"Earlier this season, Warriors head coach Mark Jackson offered this warning to rookie project Jeremy Tyler: "Your moment can come at any point. You can take off running with it, or you can backtrack."

That moment apparently has come, and, if the Warriors' transactions this week are any indication, Tyler has taken off running. Kwame Brown is out for the season after pectoral surgery, and Earl Barron was waived Monday - making Tyler the only backup center on the roster."
