Im not sure if some of you are just posting based on stats or what but i dont understand how you compare Bogans to Azubuike... I have NBA league pass and i watch many many warrior games because they are so exciting and from watching a lot of this guys game i dont understand how people could make the comparison to Bogans. Bogans has almost 0 athletic ability. He cant make layups, cant dunk, and almost never attacks the basket. Azubuike attacks the basket, is very athletic, and could MAKE layups and dunks! I dont understand why would wouldnt wanna sign someone who is an upgrade to our current players and someone who we could probably sign for half the MLE or by trading J.J. or Bogans (expiring).


Their posting out of ignorance. People who have either A. never really seen the guy play or B. To biased on their own team to put rational thought together shouldn't post about guys like this. There are prob people on this board who think JJ is better than this guy. These same people who were prob aganist signing Hedo for the MLE when we did it as well. This 24 yr old SG whos very athletic, can hit the three and run the floor can be had for 3 million and people don't want to do it cause he's not avg 20 ppg a game. The guy is only going to get better it's like the people don't relize this.

I think he Azu is better than Bogans and right now probably equal to Evans with potential to be better. But is he the SG savior? No way. It depends on how our draft goes. If we dont end up with CDR/Rush in the draft then this is a guy that i would love to sign for $3-3.5 mill a year.

What you just described is a dream scenario. We get youth and athletiscm as well as a revamp of our crappy SG situation.
