Mullin May Go Big at 11

Jun 24, 2004 2:17 PM EST

Sources around the league have indicated that Warriors' vice president Chris Mullin would like to take 6-foot-11 power forward Andris Biedrins with the 11th pick today, in Mullin's first NBA Draft selection. Mullin saw the 18-year-old left-hander play and also had a scout watch him in Croatia, and they both came away impressed.

There are other center prospects the Warriors could go with but then again, Mullin could ignore position and draft for talent alone.

"At my core, I'm more of a best-player (proponent)," Mullin said last week. "Depending on where we are when that selection comes, if all things are equal and the guy's bigger, that could change things. But at my core, I'm more of a best-player person.''

If so, there are a group of talented swingmen that could be available at 11.

Dampier to Become a Free Agent

Jun 24, 2004 1:24 PM EST

Warriors center Erick Dampier, according to ESPN.com, has elected to opt out of the final two years of his contract. Dampier now becomes a competent consolation prize to any team seriously in the Shaquille O'Neal sweepstakes. Dallas and Indiana (Dampier's first team) would likely be two of the more aggressive teams in play for his services. Also, if O'Neal is dealt, the Lakers would likely be in contention and of course the Warriors will be able to offer the most money.
