According to ESPN, the Golden State Warriors have signed SG/SF Rodney Carney to a one year deal. Carney, 26, has played 4 seasons in the NBA for Philadelphia and Minnesota. The former University of Memphis star is known for his athleticism and highlight reel dunks. He was the 16th overall pick in the 2006 draft but has not lived up to his potential.Signing with Golden State should be Carney's best opportunity yet to show what he can do. With Don Nelson's fast paced offense and inconsistent rotations, the Warriors have developed a reputation for unknown players making a name for themselves (see: Reggie Williams, Anthony Morrow, Anthony Tolliver, Rob Kurz). However, the Warriors are going through an ownership change and it is unclear whether Don Nelson will be on the sidelines come November.
Whether Nelson is there or not, this is a good signing by Golden State. They lacked depth at the wing, and Carney's athleticism, speed, and outside shot should be a perfect fit.
P.S. Do his shoulders look abnormally broad relative to the size of his head?
