The Warriors have been eerily quiet during the offseason, as they're the only NBA team that hasn't made a deal since the season ended. Guard Jason Richardson was a surprise as the fifth overall pick because he is a shooting guard, the same position played by Larry Hughes. Head coach Dave Cowens says the team will try Hughes at point guard, which didn't work in Philadelphia. However, Cowens has had it with Mookie Blaylock, who was stripped of his captaincy last season when he skipped practice to play golf. Also, Bob Sura is an excellent third guard, because he can play both positions, and Vonteego Cummings has shown promise at the point.
Golden State thinks it can be better if it just stays healthy.
Danny Fortson was leading the league in rebounding until he got hurt. Jackson, Hughes, Sura, Chris Mills and Erick Dampier also missed considerable time with injuries. All Rights Reserved. Terms under which this service is provided to you. Read our privacy guidelines .
