Rebounding: not good. Can't get a board in traffic. The only rebounds he gets are balls that bounce long.

Passing: OK. definitely overrated. Once in awhile he makes a nice pass. mostly just throws it around the perimeter. His assist numbers tell the story.

1-1 moves:  Nonexistent. Can't take anybody off the dribble. I've seen plenty of opportunities for him to take his man. He instead chooses to throw to someone else and let them do the work.

I expect his playing time to keep shrinking as the season goes on.  Nellie will only go with players that are producing.

Of course, the shower of millions has resulted in uninspired and/or stagnant play, with the exception of Jason Richardson. In hindsight, of course it is obvious that players should never be paid for potential!  Consider the lesson learned; we havn't locked up Petrius... yet.

As Atma Brother ONE eloquently states, it appears Dunleavy has been given far too much credit.  However, I believe this to be a front for a savvy strategy to clarify the reality of his abilities.  While the Warriors have done everything possible to help Dunleavy succeed, I'd argue they are not counting on it.  Yes, he was made a captain and point, but after benching him a few games in, it seems this was a token show of faith to keep his confidence up and rule out misplaying him all these years.  I don't think it is coincidence that there are multiple people to run the point or play forward when he is benched.  

Don Nelson is famous for creative and brilliant trades.  If Petrius or Diogu can't prove their ability to be star forwards, I'm guessing we'll get one.

I'll let ya'll have your "fun" destroying one of our own players.  That's cool.

I'm just waitin' for some John L firepower.  

He's too slow, on offense and defense.

He can't shoot....not even in streaks!

The dude's a tweener in the classic sense: Any 3 worth a shit will blow past him, and  nearly every 4 in the league will treat him like , well, we've all seen the "Foto Fun."

All that being said, I will NOT  boo a player on my own team. That's just bush. It serves no purpose. If it makes you feel better, well I'm sorry.

So my advice is to just hope against hope that we can find a way to get SOMETHING out of this guy, 'cause my gut tells me, we're stuck with him.

Thank God Nellie realized that MDJ and Murph on the court together was basically  B-ball suicide. Monte never figured that one out!

I'm going to the game tonight to witness a victory and pay too much for my beer.

But you can't blame Dunleavy for accepting a $44 million dollar contract.  You can't blame him for being paid like a star even if he's not one.  Management is the only place anybody can point fingers.  It's not Dun's fault he was drafted as the 3rd overall pick.  It's not his fault he's paid like a starter.  It's not his fault coaches played him 30 minutes a game.  If Dunleavy was making $5 mil a year and coming off the bench, nobody would have any problems with him.  But management put him in this position where everybody expects him to be a starter and put up big numbers.

i think the "potential" is long gone.  Most players @ the age of 22 are considered to "old" to possibly have any more upside. Consider the relationship between age and the discourse on 'potential' and 'upside' and how seniors in college have supposedly peaked; the sudden realization that Monta is 21 and was an older high schooler means that his development is stunted; and Espn.com assessment of his potential as unlimited if he's 19, but considered over @ 21.  Surprisingly, Dun apparently has unlimited (and latent) potential that just needs to be tapped by the right coach.  Not to make it racial, but it seems more than coincidental that this unlimited potential doesn't apply to most players of color.  

Something funny that someone posted a few days ago was how Dun's strength now is how he is able to come off the bench to relieve the starters!  Is that how bad it has really gotten that we continue to laud Dun for things that we should expect from any player on any team?

True, its not Dun's fault for getting that contract.  Perhaps continually dissin' on Dunleavy isn't productive for moral; yet it seems that there are continual reasons to diss on him considering how the hype around Dunleavy regenerates and we are ultimately let down over and over again.  Moreover, Dun directly contributes to the hype with unlimited excuses as to why he doesn't succeed in every system he's been in!    

Anyway, what I would like to ask JohnL is why we need to continue to be patient with Dunleavy considering how long we've waited?  It seems that even local beat writers like Tim Kawakami (sp?) and Marcus Thompson, once staunch supporters, are realizing that Dun just isn't and WON'T be that good. Granted, blasting Dun daily doesn't help the cause, but considering the hype machine that Dun has created around himself (more smoke and mirrors than GSoM ..haha), I seems somewhat fair to be upset.. again!
