Warriors NEED to take Anthony Randolph if available

This kid is a phenomenal talent. yes he's skinny, and might need a year or two to hit his form (since he is 18), but the warriors arent winning a championship in the next two years anyway. Draft this kid and we will have one within 5 years. Check out this ability to shoot and dunk from a guy 6'10".

Why would he go all the way down to 14?

We're talking about a kid who was rattled because of workouts. Workouts!

We just 86'd a C with great physicals and who will likely help someone down the road, and the people here like to cite his lack of passion... Randolph would be OB'd here.

That all said, if Rush/Arthur/Ajinca are off the board, sure, why the hell not?

I'm still trying to figure out what position he best fits, SF/PF?

Randolph is at least as skinny as Wright....we"d need to re-up POB mostly to stuff cheesecakes into both of them. However....in the unlikely event Randolph drops---taking him probably is a good move even if we are grooming him to be trade bait later on.

If Rush,Ajinca,Speights etc are gone at 13.....SOMEONE unexpected falls into our hands at 14.
Rush only makes sense to teams hard up for a decent SG. Ajinca makes sense for teams that excell at grooming a raw project.

Don't worry, Don Nelson will play him at Center position if we draft him.

Only 3 warrior 1st round picks would ruin my summer..

Kosta Koufos
Robin Lopez
Donte Greene

It might be a bad summer LF if the rumors hold true that the Warriors take two of your 3 in Kosta Koufos and Donte Greene.

We need to draft someone good like Mikael Pietrus or my summer will be ruined...

I could live with the W's taking Greene, if they take Koufus I might throw something.

Greene is salvagable... but he really needs to flip a light switch. He's a project, but you don't want your projects to have T-Rex arms. To wit, Brandon Rush's wingspan is 2" longer than Greene's despite being 3" shorter than him.

I'm preparing myself for the worst - Kosta Koufos.

I'd like them to draft Robin Lopez. This board will be very entertaining if they do. Whats the difference, if we get a good player or not? Really, is there any difference?

Is Chase Buddinger still around, or'd he go back to school? He could ruin my summer.

Koufos makes me wanna puke = slow Murphy

Robin Loez reminds me of Wall . E

I like Green, but he scares me as a possible bust. Not mentally tough. Damon Jonesish

Chase going back to Tucson. He'll aim to ruin next years summer for you.

He's a freak at SF. I will **** my pants if we get him.

I want both Randolph or Rush. I <3 both of them as prospects, for completely different reasons.
