The Warriors number one draft pick broke his foot and will be out 4-6 weeks. Even worst is that fact that centers typically have foot problems later in their careers, so this may not bode well for O'Bryant. How typical for the team with the worst luck when it comes to healthy centers.
It's uncanny how much center trouble Golden State has had. They're center woes began when they traded Robert Parrish and the third pick in the draft(which the Celtics used to pickKevin McHale) for the rights to draft J.B. Carroll at number one. The Celtics went on to win three championships and the Warrriors began a run of mediocrity that continues to this day.
Sure they made the playoffs a couple of times since then, but only the Clippers have been worst than the Warriors and they've finally gotten things turned around. Meanwhile, GS is going backwards with the return of Don Nelson and another sore-footed center. Unbelievable.
