Kelenna Azubuike exercises his player option making him a Golden State Warrior next season

26-year old SG/SF Kelenna Azubuike has picked up his player option for the 2010-2011 season worth $3.3 million bucks. He will be worth that money if he is healthy as he is recovering from knee surgery that ruined his 2009-2010 season. Azubuike played in 9 games (7 starts) for the Warriors last season and he averaged 25.7 minutes, 13.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. He has now played in 205 games (83 starts) in his career with the Warriors and he is averaging 24.4 minutes, 10.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. Auzbuike made a smart business decision as he wasn’t going to get that kind of money on the open market.
