This is why David Stern is the bad guy of the NBA

I don’t know what David Stern was thinking, putting his hand up to his ear as the fans booed him at the draft. Egging on a fanbase like that isn’t a very good idea. And it doesn’t help when the league has been under scrutiny in recent years:

Let’s get to know Harrison Barnes a little bit

I think what the Warriors have here is a player that’s a little similar to Dorell Wright, but I think this guy has a better jumper. Hopefully this is a great building block to a team that hopes to have a healthy Stephen Curry and Andrew Bogut.

Wright’s future appears to be almost over and I am just hoping that the team is now going in the right direction. That is if there are no distractions.

#30: C Festus Ezeli – Raw talent, so hard to see where he’ll play out.

#35: F Draymond Green – Been watching him since his freshman year. Huge fan and he’s very talented.

#52: C Ognjen Kuzmic – Another center that needs to bulk up.

** Surprised that the team didn’t add a point guard to backup the oft-injured Stephen Curry.
