Will Wright play in Summer League?

I'm pretty sure we'll see Marco and our draft picks in Vegas, but will Wright be there?

Will the Warriors want him to get in the extra work? Or will they protect him from a possible injury going into next season?

I hope he plays, but those games don't really mean anything except to see our guys out there.

I would really like to see the roster filled out with some serious talent. Instead of these guys that have zero shot.

Time for the Warriors to show that developement is in their lexicon.

With Keith Dumb as our head coach does it really matter if Brandan shows up for SL? All we are going to do is chuck chuck chuck..Might as well send the bigs home.

No idea if Wright is scheduled to play but I believe we have already chosen a CBA All Star scorer to suck minutes from legitimate NBA rebounders: Josh Pace, AKA Matt Barnes II.

SL ball is where you send big players to kill thier dreams. It's not a way into the league for big men, it's being shown the door. If a big man is good, it's not worth risking injury in SL crap ball with Rapist Pierce hogging all the shots.

Send the bigs to play for the Latvian national team this summer . . . all of them. They let big men touch the ball there and they teach them how to move without the ball AND THEY REWARD THEM FOR IT.

What would it take to get Brandan dual citizenship?

I agree, Sleepy. Biedrins needed Summer Ball in years past and Wright would have played had he been "totally healthy," would have not been challenged, and would have been shut down early like Azubuike was last year.

Belinelli, to provide a contrasting example, was shut down for hitting a lot of his stupid shots in one game and has never recovered from having his crap ball style reinforced by the Gambler and his Proxy.

I hope not, I don't want him to injure his vagina again like at the end of the season.

I thought this was a Wright thread, not Pietrus.

Every thread is a Pietrus thread with Choda boy around.

I forgot about Josh Duncan from Xavier. 6'9" 230, can do it all.

Not super athletic, but super solid.

Warriors please invite this guy before someone else does.

I've been on Duncan too. Seems really poised, something of a Tayshaun Prince type.

I would be happy if we took him with our #2.

He's way to beefy to be a Tayshaun Prince type.

He's not the Uber defender that Prince can be. Or the gliding, 3 point shooting SF that Prince is.

Josh is a PF. He's a PF that can take his game outside some though. And that is something we definitely need.

He reminds me of a guy we had quite a few years back named Tony Farmer. Farmer was a guy who came out of the CBA I think, from Nebraska. He was nearly the same height and dimensions of Josh Duncan. He was a smart heady hustle guy who made good plays in a season where we struggled to grab the 8th seed with a lsoing record.

I think Terry Cummings was on that team.

Anyway I'm not sure that Josh will be drafted. But if we did end up with him through our second rounder, then Warrior fans will love this guy. Very smart player.

We definitely need another late first or early second rounder, there are some gems out there.
