8. Adonal Foyle, Golden State, power forward, 6-9, 263, Colgate. Outstanding shot blocker (NCAA all-time shot blocker)

 I blocked a 12 year old kids inbounds pass and shot at a Warriors season ticket holder event 5 years ago. So maybe that makes me the Warriors all time season ticket holder even shot blocker.  It sounds like quite the little resume stuffer, might be good for a fat long term contract. 

 and rebounder but needs work on his shooting and inside game. Has a nice little outside jumper but his touch around the basket has been questioned. An interesting prospect who was a center in college but is too raw to get excited about right away.

 Or even hard to get excited about nearly 10 years later. 

"You are tempted to pick a lot of players," said new coach P.J. Carlesimo. "There is a great up-side to McGrady (who was still available). But I think the biggest problem for us, putting aside the factor of age, is what we have available now. McGrady's got a chance to be a great player, but I think Foyle is going to be an excellent player and will help us sooner."

 Wrong Gary, it would be difficult to be so wrong, in fact the only person more wrong than you was Twardelman in picking Todd Fuller over Kobe for what sounds like the same exact reason. 

 Foyle averaged 20 points, 13 rebounds and six blocks per game during his three years at Colgate. Golden State now can trade unhappy forward Joe Smith.

  Yes, I am aware that posting this is like kicking a puppy, but it's the offseason, a time to reflect before we get overcome with excitement over being tied for first in the Pacific Division at 0-0.
