This is what I'm hoping about the Warriors and the draft. I hope they pick whoever they pick at No. 7. And then I want them to trade the pick right then and there for an impact player. I know this sounds weird and I doubt it will happen. But I don't see any player they take making a big impact in 2009-2010. I want the Warriors to do something wow, something that makes a mark on the league. I want Nellie to be Nellie.
If the Warriors simply take the forward, Hill, Don Nelson will ride him all season and ruin his confidence as Nelson does with rookies. Where's the future in that? The Warriors need to be creative. Can they?
I'll be at Warriors HQ for the draft and I'll get back to you later along with my kid Iggy who's on break from UCLA for a week and will be my guest expert. Go Bruins -- I mean Warriors.
YOU HIT IT RIGHT ON THE HEAD[NO PUN INTENDED] CAUSE ANY PLAYER UNDER 25 BECOMES A HEAD CASE BECAUSE OF NELSON! IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER WHO WE GET. THE LAST 5 PLAYERS ON NELSONS BENCH COULD OF WON 25 GAMES LAST YEAR WITHOUT THE COACH! WHERE'S AL ATTLES WHEN WE NEED HIM?
