30-year old power forward Vladimir Radmanovic is off to a awful start for the Warriors. He has played in 15 games (3 starts) for the Warriors so far this year and he is averaging 14.7 minutes, 4.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. Radmanovic is only 25 of 74 (33.8%) shooting from the floor so far this year and if he doesn’t start shooting better, head coach Keith Smart is going to nail his butt to the bench.

24-year old center Andris Biedrins had a rough time in 2009-10 with the Warriors so he’s trying to make up for it this year. Biedrins has played in 11 games (all starts) for the Warriors so far this year and he is averaging 26.8 minutes, 6.1 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. He is shooting 51.6% from the floor (mostly on put backs and dunks) but he’s only shooting 14.3% from the free throw line (1 of 7). It’s kind of odd that Biedrins has been playing so close to the basket and still has only attempted 7 free throws this season.

The Warriors don’t have much P.T. available for their rookies this year unless the team suffers a lot of injuries. 22-year old point guard Jeremy Lin has played in 6 games (0 starts) for the Warriors this year and he is averaging 8.8 minutes, 1.2 points, 0.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game. With the depth the Warriors have at point guard, Lin isn’t going to get much P.T. this year. 24-year old forward Jeff Adrien has played in 5 games (0 starts) this year for the Warriors and he is averaging 9.2 minutes, 2.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game.

The Warriors with be without starting power forward David Lee for a couple of weeks due to a infected left elbow. This is a huge blow to the Warriors. Lee has played in 8 games (all starts) so far this year and he is averaging 34.6 minutes, 14.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.1 steals per game. The Warriors will miss his rebounding while he is out of action. Brandan Wright will likely replace Lee in the starting lineup. He has played in 7 games (1 start) for the Warriors so far this year and he is averaging 13.1 minutes, 5.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, 0.3 assists and 1.0 blocked shot per game. Vladimir Radmanovic will also likely see a bump in P.T. with Lee out of action. He has played in 9 games (0 starts) for the Warriors so far this year and he is averaging 12.4 minutes, 3.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.

The Warriors won with defense last night holding the Jazz to 39.5% shooting from the floor. Monta Ellis led the way for the Warriors in this game with 23 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 7 steals. Stephen Curry also had a decent game last night with 20 points, 1 rebound, 6 assists and 2 steals. David Lee (14 points, 15 rebounds and 1 assist) and Andris Biedrins (8 points and 20 rebounds) really gave the Warriors an impressive game in the paint. The Warriors are now 4-1 on the year.
