Most Impressive Warriors player In Summer League? Jordan Ramirez:  Admittedly, the only fact I knew about Justin Holiday coming into Summer League was that he was the older brother of Jrue. The sibling connection was real, and so did the assumption that “he only is here because his brother is in the league.” Well, I was quickly proven wrong. Holiday possessed the ability to score like no one else on the tea ...

Festus Ezeli was selected with the last pick of the first round in the 2012 NBA Draft. He wasn't a popular name, but his selection assured the organization (and fans) that the team recognized its need for a formidable center to backup Andrew Bogut. Ezeli showed promise with stout interior defense, his ability to block shots and subsequently, filling in the role he was drafted for earlier than many thought h ...

Many discount the validity of summer league. It's natural. Amongst those playing, very few will become a productive, contributing member of an NBA team. Some do, and there are plenty of players who if not for their summer league performances (See: Anthony Morrow) would not be where they're at today.

One Trade to improve the Warriors this off-season? Danny Leroux: Acquiring Kevin Love. The Warriors would like to do this without Klay Thompson because he is their best asset the team would consider trading but I sincerely doubt the Wolves ship away their franchise player this summer without Klay being a part of the deal. Assuming Klay gets included eventually, I would like to see Zach LaVine come to the Ba ...

1) High point of Mark Jackson's tenure with the Warriors? Sam Esfandiari: The December 2012 road trip highlighted by a win in Miami.  Picking the playoff upset of Denver seems like the obvious choice, but that road trip was really the point that the league took notice of the Golden State Warriors.  The more casual bay area fans started to get excited about the Warriors again.  By January, Oracle started to ...

Andre Iguodala has been Klay Thompson's number one fan since they became teammates last summer.  Iguodala routinely praised Thompson throughout the 2013-14 season and spoke about getting Klay more shots in an effort to secure a bigger payday during the summer. Iguodala appeared on Sirius XM radio earlier today and again showered Thompson with praise along with making it clear that the Warriors shouldn't tra ...
