In a attempt to try and fill the void at the point guard spot that Monta Ellis created with his recent injury, the Golden State Warriors have added a fourth point guard to their roster. According to sources, six year journeyman Dan Dickau has signed with the team today, but the terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed.
Now, the Warriors’ repertoire of point guards include: Monta Ellis, Marcus Williams, C.J. Watson and recently signed Dan Dickau. Once Ellis returns, the Warriors will only keep three of their four guards on the roster. According to Coach Don Nelson, for now, C.J. Watson is the leading candidate for the starting position – while Dickau and Marcus share playing time.
My question is: Who is C.J. Watson and why is he the leading candidate for the starting position? The only reason (I would assume) is loyalty to someone who has a year under Coach Nelson already. In my eyes, the Warriors have a “diamond in the rough” with Marcus Williams and he will soon become the starting guard. With his ability to see the floor well, drive to the basket, and shoot from the outside, Marcus is a rising star. Did I forget to mention he spent the first two years learning from Jason Kidd, one of the best point guards in the league and a future Hall of Famer. Your heard it here on NBA Rumors first! Marcus Williams will blow up!!!
