Etc, etc. I haven't sen him discussed much in Golden State pre-season discussions, and I guess rightly so, but I wonder if he could be a guy that really steps it up this year.

With the centers we've had in recent history--Todd Fuller, Alton Lister, Rony Seiakly, Uwe Blab, Paul Mokeski--we're a tad reluctant to herald our centers.
In all seriousness, though, I think we're taking the same wait-and-see approach the Warriors are w.r.t. Biedrins. No doubt, we ALL feel sky's the limit with this guy. Entering this season, major concerns regarding Biedrins were foul trouble, free throw shooting, and strength. I doubt there are many here who
WOULDN'T want to see him take the starting nod from Foyle--but that's only if he can hold his own defensively in the middle, as Foyle provides the right defensive presence to counter the lack of D from Murphy and Dunleavy.
