Completely happy with this pick. Finally went for the high risk, high reward player.

Wow so hes going to play center for us right?

Future move I guess. Potential is there in 4 years right in time for a contract.

Why? We have Brandon Wright. Do you think he can develop playing off the bench? What about Al Harrington?

I am so pumped. He has great potential. He can jump out of the gym. Look for him to be a big contributor in 3 or 4 years. He will be playing in the Vegas summer league. Also, I just checked out Randolph's website, anthonyrandolph.net. Check it out and welcome him to the Golden State. He should be a great addition.

Unbelievable with Arthur still on the board... I mean I dont hate the pick, but we passed on a lot of better talent IMO... I hope this is part of a trade. If not, I'm not not excited about what Randolph can bring to us in the future.

He really, really needs experience though, and I hope he plays in the D-League to get that experience.

Love the pick!

Better pick than Koufos, the other Slowpez, and Hibbert would have been, so I like it.

Arthur still on the board is surprising. J.J. Hickson got picked ahead of him? LOL.

So we drafted another Brandan Wright?

Dubbs hates fat Barley so much that we draft thin PF just to piss him off more... :evil:

You forgot Don Nelson is coach. He will be playing PF or C

I could care less. I'm just saying what his best position is. Don's only here for 1 more year anyway.

18 6'10 197 he should enjoy the developmental league.

wow, I'm a little surprised but I think I'm happy with them picking this guy, he's really young for a big guy, maybe that means B Wright will be the veteran 'skooling' him for the next season.
I'm just happy the Warriors went for a young big with potential again.
Hopefully we'll see last years 'young big guy with potential' play a lot more this coming season.

The Warriors are cornering the market for skinny athletic left handed big men. I still feel that Speights was the better fit. I don't know much about Randolph I have only seen one youtube video of him, but I must say that he did remind me a little of a young Lamar Odom in the vid. No I am not predicting that level of success for Randolph or that he will be able to put weight on like Odom did, but the potential is there.

I'm pumped we got Randolph, but dang we are a skinny team. Next year's slogan should be "Got Beef?"
