Golden State Warriors 2010 Draft Preview

Basketball Betting Lines

06/21/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Warriors are far too talented to win just 26 games but injuries and Don Nelson's flawed, defensively-challenged coaching style was too much to overcome last season.

The franchise is for sale and a new ownership group will likely mean wholesale changes to the front office and coaching staff, meaning a distinct change in philosophy.

Until that happens, Nelson will still be in charge and preaching offense at the expense of any toughness on the defensive end.

Monta Ellis and last year's first round pick, Stephen Curry, can both fill it but Golden State needs a player that will show up on a nightly basis at the defensive end and on the boards.

Of course that means Nelson will select another scorer at No. 6, likely Wake Forest small forward Al-Farouq Aminu. There is a significant drop after the top five players on the board so the Warriors ended up being the biggest loser in the lottery, falling from four to six. Aminu has elite physical tools and a nice upside but he's a bit of a tweener and needs to add strength, a perfect fit for Nelson.

Players under contract: F Kelenna Azubuike; C Andris Biedrins; G Stephen Curry; G Monta Ellis; F Corey Maggette; F Anthony Randolph; C Ronny Turiaf; F Reggie Williams; F Brandan Wright

Free agents: F Devean George (unrestricted); C Chris Hunter (restricted); G Anthony Morrow (restricted); F Vladimir Radmanovic (ETO); F Anthony Tolliver (restricted); G C.J. Watson (restricted)
