He doesn't just get open 18 footers for no reason... if he wasn't an inside player teams would try and stop his midrange and dare him to drive, innit?


Well, if you're including Ellis as being amongst our trio, we can quibble about the designation but not about the talent.

I agree, the future of this team as currently constuted, once Baron, Al, and Jax come off the books, is Biedrins, Wright, and Ellis.

find some good role players to fit around them, and we'll be set for years to come.

May already have a few (hopefully) in Bukie and Bellinelli.

I really think Biedrins lack of playing time is because of last season when he hit the wall a month before the playoffs. Nellie commented that he needed to watch his minutes.

As Biedrins gets older he will get stronger and should be able to play more minutes because of it. Also if the Warriors had a big body to help Biedrins bang down low with, would help.

If Biedrins doesn't get more playing time near the end of the season and hopefully the playoffs, then my thoughts are totally off base.

According to ESPN's per, Wright has the 2nd highest PER for any rookie w/over 250 minutes so far. #1 is Carl Landry.

Credit to some small, crappy, warriorhomerboard for the info, but its true :o

Accuracy warning: They still have Wright listed at 205 :lol:

How about instead of inside, we label the 3 "inside the arc / efficient " scorers? That's more what I was going for.
