Tyreke Evans, Dorrell Wright talks NBA news at the Drew League

Dorell Wright on teammate Monta Ellis, whose future with the Warriors is once again in doubt:

"[Trade rumors] are part of it. I spoke to him recently. It's part of the game. Your name is always going to be talked about when you're one of the best players in the league. It's just part of the business, and I think he's pretty cool with that."

On draft picks Klay Thompson (taken at No. 11 out of Washington State) and center Jeremy Tyler (No. 39 pick):

"I liked [the draft picks]. Jeremy Tyler is a friend from L.A., and Klay Thompson is a shooter who will definitely help us spread the floor, so I think it's going to work out real well. I think [Tyler] can [reach his potential]. He brings toughness, and that's something you can't teach. Everything else you can teach. He's very fundamentally sound. There are still some things in his game he needs to work on, but the toughness he brings is definitely going to work out."

Tyreke Evans 0n the plantar fasciitis in his left foot that kept him out of 19 games late last season after he underwent a laser procedure in mid-February:

"I'm 100 percent. My foot is fine. I'm just looking for this year to start and to go out there and play. When it's time, I'll go out there and just play like I played my first year in the league. [Last season] I was [always] thinking about it."

On the new-look roster, which now includes veteran small forward John Salmons, young big man J.J. Hickson and rookie guard Jimmer Fredette, and no longer includes veteran point guard Beno Udrih and two-year small forward Omri Casspi:

"It's a great look. Young team, up-and-coming. We had a knock on us that we're always young, but you don't want to always keep hearing that. We want to be a winning team. We just added pieces to the puzzle.

"We've got Jimmer, who's a great player and can shoot from anywhere if you watch his highlights. We've got J.J., who's a great player from Cleveland, and we got Salmons, a great '3' man, a great wing man to have out there."

On whether he can blend his offensive style with that of Salmons, Fredette and guard Marcus Thornton (who is a restricted free agent but is expected to be re-signed):

"Definitely. I can score and I pass. I can do it all. I don't need to score. As long as we win, I'm happy. I've been winning all my life, and I'm not used to losing. We don't know yet [who will be the point guard]. The point or the shooting guard is good for me. I'm good at either spot, so if I get the ball on the rebound if I'm at the '2,' I get up and go and bring it up. Whatever coach Paul [Westphal] wants me to do, I'll do."
