So who is Monta going to get traded for?

Monta for Derrick Williams - PLease let it be!!!!
It is my only hope, 2 years in a row we do this crap…
either that or for one of the bigs plus talent
I hate this pick
We could of had Burks (who just went to the jazz) or Kawhi Leonard!

Agreed. Any kind of Larry Riley headed war room should be questioned.

yeah! let's go Klay!!
would have much rather drafted BPA, or a position of need, but I’m hoping the FO knows what they’re doing.
Whatever, he’s a Warriors now, let’s welcome him!!

Again, still don't get this.
Exactly what has Riley screwed up so bad? He picked Curry and Udoh. Only Udoh over Monroe is the somewhat debatable move.
Who the hell are you to say that about Larry? Easy for you to say blogging all the time, but he is very good at his job and the new ownership knows he is. These new owners are very, very smart guys and would’ve canned Larry if they think he was competent and able to run the team this year. I’ll trust their judgement over your invalid opinion any day.

Dude you’re a hater. Everything you write sounds like you belong in LA. Go find a new team to dis. You wanted Burks?! We already have Monta who needs the ball a lot. Thompson is going to be great for the Dubs. Kawhi would’ve been a great pick, for a different team, not our team.

damn leonard dropping WAYYY Down.
what if he gets selected at 16, and the warriors trade 11 and monta for iggy and 16…hmmm
curry & iggy TEAM USA buddies.
Honestly...
Ive been attending SDSU the past 4 years and have been watching Leonard closely…
He was great this past year, but he makes so many mistakes, takes so many bad shots, and needs to add a lot of stength…. I don’t have much confidence in his NBA career.

well with riley saying leonard was never an option
i doubt we’ll trade for him. but i still think a trade will happen later today.

If ownership talked with Law at all I wouldn’t be surprised if he is in camp this season. He is actually a very engaging, smart player that coaches and scouts covet. Plus, he is not as bad of a player as everyone on this blog says he is, a fifth guard with a pass first mentality and leadership qualities is nothing to scoff at.

acie law is awful
i’m glad we have jenkins
i especially like how you think that someone who you call a fifth guard is good
if he was the fifth guard on a 36 win team (26 wins the year before), how is that a good player?
Maybe Thompson will be part of a trade package?
Maybe to help offload Biedrins?

How does that make sense? It’s “not a bad pick,” but it didn’t make the team better?
Because
getting bigger requires talent. If not, we could easily trade for Darco. He was the BPA in my books. We have the chips to acquire a TALENTED big.

They DID get bigger!
Just not at the 4 or 5 as you’re assuming. The W’s got bigger at the 2 in a very good way.
People compare Klay to Reggie Williams, and honestly, when it comes to offense it’s easy to see why when you watch him roll off screens and square up to shoot.
If Klay is 80% of the player Reggie was, wouldn’t he be a STEAL at 11??!?!?!
I think many of the risks taken in front of the W’s are going to severely bust, and I’m not seeing anybody after 11 that seems like a sure fire player.
I think Klay would have been a smart pick all the way up to 6.
If Klay is 80% of the player Reggie was, wouldn’t he be a STEAL at 11??!?!?!
why wouldn’t we just keep reggie?

and if he's talking about miller
then LOL
I know, I was just trying to make sense of it. Otherwise, why hope for 80% of a player you already have?
This team
never fails to let me down on draft day.
not even close
Kapono sits in a spot and shoots, Klay clearly flows in an offense and can pass as well (5apg from the 2 spot). More Mullin/Reggie Miller like…
Larry Riley needs to be following Robbie Rowell on the way out

I need to learn this
I knew they were gonna take this guy, they did it, and I’m still angry.
I don't know why we need to trade Ellis just because we drafted Thompson
Thompson is a rookie, and should not have full time playing time this year. He should come off the bench, earning his minutes as time goes. As Thompson develops, this gives the warriors options….
They can shift Ellis to point to give Curry rest, and bring Thompson off the bench. Ellis can sit and Thompson can play the 2,…

Ellis leaving does not mean KT will start
If they trade Ellis for Iggy for example..Iggy will start, not KT

Does not mean high IQ. Since when throwing the ball away and fouling everyone means a player has high IQ?

Well one’s thing for sure: this front office does not smokescreen, period. Take everything they say for face value from this point on.
my opinion on klay is that he'll be a good option for a backup-guard.
hoping monta-iggy trade happens, klay is a good option for iggy backup. makes up for scoring defieceny if therebe.

The Morris twins, Singleton, and Leonard were all still on the board and were better fits defensively. This can only mean we are moving Monta.

Eh?
Monroe is already better at everything except shot-blocking than Udoh, and he’s three years younger. Not that PER is the be-all, end-all, but Monroe = 18.04, Udoh = 9.73,
monroe
is not what we need. We already have a pf who can score we needed someone to protect the basket!
When you suck like the Warriors, you need talent. Monroe has talent. He showed us he can rebound, pass (not well yet), and score efficiently. Give him a couple of years for his defense to kick in (he was drafted at 20 as opposed to 23 year old Udoh).
Monroe is not a defender, Udoh is.....simple

Seriously, watching tape and his workouts, how is this guy any worse than Evan Turner? And he went #2 last year.
This guy has the bloodlines, so he knows how he can get better…and he fits our need perfectly…we didn’t need another forward…a bigger 2 guard that can spell Monta, I don’t know who has a prettier shot, Curry or Thompson. AND he can defend at the 2.
Great pick for the Warriors, we’re going to be loving him like we love Curry now.
Can’t believe how many people are whining for the value at the #11 pick…every other guy after him is going to be a good rotation player – Klay has a chance to become a starter. You don’t trade down when none of the picks are sure bets…@ 11 the Warriors got who they wanted, and filled a hole

loved Klay. Everyone knows we needed more size in the backcourt and there was no legitimate frontcourt player worthy of the 11th pick. This is not a great draft we got the best available.

I like Klay Thompson
I just don’t know how he fits on this team. Tim Kawakami seems to think that the Dubs are ok with keeping these 3 guys on the roster this year. While that may be an OK idea to let Klay Thompson develop that doesn’t solve our biggest problems: our frontcourt and defense.
It’s not so much that this was a bad player for our team, it’s just that we didn’t address any holes. A trade NEEDS to happen. Not because of a “crowded backcourt” but so that we don’t suck at everything else.

Great Pick
Klay Thompson will be the most efficient scorer in this draft.
He will play sometimes at the 2, sometimes at the 3 (as the roster currently stands; speculation about roles ASSUMING monta is traded is premature) in a small lineup.
He’s a GREAT mid-range shooter, hard worker, good attitude. this was one of the two good options (I gotta say that I was surprised Leonard was still available, and would’ve been tempted), and at least they didn’t draft one of the Morris twins, who are both on their way to unspectacular careers as backup bigmen.
Glad that Thompson was here, and we didn’t have to settle on Burks. Love this pick, and now hoping they target a solid backup big like Jordan Williams or Keith Benson in the second round….

Has nothing to do with Clay Thompson. Has to do with what this team needs, by priority.
Fact is, Curry is a converted 2. Ellis is a 2. Reggie is a 2/3. We do not have a “pure” point guard! We need to get a center. We need more depth at the power forward. Unless this pick is part of a trade strategy, I do not get it.
Forgive my negativity all, but I've grown tired of sitting at the bottom of our division

Not most. Looking at the top 10 PF in PER, Leonard could probably guard West, Milsap, and possibly Love, but would be pretty severely undersized against all the rest (Nowitzki, Gasol, Stoudemire, Randolph, Griffin, Aldridge, and Garnett).
Dog, seriously..think outside the box...make trades, grab Biyombo...anyone able to play defense
A big body…someone other than a guard

Cool...
…and thanks for info. And I know what you mean about not trusting the experts. Still, some of the statistical analyses I’ve read really give me concern. He’s a below average 2-pt shooter and rebounder, which means he’s really going to have to rain from 3 to justify playing time.
Regardless, I hope you’re right!
I think that
defensive stats in regards to the 2-3 is misleading when it comes to college. He was Washington State’s only real offensive threat. It could have been a consorted effort to save his fouls and energy for the offensive side of the ball. That is just a hypothetical as I have nothing to back that up with.
Look, I would have loved to got a 4-5 with premier defensive skills; I just didn’t see anyone available at 11 that fits that mold. There has to be something in the works because the Warriors cannot go into the 2011 season with a combination of Wright, Monta, Thompson and Williams at the 2-3

Kawhi is going to be another Spurs project, but I doubt they can make a Bowen out of him. They really needed his defense at 3, but he could easily be traded down the road for talent just like Hill.

If that turns out to be true...
I’ll be forced to admit that this was a good pick. Today is the first time I’ve heard it though. I’ve heard things like “good BB IQ,” “good team defender” but also “lacks elite lateral quickness.”
Well put Evanz..how can these guys not see what the team truly needs?

was as a smokescreen. way to go FO.
who said this?
Nobody credible. Maybe something on Bleacher report
The ESPN draft announcers
C'mon Beane! Close off the bottom deck and reopen the top!
there are no drafting profiles which state this & Mark Jackson is a friend on these on air guys.
I’m gonna go w/ the numerous reports from neutral sources over a broadcasting crew where one of them was working side by side with Mark Jackson only a couple weeks ago
I think we are the only team that uses the draft to get worse
Then panic and trade for vets to get mediocre again so we can pick late lottery and repeat the cycle.
Ok, there's one good thing that came out of this
we’re gonna see a 2-on-2 between the Curry’s and the Thompsons

Dear Warrior fans - relax.
Kawhi slipped for a reason! Notice that other teams passed on him too.
I would have liked Kawhli but Klay isn’t bad either. Not a huge fan of Reggie or Burks. By the way, for those of you bummed we didn’t get Burks but also bummed we picked Klay while we have Monta- that makes no sense. Burks is a taller, slower, lesser version of Monta. Klay is different from both. He is a 2/3 and he’ll be running off screens all day like Reggie Miller did with Mark Jackson. When we have to play half court we have someone better than Monta at the two spot.
Nobody at 11 was going to be Michael Jordan. Also, stop hating on Riley, he made the pick West wanted. If we had made a pick everyone liked somehow I think we’d all be praising West and not Riley.
Finally, heed the lessons from last hear – we all hated on Udoh pick and now he is our best defender.
Finally, and let me be the first to say it – Let Klay Smoke!

Dude, what are you about 12 years old? You don;t think West knows what he’s doing? we just added size to the back court with a better gun that Monta….this pick is solid gold…
We now need to get a free agent, Mark G or Nene…..I can’t believe we even got Klay, this guy will be a star without a doubt…..you can quote me on that ;))

we just added one player to a team that won 36 games last year, who doesn’t do anything differently than any of the other guys already on this team. i’m not sure what magical world u live in, but nba players don’t magically improve that much

beans was better
when he had guys who could penetrate and find him for a dunk, and better perimiter defenders since he’s not the greatest at protecting the rim (he’s ok, but not great). so it’s not just him for the reason i think 40 wins, but also the makeup of the team. now switch out monta for iggy and have beans return to form and then i’d be more inclined to agree
Dude!!
You need to see the whole picture, there was no player at #11 that was going to transform us? did you see and LBJ there at 11? come back to earth,….
We just took care of the back court foir years to come, damm, Rome wasn’t built in one day? wake up and smell the coffee!!
dude
unless we trade monta, which is seeming unlikely, we’ve already had the backcourt taken care of. a guy like singleton (u know, someone who actually knows what defense is) would have greatly improved this team. still waiting on those free agents…
So we whine about back up guards the whole season
we get one and we don’t need any guards…..
BABY BABY BBY CHIBA
we need a backup pg
we had reggie all last year as a backup 2, but smart was an idiot and didn’t play him
Singleton is no lock down defender, and would never find the playing time on this team to greatly change us anymore than EU did..
Were building the team from the feet up, and we now have the size plus the shooting in the back court with great passing skills from both Curry and Klay for many years to come..
We can now look for the big’s we need, also if we took your attitude two years ago we would of never drafted Curry!!
Like I said, Rome wasn’t built on a day! sit back and let the real pro’s we now have the FO do there magic!!
what?
singleton’s greatest asset is his defense, that’s what he does. and u keep saying we can look for bigs, yet u seem to fail to realize we have no money to spend on them

Leonard is a good scorer. He’s not exactly Mark Price out there, but he can shoot. He’s certainly not in the category with Biedrins, who shouldn’t shoot from outside the charging circle.
but he can shoot.
ok, I just thought maybe I’d go with what I read in draft express about the guy, but maybe you know more about it
Leonard’s 0.889 points per possession overall ranks third worst of the 17 wings we evaluated, and his adjusted field goal percentage of 46.3% ranks dead last, a strong illustration of his scoring woes.

I watched quite a bit of SDSU
He can shoot, but he took a lot of ill-advised threes (including one on a key possession against UConn in the tourney) that brought down his FG%. He was decent inside the arc, but I believe he shot something like 29% from three, which is like Antoine Walker level futility. I’m sort of trusting that anybody who tries to do that for Pop’s team won’t be playing.
Man - the overreactors!
Jeez people. Klay and Tristan Thomson were the two players that CLEARLY moved up the board the past 2 weeks. KLAY is a legit pick that’s ready to contribute to the team NOW.
This is no Todd Fuller type pick – so stop acting like it.
To me this kid seems like 6’ 7" Steph Curry. That’s not a bad thing in my book.
W’s keep Monta and bring Klay off the bench until they see how is – possibly making Monta expendable — good thing! Worst case, he’s bench depth at a position that the W’s don’t have a player at.
W’s trade Monta and bring in a J-Rich type to hold the 2 spot and groom Klay – good thing!
This is good all around.

Well that was Nelly's pick though
Wanna feel real torture? Try being a Warrior fan.
Klay on ESPN chat
I think they have all the pieces. They’re young, have an amazing fanbase and have a great location. I can’t be happier, especially being from California. I think they’re going in the right direction with Coach Jackson. I can’t wait to get up there and start playing with the guys.

I honestly don't understand why he even said that
I’m on the edge of my seat waiting on this trade.
Way to go, Honeycutt and Lee. Sacrificed a shot at the title next year for the star-studded life of the second round of the NBA Draft.
Mini is stacking picks...
But for what?
And if we show any activity it should be an aquisistion of an established player or top pick (maybe for the future?) and not just lower picks..
by RTM707 on Jun 23, 2011 7:24 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
no they dont
if we dont suck enough to get top 7 we lose the pick next year. so ur basically trading monta+pick ’12 for iggy who has a long ass contract.
i rather suck hard
1 year. and get a stud. next year’s draft is stacked.
if a trade isn't made
we owe it to ourselves as fans to say fuck this franchise. we need to demand that they do something to get better or lose support
Hard to imagine another shoe isn’t going to drop.
If we were just going to stand pat, I think we would have picked Leonard, one of the Morii, Singleton, or Vujejic.
That they picked a SG whose best quality is offense has to presage a trade.
I hope…

Monta Ellis for Josh Smith or Andre Igoudala
If we drafted Kawhi Leonard, Monta Ellis might not be traded until the Trading Deadline, now after the Klay Thompson pick, will he get traded earlier?
Chris Vernon:
Some names to keep an eye on for Grizzlies #49 if they keep falling – Jeremy Tyler, Malcolm Lee, DeAndre Liggins
Mini
Ya they need a sg, or work a Rubio/Flynn combo and be like the dubs…
And if they did make a deal for monta what would they be giving up?
Would it make them better, or would the price we demand for monta be considered too much and his value deminished…

Ryan Feldman: Source: Sixers have quieted down on Andre Iguodala trade talks, deal now unlikely tonight.
Well, on the right team where he doesn’t have to be the first option, and gets help on defense, he’s quite valuable.

It makes sense:
Stevenson & Peja might not go back to the Mavs and they needed shooting in Rudy.
Nuggets want Ty Lawson to be their man so Andre Miller is his 1-year mentor.
Portland is just looking for better scoring options since Roy is washed up.
Portland Trail Blazers Receive: Ray Felton and rights to pick #57
Denver Nuggets Receive: Andre Miller, rights to pick #26 (Jordan Hamilton), and a future 2nd rounder

dorrell wright/
david lee/ ekpe udoh
jeremy tyler/beans
that roster will make the playoffs in 2012 if there is a 2012 season.
only if
tyler actually pans out, and even then it’s kinda doubtful. if he does anything it’s probably not gonna be until about 3 years down the line
forget about that.
start him right away. I just hope he does not get into foul trouble often. warriors did not really have a center last year. now we have one who will not worry about his emotions when playing on the court. yes. pick up one more decent center in free agency or trade. more depth and legitimate starters now at every position. no more acie law of vladimir radonmovich

that's not my point

the warriors had nothing there last year, nothing. now they have something. vladimir does not have to play center this year. they will make the playoffs. more depth and better starting center. there are decent centers in the nba who were drafted in the second round.

Hofstra’s Charles Jenkins is the sleeper of this draft. The 6-3 senior is regarded as one of the country’s best mid-major talents, and was the CAA’s Player of the Year for two straight seasons, but few were aware of just how dominant of a scorer he really was. On numbers alone, he’s more impressive than any other scoring guard who’s in contention for the first round, because he offers the rare combination of high efficiency in both ISO and spot-up situations.

I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but Jenkins is also a shooting guard!
He is actually more efficent than Thompson, at the same position! So, we now have a slew of shooting, #2, guards, and not one bonafide “pure” point guard! OK! You guys make sense out of all this, because I sure as heck do not see how we got stronger with any of these moves where we are the weakest: Center and Power Forward.

by Anonymous1337 on Jun 23, 2011 8:36 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
He did in Israel.
Word is that he’s grown up since then. One would hope.
..
The 6’11" 263 pound Tyler is a San Diego native who was a highly recruited high school junior a few year’s ago but decided to forego his senior year. He then broke his commitment to Louisville, and decided to play overseas. Tyler had become somewhat forgotten in this year’s draft, but could turn into a top-notch big man who’s a bit under the radar as of now. I think it’s a great move by the front office and is just more proof that the Warriors are putting their money where their mouth is when it comes to making the team better.
Tyler has been labeled an immature guy that lets his emotions get away from him from time to time, especially since he didn’t even attempt to go to college or even finish high school. He’s definitely is a bit of a gamble on behalf of the W’s but if his raw skills can develop in the NBA could be a great player in the league for a long time.

his offense is atrocious and Charles Jenkins is looking like he can really play.

Love how they made ESPN look silly
If you're watching a blowout, you can pass the time by counting the double teapots.

I guess
they just ran out of ideas. Figured they may as well go for the dude with the coolest name.
All of you guys that speak so highly of the Tyler pic, have not seen him play overseas as I have.
He should have stayed in school, and gotten some next level experience. I will give him the benefit of the doubt, and say, at best, he is a “project.”. So, let’s see what we have done in this draft so far. We passed up on some quality big men such as Leonard, Singleton, Morris, and Vecevi, and used our #11 pick to get Thompson, when in fact, later, we picked Jenkins who is another shooting guard, more efficient than Thompson! I sure hope that there is some trade strategy and agenda, or else, we are royally scr——ing this draft up!
He should play in Reno for a while.

At this stage
I think teams are just chucking shit against a wall.
going undrafted is not the worst thing
if you can prove yourself, you get paid more than most of your draft class in your 2nd year
Ater Majok?
Are they serious? I played that guy in high school!
Yeah!
Maybe, the Lacob’s love Lin and Jackson said he loves Lin too.

I was worried he would fall out of the draft.
Good for him.

Did you guys hear Kyrie during his post draft press conference? He said something like “I’m going to go against the best every night. Guys like Kobe Bryant, Kevin Martin (just exclude this), and Stephen Curry” Ahhh yeah.

Well, I guess the degree of risk was worth some petty cash....
If this fella develops in 2-3 years, it willhavesome positive windfall; if not, it was just petty cash!
