it.

Yes? you disagree?
Harrington refused to play for us once he fell out with Nellie, giving us very little leverage to get anyone solid back from him. Crawford seemed decent from afar but quickly made it clear why he was consistently on losing teams (a low efficiency volume shooter who can’t pass or finish around the rim for the life of him.)
Jackson should have never gotten the extension, but Rowell gave it to him, and when he demanded a trade publicly, (he has tons of holes in his game anyway), we were forced to trade him. Maggs was a high efficiency scorer but played little defense and totally threw off our offense with his ball-hogging, head-down charges to the rim.

ITS TOO LATE TO GET NELLY IN REHAB FOR HIS LOTTERY ADDICTION.
No Trades People Wake Up, Riley & Nelly Love The Lottery!!!
I am telling you people that you give the stooges way to much credit for thinking this pick was made to trade.
The stooges love having three of the same players on their squad. It makes for certain another high lottery pick next year. THOSE HIGH LOTTERY PICKS ARE IN RILEY AND NELLY’S DNA.
They love love love love love the lottery and they do everything they
can to make sure they have a prominent seat every single year.
Your analysis is breathtaking.

But the idea that they did it to go back to the lottery is, well, completely unfounded and nonsensical. Like I’ve said before, I remain convinced that Randolph or Wright will be gone before the season starts, and Udoh is their replacement. That’s all.

…he was just talking last night about how they were looking to giving BW majority of the PF minutes in the summer league yet he goes out and drafts another PF who can probably play one side of the ball…I think the only think that seperates U’duh from Turiaf is the U’doh knows how to stay grounded with his blocks!…and he’s only a weakside shot blocker from what I’ve seen on top of it…AR please develop all your skills this summer…or better yet go workout with a long 3 like Tayshaun Prince so he can teach you the true meaning of man to man defense and being effect while doing it!

If you look at the improvements teams like the Kings and Clippers added or even Houston and Memphis, its clear to any reasonable minded person that this Warriors team will suck badly next year. Sac added Cousins and traded for Dalembert officially improving their defense and offense, Clippers added a future PG and Aminu a solid SF, Houston got one of my favorite rookie in Patterson, a perfect fit for him and Memphis added Xavier Henry a pure shooter who will excel in that system.

In retrospect, I don't hate this pick as much.
I think we had all sold ourselves on Monroe really having something, but he probably doesn’t. I mean, people were calling this a barely five player draft for a reason, right?
Aminu seems to have made more sense to me, just based on what they can do on the floor, but if the team has a trade of a big for a SF in mind already, then, well …
I’m willing to be open-minded.
The comparisons to Randolph make no sense. Everybody back then recognized him as a talented, athletic guy who somehow hadn’t managed to put it all together yet. The fear with our new acquisition is that this may be as good as he’s ever going to be.
i think everyone should take a look at the fanpost "ESPN's UDOH DOSSIER"

Read it
Doesn’t change the fact that we have two other guys who do what Udoh does and not one healthy center. Monroe just fits better and actually makes sense.
Udoh doesn’t even rebound better than Monroe, which we need desperately. Nothing in the dossier makes this pick make anymore sense.
Everytime i think of Udoh i keep thinking about that video with him working out for
the hornets? wow… he couldn’t even get position, the dude didn’t look like he showed any mean streak

u know what does make sense

Randolph is a garbage-point collector and Wright is probably never going to be an NBA starter, not JONeal at all.
LarryLegendofOracle
"Two other guys" -
- indeed, but neither of them have shown much ability to stay on the floor.
Look, if the team is convinced Udoh is the best player available, then taking him makes sense even if he is duplicative at the PF position. Prior to the draft, to be solid at the 4, we needed BOTH AR and BW to develop substantially.
Now we need two of AR, BW, and EU … which seems a little more realistic even if you think Udoh has the lowest odds of any of them of making the jump.
In theory, I like Aminu better … assuming you feel that both have the chance chance of making it as a successful pro. But if the team doesn’t think AMinu is going to make it, it’s dumb to take him because he fits a need better.
Another POB reference.

Pistons Are Elated!!
I just got off the Pistons blog and they are rejoicing that we passed up Monroe for Udoh.
They can’t believe that we could hand them Monroe and take Udoh. They
think Larry Riley is a genius for taking Udoh and leaving them Monroe.
It’s pointless to judge this pick right now. Let’s see what this guy can do before freaking out in typical fashion.

Here's the thing I can't get over...
The guy is 23 years old. How does a team in our current position pick someone that far into their development curve over a younger, high-upside, hail mary type of pick. This guy could be pretty good right away, but I would have much rather grabbed Monroe or Aminu, who at 20 and 19yo respectively still have a ton of upside and a chance at becoming something special. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t really excited about either of those guys, but I’d certainly take either one over a 23yo especially considering the fact that we will be absolutely horrible next season and should be searching for a diamond in the rough instead of a solid role player.

Why so much obsession with “upside” anyway? Just because a kid is a kid doesn’t mean he has more upside. I think fans of this generation are spoiled by super young talent coming into the league. Tim Duncan was a senior when he was drafted. Shane Battier was a junior. There are a lot of picks who were upperclassmen who turned out to be very good pros.

21 vs 23. Is that really a huge difference? Obviously, Duncan was a stud. He was also the #1 pick. But my point is that the age difference shouldn’t be the only thing that defines a players upside. Things like work ethic come and being a student of the game are a couple things to consider too.

21 vs 23 IS a big difference.
I know it’s only two years, and there are exceptions.
But one expects a 23 year old to be a lot closer to his ceiling than a 21 year old.
I don’t know, a players’ ceiling is about when they’re 29 – 30.

Not really...
That’s closer to when you can expect them to start declining. Jae has looked at a lot more data than I have on this topic, but IIRC players generally hit their prime, or ceiling around age 25 and maintain that level until 29-31 at which point they drop off. That doesn’t mean every player fits that timeline but I think it’s a good rule of thumb to play the averages and not expect players to beat the odds.

But don’t we have enough players on the team with upside? We just need a player who can do stuff that will help the team. As a fan, I don’t need another player we can fantasize about for several years and then see them end up on another team or as a complete bust.
I’m not necessarily defending the pick, but I understand why it was made.

Is it possible to have enough players on a team with upside?
If you don’t have a superstar – and we don’t – doesn’t it make the most sense to bring in guys who might be superstars and see if you can develop one, rather than grab role players?
Role players will always be get-able. You’ve got to get that superstar first.

I'm not sure how relevant it is to compare the greatest power forward of all time -
- who, by the way, would have been the first pick in the draft if he came out after his freshman year – to a run-of-the-mill mid-top-ten pick.
There are lots and lots of more reasonable comparisons.
It was a poor example. I admit.

I was using him as an example that supports your argument
not sure why you would criticize me for that
Well I can tell you one thing
There was a huge difference in the stats they put up. I’m personally having a hard time seeing how Udoh stood out.
That being said though, it was a pretty tough spot for the Dubs to be in. I almost feel that they were in a no win situation. If they were to trade up they would have had to part with AR which the fans wouldn’t want. If they didn’t trade up they would have to settle for something out of the top 5, which the fans didn’t want. Seemed like a bit of a Catch 22 if you ask me.
Please note the 11 next to my name. All others are frauds.

Well...
Younger guys generally have more upside, and we really need to swing for the fences IMO. Duncan was the consensus #1 best player available, and D’oh was a reach at #6. Very different situations.
Udoh may very well end up being a good pro. I don’t have anything against the guy but I would have rather rolled the dice on a prospect with a chance to be great-ish, even if it’s a small chance.

Johnson is younger and better IMO so I would have felt a bit better about it. ;-)

Makes Total Sense
Excellent post. The fact that he is more than two years older than Randolph who has been in the league two years is very relevant. Udoh will be nothing more than a reserve in his career. The age factor is huge as far as future
development is concerned.
I hope Jerome Randle gets drafted to the Pacers. He’s my favorite player in Cal history.

It’s weird how the Warriors are cutting costs, yet they say they want to get a good veteran small forward. Maybe they trade Monta for Granger. Probably not straight up, but I think it would make sense. It wouldn’t be cost cutting really, but Granger’s contract is a little smaller than Monta’s. The Pacers seemed interested in Harris, who isn’t much more of a point guard than Monta, so maybe they would be interested. Plus, they drafted George. The Warriors would probably have to throw in one of the PF’s though.
Hard To Imagine
I am finding it harder and harder to imagine Ellison or Magic Johnson(part of the Mastrow group), putting their name on this sorry dysfunctional mess.
It just doesn’t make sense to me, unless its the great fans filling the place in spite of the horrendous team they have to watch. Maybe there is money to be made here.
If I had that kind of money I would look around for a franchise that wouldn’t take me so many years to fix.
Monte Is Not A PG
Only the delusional Warriors would ever think of Monte as a point guard. Comparing him to Devon Harris just doesn’t work. Monte is a 6’2" tweener and the Pacers wouldn’t trade Granger for Monte in a million years.
Sorry spelling Nazi
I am so very sorry, its Monta. I stand corrected spelling nazi..

Ok, after about 2 hours of thinking about this, i do really understand Steinmetz’s article, where he discusses the fact the warriors have to change the game up to a defensive sense. Udoh was very good in the tournament, so i’ll definitely say that i have kinda SOBERED up from what was a huge disappointment to now something i can agree with. Really matters with what the warriors do with the trade market
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Yeah, you can’t argue that the Warriors addressed a huge team need: defense and rebounding along with size.

Yea, i think we're just so used to seeing athleticism and speed
Ranodlph and Wright kind of epitomized athleticism slightly
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Rebounding
He isn’t that good of a rebounder. Not as good as Monroe. He is an excellent defender though, but his rebounding stats are average for his size and what conference he played in.
Ultimately, it's hard for this pick to be "disappointing" because none of the options are exciting.
Monroe? Honestly, flip a coin.
There’s no Amare Stoudamire/Paul Pierce hanging around 4-5 picks back. (Picking those two guys as players who went inexplicably late, when it was clear they were going to be better than several guys taken ahead of them).
“Disappointing” is drafting Todd Fuller when you probably could grab Kobe and flip him into Vlade Divac. (Kobe would never have played for the Warriors). This?
Meh.
Center Over Third Skinny PF
it just seems that with both Biedrins and Turiaf questionable with all kinds of problems, wouldn’t drafting a center make more sense? Udoh is over two years older than Monroe, Randolph and Wright, as well. He is a lot closer to reaching his full upside at 23 than these guys at 20 and 21.
If Nelson is the coach, how will Udoh with very little offensive game, ever get on the court. Where in Nelson’s game plan is there a place for a defender?
Nelson won’t be the coach. Bet on it.
Secondly, honestly there’s no real difference between the game expected of a PF and a C in most offensive systems (note: Nelson’s system is the exception here). The primary difference between a C and a PF is who’s taller.
So running two “power forwards” out there isn’t necessarily a problem unless you’re having a hard time getting rebounds/defending inside. Height is generally an advantage. But, for example, Beidrins is a “center” – but his height doesn’t help him in 1-on-1 defense.
So the notion that Monroe’s height should be the trump card here doesn’t carry a lot of weight of Udoh is otherwise better.
Can i say now that the warriors should probably just add Samhan to the summer league roster?
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
I mean, it couldn't hurt
hell he might just be a D-leaguer and be like a Chris Hunter type player

Can't blame him then... would like to see him try out for the summer league though

You know
the more I look at this pick, the less I hate it. So he doesn’t bring much to the table offensively, but he provides above average defense. He seems athletic enough to guard the other teams “all star”, which is something lacking on this squad. I feel that they were addressing a need with a defensive minded player. You know this team will score, and lots, but how much will they give up? You get a guy in that blocks shots, its just another way to get around the terrible rebounding on this team. I might be crazy, or just delusional, but I think this pick is not as bad as we all think.
I doubt either of those guys will be very good at all
but we still picked the guy with the worst upside of the 3, hopefully he at least has the highest floor.
The warriors really don't need anything more OFFENSIVELY
Needs to get stronger obviously, but he’s got to get that motor going because it can’t be just so-so it has to be consistent
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
K, well, it'll be a wait and see obviously
concerning puffylove? 20/10 for Monroe, really? haha, i’ll eat crow if that happens, and with Aminu, i’ll do the same, it might be another 3 or 4 years if that ever happens for Aminu
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
if He Was A Rebounder
If the guy was a great rebounder, which we need desperately, I would lean in your direction, but he isn’t, just a shot blocker and good defensive player, does that get him on the court much if Nelly is coach?
Last years rebounding numbers
were bad, but if you plug in a healthy wright and beans, you have potentially 2 guys who can swallow the ball and improve this team. I could see them possibly putting him at 3 for defensive purposes. And from an SF you dont expect huge rebounding numbers. I dont know, I’m just trying to be positive here.

I miss the draft due to work, long hard work
and I come home to this…..FML
seriously? how do you not pick Monroe or Aminu at least?
I will always be your fan JRich. Good Luck
I don't know if this means anything, but his combine numbers athletic wise and agility wise were comparableto the top 2 SF's in the draft.
His max vert was the same as Aminus, and his lane agility was faster than Aminus, and his sprint was slightly faster than Aminus. Shooting wise, Udoh is probably better at this point.
I want to see if he can play any 3
I sure don’t think AR can. Udoh actually probably has more basketball skills than AR.
@WorldBLee
I don't know
Riley said this pick will allow them to move some people around. I’m assuming he meant position wise, so maybe he’s talking about rotating guys at center, or maybe playing AR at the 3 sometimes.
by duballers23 on Jun 24, 2010 10:07 PM PDT up reply actions
Well, i would have assumed he would move people TRADE wise, and right now at PF and C there’s a log jam, so they have to think of something, because as it stands, Wright and Randolph would split time, unless AR is at the 3, Beans and Turiaf and Gadz and Udoh (playing C and PF) it’s so complicated
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Would you draft him before Monroe though?

Top Heay
We’re top heavy. There’s got to be a trade on the horizon. I think that Toliver is better than untested rookie. And we have the other D leaguers who should get a shot. This looks like a POB draft to me.
Check Out Yahoo Assessment of Udoh!! Warriors Clueless
Check out yahoo’s evaluation of the Warriors pick. Its so right on and predictable.
One thing about the Warriors everyone in the world expects them to screw things up.
The Warriors have a well deserved reputation as the mosty clueless franchise in the NBA.
it may make sense that the ownership is clueless…. Here’s the thing, i don’t care about the draft as much as i do wanting to know what direction this team is going to go, because if they don’t decide this by the start of the season, stuff is gonna hit the fan

Whats Funny
Udoh is more than two years older than Randolph and over one year older than Wright. He is 23 and old for the draft.
We drafted Gramps
Riley Answers Why Udoh, Because He Wants To Be Here
Honestly thats what Riley said. When asked why Udoh, that was his answer. I know its incredibly rare for a player to want to come here, but do you automatically take a guy because he says he wants to be here.
I guess for a franchise that has missed the playoffs 17 out of 18 years, this is as good a reason to draft a guy as any.

Well Done Kings
The Kings are starting to look like real players in the west very soon. They have an excellent up and coming PF in Landry, an absolute stud in Evans, great potential in big man Cousins. Thats three big pieces to the puzzle. Well done.
The Warriors are stuck with their one excellent piece Steph Curry, but its a really good one.
It looks like another top five pick coming up again this year.
Will this team win 25 games this year?
Steal Of The Draft
James Anderson from Oklahoma St. at 20 will be the steal of the draft. He will be a star SG in this league.
Can Randolph Play The Three?? What Do You Think?
Riley said that they want to move people around on the roster. Does that mean trying Randolph at the three? I don’t know if Nelson would go for that.
What do you all think about Randolph playing the three
You guys are all looking at the pick wrong
That’s one less D-Leaguer that has to be brought up this year!
