Harrington turns to Aguirre, Moncrief's larger role and Anthony Randolph, a natural power forward

September 30, 2:12 PM
 
 
Most of the talk at Warriors training camp has centered on uncertainty in the team's front office and the injury to Monta Ellis.

And rightfully so. Those are important issues. But let's talk some basketball: 

♦ Forward Al Harrington’s conditioning has been encouraging. Harrington said he did some mixed martial arts training this summer and also worked out with Mark Aguirre.

Harrington asked Aguirre to specifically help him with his post-up game, an area of great need for the Warriors. Coach Don Nelson has used Harrington primarily as a spot-up 3-point shooter.

Harrington said that before he and Aguirre would start drill work, they played one-on-one to get loose.

“He won a couple of games,” Harrington said of the now-even-wider-bodied Aguirre. “He’s just so strong. And he cheats, too.”
 


Sidney Moncrief: Full-fledged assistant coach

 

♦ ♦ Over the summer, the Warriors sent out word to the media that Sidney Moncrief’s title was changing from shooting coach to assistant coach.

Moncrief was brought on last season to help with the team's free-throw problems.

On Monday, Nelson said Moncrief’s role will increase this season, and he's been more participatory on the practice floor.

Moncrief’s new role will come at a cost, however.

To accommodate Moncrief, assistant coach Stephen Silas will be moving to behind the bench. 

Moncrief played under Don Nelson in Milwaukee.  
 


Randolph: Won't be playing three in Nellie's coaching lifetime

 

♦ ♦ ♦ When the Warriors selected the long and lean Anthony Randolph with the No. 14 pick this summer, some optimists suggested he would be playing minutes at small forward.

Maybe so, but not in Nellie’s coaching lifetime.

“I think he has the ability to be a three some day and an awful good one,” Nelson said. “Probably four  is more of a natural position and it’s a little easier to play.

" I would think at 6-foot-10, that after being in the league three or four years he could play multiple positions depending on how he develops how to run games and how to be a point forward, which I think he has the skill to do.”
