Lets get this out of the way, he doesn't like too miss very much. He is the best shooter in the NBA by far right now. He's a good rebounder and is starting too get better on defense. But With Curry and Ellis showing that they can work and will and are working well together it's obvious Morrow won't ever be starting at shooting guard for us. What about Small forward? At 6'5 210 he may need to get stronger and he may be a little short to be playing it but in the last couple games he has played great there. But can he be a full time starter there?

  He looks good there now but once this season is over we will get Kelenna Azebuike back and he will surely reclaim that spot right? Wrong. As I see it either one can start and I would be fine with it but Morrow needs to polish his game a lot more. But they would have to compete for that job if our roster stands pat. As of now he can shoot and well.... thats about it. He's getting better at putting the ball on the floor and passing but even Ray Allen developed a driving game. But is small forward suited for him? Or would he better as a 6th man type shooting guard getting 20+ minutes off the bench?

                                                                      That shot went in.....

    If someone isn't moved there will be no minutes too go around. You would have Maggs, Buike, Morrow, Ellis, Curry, a rookie, and Vladimir Radmonovich all getting minutes at shooting guard/small forward. Someone needs to go because Morrow is a key part of our future and is just as much a key as Curry may be. Azebuike may leave since he can opt out but since he's injured it's unlikely, Ellis leaving? Sorry Monta haters he's here to stay, Curry? No. Vlad? Probably not. Maggette? He's can maybe be thrown out as trade bait in the off season for an expiring deal. Even if he does have a good year he should not be apart of this young teams plan. I think Maggs has played great lately and I'm not ripping on him but for Morrow's sake he should be traded. Maybe if Washington gets *really* desperate for more draft picks and we package him for Butler with our 1st round pick? That clears a contract and Morrow can safely say he will be getting 20+ a game (more like 25 - 30) and saves us money and not to mention even better ball movement. Or if they won't buy it we can trade him for Marko Jaric,  it's not pretty but gives us an expiring. Lets say he isn't traded, there is no room for a draft pick or playing time for Morrow. But then again if Buike leaves there may be no need for a trade.

    Morrow's skill sets says he is a 2 but is capable of the 3 if he gained some muscle which he may do. We have lost most of our games this year when he scores 9 or less. Kinda suggesting huh? He needs playing time and shots and he will get that this year but his future may look uncertain if we keep all of our wings. So where is his future? Future starting small forward? 25 - 30 minute a game sub? Only a marksman who comes in at certain times?

                                                       Rudy don't even bother trying against him....

There has been so much talk about Monta the past couple of months that we forgot how good he really was. We signed him to a $66 million contract for a reason, and that reason was because we wanted to hand over the team to him. We've been caught up in all of this media blabber and forgot that maybe it was always the medias intention to turn our backs on Monta. The game Monta played in Portland really got me amped up about whats to come for the rest of the season. Monta is all star caliber no question!

I forgot what freak of an athlete Monta was before Portlands game; his lighting fast change of gears  then finishing with silky smooth layups. Please, name one other person in the NBA that can pull off the kind of layups Monta does night in and night out. If Monta can truly become a better passer and put in the same effort on D against Brandon Roy, we're going to have ourselves a very intriguing/unique specimen on our team for a loooong time.(5+years?)

The last interview I heard with Monta was that he clearly wanted to be a Warrior for as long as possible, and why wouldn't he?! This is HIS team! If he were to go to another organization he might not be their main man. So having that said, I do not mind at all to have Stephen Curry be our point guard because clearly Monta can guard the bigger 2 guards now. Curry is clearly the better point guard right now so let him be the point! The star of the team doesn't have to be the point guard, ala Kobe Bryant. When the game is on the line I want the ball to be in Monta's hands because that's what a leader or a star does. We have to let Monta become the star that we always wanted him to be and for that to happen he has to make the big plays for us.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one that thinks we may have started to hate on Monta a bit too much but all I'm trying to say is we should all start to believe in Monta and know that he'll do what's good for the team from here on out. I feel after Portlands game were going to have a pretty surprising season and our season starts now as a brand new team... hopefully Turiaf, Biedrins, Watson, Wright, Azubuike, Nellie, and now Anthony Randolph get better soon and we can gain back some respect from this league... Dang our team is probably worse off than last season,That's sad!!! LGW!!

I was doing some research to gain a little perspective on one of our young Warriors to see how his production in limited minutes compares to some of the greats around the league.   I thought that this would make for a fun guessing game as well as serve as a nice hiatus from all the proposed Monta trades that have littered the fan posts the past couple weeks.  Also, it might open some eyes. 

So this is how it works; I am going to post the per 36 minute stats of 6 different players around the league.  I want you to try and guess who they are.  One of our young warriors will be mixed into the six.  Have fun and good luck guessing.

Dont get me wrong Stephen Jackson was a key piece of the Warriors franchise for the past few years, but how he dominated the ball while he was with the warriors could have been holding Monta back from more performance like last night vs the Blazers.  Now with Jackson gone it seems so far that Monta does to a certain extent feel that the wins and loses for this team derectly come back to him because he is the best player on the team and it is now his team.  For example, when Jackson was on the team people on the team saw him as the leader and when you leader stays on the offensive end complaining about a call and the other team has a 4 on 5 cause Jackson doesnt come back to the defensive end, the rest of the players do not put as much emphasis on defense. IT STARTS WITH THE BEST PLAYER.

Chris Hunter Player Profile

http://www.nba.com/dleague/playerfile/index.jsp?player=chris_hunter

I tried looking him up for this season but couldn't find any relevant info. Looks like he was signed by New York last year to a 10 day contract, other than that nothing. It's kind of mysterious if you ask me. Says on ESPN and CBS sports that he didn't play a game in college. I'm sure someone can post some info on this guy.
