The San Jose Mercury News' Mark Emmons has a nice article about the Golden State Warriors crop of rookies.  Troy Murphy, Gilbert Arenas and Jason Richardson have a lot of attitude but it seems to be the right kind -- work hard and compete hard.  Dave Cowens really like what he sees in all three players. ``They don't feel like anything has been given to them,'' Cowens explains. ``It's very unusual that you find that kind of attitude in pro athletes, and somehow we got three players who act this way.''

Assistant coach Phil Hubbard says, "I looked out on the court and I saw something completely different from the previous summer," he says. "I saw real players. All three of those guys were fantastic."
