On Friday afternoon, as Pietrus was finishing up his session with the media, he was asked: "How much different is it guarding Kobe Bryant than it is guarding LeBron James?""Man ...

Pietrus has been, by various accounts, a bust so far after being selected 11th overall in the 2003 draft. He continues to show flashes of brilliance but follows them with inexperience and poor performances. This year will definitely impact his future in the NBA, and the Warriors would be smart to hold off on an extension until after the season.
