Superstar rising. It was a big gamble taking this kid out of High School a few years ago considering his size at the time, his speed in addition to now a steady jump shot make Monta unguardable as of late. The Warriors essentially replaced the very quick Speedy Claxton with a 2 two guard who can put the ball in the hole. With Baron Davis at the point, Biedrins and Harrington in the post, and a wing rotation of Stephen Jackson,Ellis, Kaleena Azubuke, and the fiercely under rated Matt Barnes, the Warriors are living more then dieing by the metaphorical three point jump shot sword because they're driving and getting to the stripe enough and they're making just enough free throws. The keys going forward for the Warriors are offensive rebounding and better FT shooting up and down the line-up.

Either use Pietrus or move him, the Warriors could use a veteran post player and a veteran point guard to back up Baron. P.j. Brown is unused by the Bulls and Gary Payton has expressed interest in joining the Warriors. If the Warriors are going to make it further then they did last year in the playoffs, they need a few more pieces. It would also further Golden State's cause if they got their rookies Bellineli and Brandon Wright enough seasoning so that when the inevitable injuries come they can maintain. What the Warriors really need, is the same thing that every NBA team needs, a dominate post player like Dwight Howard or KG, or a dominate post player negator in addition to Biedrins to share some minutes and allow for foul trouble, Al Harrington despite his size really isn't a post player but rather a big three, (small forward.)
