Brandan Wright, Nellie and the Warriors: It’s a start

Posted Jan 5, 2008

Quick weekend note (let’s see if anybody reads this stuff on a Saturday), thanks to Don Nelson’s surprise decision to start rookie forward Brandan Wright in tonight’s loss to New Orleans…Five minutes to start the game starting alongside Andris Biedrins on the front line, a few minutes at the end, four rebounds, two baskets (one at the start on a lob from Baron Davis, one at the meaningless end) and five points. (San Jose Mercury News)
