Randolph, drawing rare start, blocks eight shots

NEW ORLEANS — In just his second start of the season, second-year man Anthony Randolph gave the Warriors an immediate defensive presence inside.

Randolph started at center and finished with a career-high eight blocks in the Warriors' 108-102 loss Wednesday to the New Orleans Hornets. It was the most blocks by a Warrior since Adonal Foyle had nine against New York on Feb. 21, 2003.

Randolph's six first-quarter blocks were two off the team record for a quarter.

"I feel the (previous) couple games I did poorly on defense," said Randolph, whose previous career-high was five blocks in a game against San Antonio in March. "I kind of took it upon myself to come out here and try to control the paint and help my teammates out as much as I can when they got beat."

Randolph also had 12 points and eight rebounds but he was 5-for-14 from the field. Warriors coach Don Nelson said he recognized the eight blocks, but he couldn't help but notice the nine missed shots by Randolph.

"I thought his effort was good," Nelson said. "I wish he could've made a few more shots, because he certainly had a lot of them. I don't know why he was hesitant. Certainly nothing that we tell him. It makes it a more complicated situation than it is. It's pretty simple. When you're open, shoot. When you're not, drive. But, anyway, he's still 20 years old."

This kid has never played with pros before the NBA, Lamar odom even said this kid is going to be a ALL-PRO one day. Get away from nellie and I beleive it will come to frution.

GS fans says :“Attention NBA: be sure to check out Anthony Randolph in the next few games. We are showcasing him for a trade with Corey Maggette, whom you already know. Operators are standing by to take your call. Nelson is a complete jerk. Randolph has been treated like dirt for most of the time by the lousy bully. Why on earth can anyone think Belly is a good coach. Everybody know Randolph is one of the better players on the team.

This is actually a pretty good trade....Makes too much sense to work, however.

It's not about comparing Dirk Nowitzki to Gallinari as rookies. For a player to develop into a Dirk Nowitzki-level star is simply very rare, which is MVP, perennial all-star and a hall of famer. There are a ton of players who were much better than Dirk Nowitzki as rookies who never even reached all-star status.

It is a very small chance that Gallinari becomes Dirk Nowitzki because either you are a Dirk Nowitzki or you are not.

oohah

I dont know if this is a well known fact, but Dirk has worked his A$$ off every offseason of his career. The summertime Curry (and as far as I see it, a lot of other million dollar earning NBA players) used for Playstation and Burger King, Dirk spend in the Gym. 1000 mid range shots a day for a summer, will result in a quasi unstoppable fade away...

That is the most important reason Im thinking Gallo will indeed be a really special player: He has the right mentallity to see that beeing great requires hard work. If his back hold up he will be fine because he will work to become a great player.

I dont even go at the one-trick-pony comments, whoever has really watched him play knows he is doing more than shoot 3s.

Last thing: Every time i've seen him becoming mad about a no-call/missed free throw/whatever, good things happened...

Wowzers.

It's all a matter of timing.

These numbers don't support your argument that Randolph is a superstar in the making, while Gallo is a one trick pony.

It's supports it if you know how Randolph is getting jerked around in G.S and still putting up similar numbers. If he played for any other team (with a coach playing games) You would see how dominant he could be. Gallanari is being treated like a son , Randolph being treated like a dog.

You know what's funny--they actually could be good players going with each other on the same team. You could move Randolph to C for us Lee to PF or vice versa with Galliari on the frontline. The problem is we dont have anything remotely close in talent to give up for Randolph. This is a scenario where we are lucky to have Gallinari instead of a DJ Augustine etc... and were also lucky that he is not a bag of broken goods which Im sure many mightve thought last year. Anyone who says Gallinari>Randolph --no brainer has to be kidding themselves and on the other side Gallinari has proven he is up there in talent as well. So instead of crying spilled milk---we are lucky that he is healthy and is a nice solid young player who should only get better. It's like saying I have 2.75$ and Im crying because you have 3.00 or which ever way that goes. My only problem with Gallo is that I hope he decides to take many less 3 and concentrate on the mid-range/driving game
