Dunleavy Gets Booed in Oakland

A few years ago Dunleavy was pegged as the next Larry Bird. The year he declared himself as eligible for the draft, there was a lot of talk that Dunleavy didn?t want to get selected by the Golden State Warriors. Dunleavy has struggled during his first three seasons in the NBA. Known as a pure shooter, Dunleavy hasn?t been shooting the ball with the same accuracy he did in college.

This season things escalated to the point where fans are booing him, and he is becoming the center of attention in Oakland. He is likely going to be one of the 1st guys in this new Warriors group traded. The good news is Ike Diogu is starting for the Warriors now in place of Adonal Foyle, and getting the job done.

?All-Energy? Ike is exactly the catalyst the Warriors need to get back in a groove and as he gets his feel for starting, the Warriors should be a better team for it. Don?t be surprised if Mike Jr. and Adonal become a package deal, as the Warriors try to separate themselves in a very crowed Pacific division.
