There is no question that when it comes to scoring points, Don Nelson is simply one of the best coaches at getting his to team to do that. However, when it comes to defense, Nelson and his Warriors are terrible and now the question looms. Will they ever get it? No matter how good you are offensively and how many points you can score, you have to get defensive tops to win on a consistent basis in this league. The Warriors ended the 2008-09 season with a record of 23-59 and will find themselves picking 7th overall and with a new General Manager running the show, one would have to wonder if he’ll try and change the image and landscape of the Warriors.

As previously mentioned, the Warriors have the 7th pick in the draft and everyone knows how much Don Nelson loves his shooters and the idea of Stephen Curry being able to shoot it from anywhere with consistent basis might be something Nelson and the Warriors cannot turn down. They will more than likely select a point guard and Stephen Curry and Brandon Jennings would make sense for them, but for entirely different reasons. The decision of whether you want your point guard to be able to score at will or wanting a point guard who can get the ball to your shooters you already have is a decision that new General Manager Larry Riley will have to make.
