Hey Swoopa, I have something positive about the Warriors

OK now that the MJ saga is over I have moved on.

I did really like the Warriors draft and it is coming together a little bit of late. JR was a relative no-brainer, but I thought Arenas was a great pick where they got him. Arenas has tremendous athleticism (speed, quickness, hops), good scoring instincts, and actually was the best on the ball defender last year for Arizona (yes, better than Jefferson). In fact he was AZ best player last year but he fell in that "often great college player not much a pro prospect mold" typical of guys with the body of a 1 and the game of a 2.

The key issues for Arenas I would think are 1) is his shot coming along consistently (he had solid college 3 range but was a little sporadic), and 2) more importantly, can he take more of a set up (versus) scorer mentality and will he able to handle the ball well-enough so that he can transition to the one. I have seen he is getting into games and producing in the box scores of late, how does the team, fans and coaches feel he is coming along. I guess if he can't make the 1 transition maybe he can be the next Mobley (smallish offensively explosive 2 guard), what do ya'll think of him?

 

I didn't know I was in a turney, but thanks for the vote
