We'll talk about some of the Warriors players who could be on the bubble to make the roster next year. Before we start, Charles, we're talking about this because

Steve Kerr, on his conference call with reporters earlier this week, said that he was looking

for a big leap from some of the young players who hope to crack next year's rotation.

You know, most players really see a huge jump early in their careers once they've kind of

settled in and had a solid year under their belt.

And so, you know, I'm looking for a big lead forward for some of our younger players

to the point where, you know, they can get into our rotation.

Now, who that is, that's up to them.

You know, they have to earn that next year in camp and exhibition season and all of that.

But that's what we're really looking for.

So with that said, I want to go through some of these guys and talk about their chances to make the team, let alone be part of the rotation.

And so when you look at next year's roster, I figure 11 or 12 spots are spoken for leaving three or four spots up for grabs.

Let's start with Juan Tiscono Anderson, who joined the team in February, impressed coaches with his

two-way play. He could play both forward spots, which they like. He can guard a bit on the

perimeter. But he's sort of got this master of none quality, sort of like Alfonso McKinney,

and we saw what happened to him. Yeah, absolutely. As much as I like Juan Tiscano Anderson,

I think, and I'm sure Steve Kerr loves him again,

the kind of player and guy, Steve Kerr, I would absolutely love.
