The well-improved Andris Biedrins had reached an agreement with the Golden State Warriors and was retained for a six-year contract worth more that $62 million.
Last season, Biedrins averaged career-highs 10.5 points and 9.8 rebounds; he had led the NBA in field-goal percentage of 62.6%. He was drafted eleventh overall in the 2004 NBA draft. Biedrins has improved his scoring average in each of his seasons with Golden State, developing from a skinny rebounding specialist into an all-around player and a low-post scorer for the uptempo Warriors.
The team will surely put him in the starting lineup along with Monta Ellis, Stephen Jackson, Corey Maggette, and Al Harrington. Warriors will surely be an explosive team in the league next season.
