Golden State Warriors Ratings

EDIT: Marco Belinelli was just traded to Toronto for Devean George. I added George in, and won't take Belinelli out until I make a Raptors post.

Outlook: Biedrins is just 23, and has established himself as one of the best centers in the league. He is an excellent finisher at the basket, and a top 5 rebounder year in and out.

Ball Defense 72
Standing Dunk 50

Outlook: Had a great 2008 season, but struggled in 2009 after hurting his ankle in "Moped-gate". Another reason for his struggles was that he was running point for the first time in his career, and he's not really a PG. The Warriors say they intend to keep him there, but given their depth at the position and relative weakness at SG, I can easily see him going back to the off-guard next season. If he can add a three point shot to his arsenal, he'll be near-unstoppable on the offensive end.

ClutchOff 75 (Hidden Rating)

Outlook: Sixth man for a team with lots of depth. Good scorer, but doesn't make his teammates better and isn't much of a defensive player.

Quickness 69

Standing Dunk 75

Outlook: One of the Warriors' few big men, and probably the best defensive player on the team. Had a breakout season in shot blocking, and they'll need similar production if they hope to contend for the playoffs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Anthony Randolph (PF/C)

In Traffic 65
Quickness 76 (up from 73)
Hustle 92
Hands 76
Ball Defense 65
Standing Dunk 75

Outlook: A player whose athletic talents allow him to dominate summer league, but who needs to greatly improve upon his shooting to do it at the NBA level. A bit stuck between positions defensively as he is pushed around by PFs and can't keep up with SFs. Off the top of my head, the only PFs with his quickness and ball handling ability are KG, Odom, Dirk, Rashard Lewis... it's a pretty good group.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Kelenna Azubuike (SG/SF)

Off Dribble 80
In Traffic 69
Quickness 82
Hustle 86

Standing Dunk 50

Outlook: Looking like the best D-League call-up ever. An athletic shooter tailor-made for a Don Nelson team.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Stephen Curry (PG/SG)

Quickness 85
Hustle 71

Ball Defense 74
Standing Dunk 50

Outlook: Curry is a good shooter, though he probably got a bit overrated during the draft process. He'll function more as a spot-up shooter in the NBA, where his average passing ability keeps him between positions a bit.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

C.J. Watson (PG/SG)
Overall 77
Close 78 (down from 82)

Quickness 91

Ball Defense 79
Standing Dunk 50

Outlook: Currently has a slew of teams interested, but the Warriors are expected to match any offer sheet. Solid backup though he should see less time with Stephen Curry and a healthy Monta around.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Marco Belinelli (SG/SF)
Overall 77 (down from 79)
Close 81 (up from 78)

Outlook: Probably needs a trade to get his career going. Not a better athlete than Azubuike, and not a better shooter than Morrow.

EDIT: Hey, not bad. Same day I write this, he gets traded.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Outlook: Led the league in 3pt% last season. Doesn't bring much else to the court, however.

Outlook: Has been unwanted by coach and GM since day 1. With the emergence of Randolph, it's tough to see Wright getting much of a shot now, despite the Warriors lack of size up front.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Standing Dunk 50

Outlook: Has played a total of 44 games over the last three seasons due to injuries. Says he is healthy, but there's good reason for skepticism. Should be his last season in the league if all goes as expected.

Outlook: Sucked in Atlanta, sucked in summer league, and is going to the team that buried Marcus Williams. Could be his last season in the league if he doesn't show something fast.

Outlook: George has been really bad since knee injuries robbed him of some athleticism. If he gets lots of minutes, the season was another failure for the Warriors.
