Like who?

You can't say Gilbert or Webber cause that's too easy.

Drafted some good players in the second round like Arenas and Monta, but the first round? The only two picks in the last decade that could be consideredgood are Biedrins and J-Rich. Don't even get me started about the mid 90s drafts. (i.e. Joe Smith, Adonal Foyle, Todd Fuller)

 

[japanair21]

1990- Tyrone Hill
1991- Chris Gatling
1992- Latrell Sprewell
1993- Chris Webber
1994- No one special.
1995- Joe Smith
1996- No one special.
1997- Foyle

1998- Jamison
1999- No one special. (Traded JET for Jeff Foster)
2000- No one special.
2001- Jason Richardson, Troy Murphy, and Gilbert Arenas
2002- Bumleavy

(Turned out to be good in Indiana)
2003- Pietrus
2004- Biedrins
2005- Diogu (Turned down Bynum)/Monta
2006- PoB
2007- Wright/Marco

That's not bad.

That's not bad.

But when you consider almost all of those picks are lottery picks, it's not very good.

 

[acidicality]

Recently Mullin has drafted decently, but for the last 15 years the Warriors have draftedhorribly in general, especially considering the amount of stars wepassed over

 

[japanair21]

Compared to some other teams, I think the Warriors have drafted just fine.

 

[acidicality]

True, but 95-97 drafting killed the future for some time being. Todd Fuller/Joe Smith coulda been Kobe Bryant and KG.

 

[offbad]

2007 wright. right choice-- hah hah. belinelli- currently hated by nellie.
2006 o'bust, perovic. but i too feel so bad for POB. he can really be a threat in the low post and on the block. instead he's riding pine.
2005 diogu. great. over bynum, granger, and lee.
2003 pietrus. enough said. over josh howard and david west.
2002 dunleavy? he's a joke. he's marginally if at all better in indiana. selected ahead of amare and caron and boozer. udonis went undrafted.
1997 foyle over tmac? i'll probably never get over that.
1996 todd fuller?!
1995 joe smith over 'sheed?

 

[andrew630]

at least biedrins is practicing lightly again

 

[paul is on tilt]

Hindsight is 20/20... but yeah, we did have a bunch of bad draft picks

.

 

[enlightened thought]

PLAY POB...

he's good! got a nice midrange shot, can block...nelly only says the things he does about POB because he hates him. of all the games i've see POBplay, he has played solid and deserved a shot.

 

[715 asterisk]

O'Bryant should at least suit up.

When seattle scored 32 of its first 34 points, why not put POB in there and change things up?

He would have stopped a few of those drives or at least discouraged penetration. That game would not have been close if we had a center in the game.

 

[andrew630]

dude has a sick costume tho

 

[gas break dip]

1996: 11th pick Todd Fuller, over 13th pick Kobe Bryant.

also that year... 17th Jermaine O'Neal, 14th Peja, and 15th Steve Nash.

And also, don't forget the 95' Draft when the Warriors drafted Joe Smith over KG. Although Joe Smith was nice, KG has obviously proven to be the betterathlete.

But it's all good, Monta Ellis & Andris Biedrins are making up for it.

 

[ady2glude707]

^
its all hindsight, look at all the teams that passed up those great players too.

 

[andrew630]

the new halftime intern, jamie, is kinda cute

 

[offbad]

let's hope s-jax stays healthy.

 

[TheGodFresco]

Did Nellie tell Harrington when he went to the bench " NO, I CALL THE SHOTS"??? I know there is tension between Nellie and harrington

 

[acidicality]

pietrus was ballin

, hopefully he can keep up that production. i doubt it. well maybe.

and jax needs to stay healthy if we're going to make any serious run...

i saw that too...al needs more PT

 

[jrich for mvp]

Nice win today. Nice to see the bench step up when Baron had a bad game. Pietrus playing for that contract, haha. Give Wright more minutes please.

Because Nelson hates him. O'Bryant knows it, that's why he said he will not be back next season.

 

[acidicality]

I think it has to be more than just "Nelson hates him", even if so there has to be a legit reason for so, and it's not just because hedoesn't like playing 1st/2nd yr players
