Summer League Review

Here's what we learned from Summer League:

-Anthony Randolph is a monster. Even though Griffin got the MVP, like it even matters, Randolph had the best summer. Not only did he score, rebound, and block shots at will, but he shot an impressive 61% from the floor. When you add his improved jump shot to his length and athleticism, you can see how other PF's in the league will have trouble guarding him.

-Stephen Curry isn't afraid to shoot. In five summer league games, Curry averaged 1 shot for every 2 minutes he plays. Unfortunately, he only made 32.5% of his shots. But his shot will come when the regular season starts up.

-Anthony Morrow is going to be sneaky good this year. In his 3 summer league games he went from efficient (17 points on 8 for 13 shooting) to bad (10 points on 2 for 7 shooting) to lights-out awesome (47 points on 18 for 26 shooting). Morrow did the same thing his rookie season; solid play with flashes of great play. He should enjoy a great second season as a reserve guard.

Summer League in Vegas

The Golden State Warriors begin summer league play on Friday against the Rockets. The summer team roster is highlighted by Anthony Randolph and rookie Stephen Curry. Randolph is looking to build on his rookie season. He is supposed to be an inch taller and 20 pounds heavier than last year. He has also been working on his midrange jumper this summer and that will make him a more dangerous weapon on offense. As for Curry, he just needs to get acclimated to the speed and size of fellow NBA players. The quick pace of the NBA game (especially the Warriors pace) and the talent level of his competition will be much greater than what they were at Davidson. That being said, he's going to get a chance to show off his range and work on his passing this summer.

Summer Schedule:
July 10th, vs. the Rockets
July 11th, vs. the Kings
July 13th, vs. the Pistons
July 14th, vs. the Bulls
July 15th, vs. the Hornets

The Warriors Take Curry

The Golden State Warriors drafted Stephen Curry with the 7th pick in the 2009 NBA. Was this really the Warriors pick? After acquiring Speedy Claxton and Acie Law from the Hawks and drafting Curry, the Warriors now have FIVE point guards on their roster (Ellis, Watson, Claxton, Law, and Curry). Unless the Warriors plan on playing ultra small ball, they will probably look to unload some of their guards.

Which leads me to believe that Curry was the Suns' pick. It has been rumored that the Warriors will be trading Biedrins, Wright, Bellinelli, and Curry for Amare Stoudemire. If that's the case, can you imagine the amazing starting five the Warriors would have: Ellis, Jackson, Maggette, Randolph, and Stoudemire. Congratulations 2009-2010 Warriors! You're going to lead the league in points and points allowed!
