Im watching the GSW vs LAL Summer League game, and I just want to be the first to say this...
The Golden State Warriors are going to be good.
I'm not talking about good in the future, Im talking about good this season. They are one healthy season away from being this seasons Indiana Pacers of last year, and the Memphis Grizzlies of the year before.
Myers is building a team with the kind of versatility, depth of talent and a real good mix of young guys with limitless potential and sure fire workman dependable type of potential. When you pair a limitless prospect, with a dependable prospect and put the right kind of veteran in front of both of them for them both to learn from and learn how to be professional from... you set yourself up for a culture change of sustainable success. Im sure of this after watching them trade the productive knucklehead Dorell Wright and clear way for Barnes and Green to develop and give his production.
(As I type this, Draymond Green pulls up from like 30 feet at the top of the circle)
You will have Thompson and Curry learning ways to approach the game from a guy in Jarret Jack who is just good enough at both of their weaknesses, to help both along with his professional approach to the game. Jenkins has the build and game to emulate a guy like Jack perfectly as well down the road. Interesting to see how he will turn out as a pro.
You have a All-Star in David Lee who has done it all with hustle and working work, who will have guys like Harrison Barnes, the aforementioned Green... and it looks like Jeremy Tyler will develop into more of a faceup big man with his skill and athleticsm.
Then you have Bogut with his new protege in Festus Ezeli
(WOW... Jeremy Tyler is going to PAYOFF for the calculated risk, pretty soon here. His feel for the game is ridiculous for a 20 yr old big man. I just watched him do a 360 hanging hook shot/layup and his body control was crazy)
Speaking of Tyler, and wrapping this lovefest up, I see a GM who is not afraid to take risks on guys like Tyler and understands how to establish and foster a culture of winning. I see an organization who understood that this young GM/UCLA champion/Agent Protege would be a revolutionary young executive if he only had the right kind of GM from the basketball side to look over his shoulder and help him shore up his basketball executive skills, and they secured that by adding Jerry West high up in the ranks.
I was watching them closely this past season, and I saw a team that was playing some good basketball before they made the correct decision to trade Monte and shut down and rebuild Curry's ankle. Most notably, their comeback win over Miami last winter was one where I watched Mark Jackson outcoach Spoelstra with like 10% of the talent. I have faith in the #2 all time assist guy growing and developing as a coach
They are my team to watch this season.
