I was never a fanboi. Even back in his under twenties days, there were a few things about his play that I could never reconcile what we got out of him with the million dollar price tag.
But he is one of ours, so when he went to the Sharks I kept following him, because I knew he was an excellent player talent wise, and I was curious about whether he could learn to organize a game in an Aussie system.
He is a much better player than the one who left us, and he is coming at a price where the Warriors have won the long game.
The Warriors never wanted to lose him. He refused to take seven hundred and fifty grand.
Now the boy is coming home the man, he is the right type of half now, the player this team is missing, and the Warriors won here, Shaun has had to humble himself, which is a credit to him, and a credit to the Warriors culture.
