After the preseason ended, following personnel cuts, the Warriors officially announced their roster for the 05/06 season:
Center: Kwame Brown, Adonal Foyle, Andris Biedrins.
Power Forward: Qin Yue, Troy Murphy, Zac Kabaka.
Small Forward: Mike Dunleavy, Jawad Williams.
Shooting Guard: Jason Richardson, Michael Pietrus.
Point Guard: Baron Davis, Jarrett Jack, Will Bynum, Aaron Miles.
Before the regular season starts, the return of "French Jordan" Pietrus, who was unexpectedly injured while representing the French Men's Basketball Team in the EuroBasket this summer, became the biggest positive news Qin Yue received after rectifying the Warriors' internal atmosphere.
Standing 6 feet 6 inches tall and weighing over 220 pounds, Pietrus possesses outstanding physical qualities and often showcases breathtaking dunks after cuts during games.
However, Pietrus's true specialty is his defense.
Especially one-on-one defense on the perimeter.
