After four years in the NBA, Aldrich has spent time on three different teams. He hasn’t been able to find success with any of those teams, but he was drafted in the first round for a reason.
Aldrich is only 24 years old and is 6’11”. If the Warriors want to stay away from older or injury-prone players, Aldrich seems like a decent choice. There hasn’t been much buzz surrounding him this off-season, so the Warriors could probably wait and pick him up if one of their other choices doesn’t work out.
Aldrich can’t be any worse than Biedrins was – and he would come at a much more reasonable price.
