Synopsis: As we
go position by position the Warriors began to take shape. Today we are talking
about the shooting guard position. Once again the Warriors only have a starter
and a backup. Lets start with the starter Klay Thompson. Klay is only in his 2nd
year (Both with the Warriors) but is said to have an upside like no other. And I
see it! The young kid has a sweet stroke that should work well with Steph Curry
and should open up the paint for Bogut. But he is a bigger two guard so he
should be a more imposing threat on opposing guards than Monte Ellis was. And
as he grows aas a player he is only going to get smarter and better. Lets hope
he stays in Golden state for years to come. Now on to Brandon Rush who wants
take the starting small forward position. He is consistent and was vital for
the Warriors to keep so that he can continue to mentor young Thompson and teach
him a little more about the defensive side of the game. Rush is a great
defender and has a real shot at that starting three spot. But I think the
Warriors would be better served to have Rush as the 1st man off the
bench and playing the backup role ot Klay and sometime playing the point. But
those are decisions for Mark Jackson to make all I can ssay is I like what I see…
