In his third year, Biedrins got a lucky break when the Warriors decided to replace coach Mike Montgomery with ex-Dallas Mavericks coach Don Nelson, elected one of the NBA's "Top Ten All Time Coaches". Nelson needed just five games to bench the consistently underperforming Warriors' center Adonal Foyle and give Biedrins the starting spot on center, calling him "the best big man I've got". Biedrins thrived in his new role, posting up impressive averages of 10.3 points on an incredible .621 field goal percentage (1st in the NBA), 9.5 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game and earning himself 28.9 minutes of playtime. His breakthrough game came in November 2006, when the Warriors beat the title favorites San Antonio Spurs 119-111. In this match, Biedrins asserted himself against Spurs superstar Tim Duncan, only being narrowly outscored 18-22 and outrebounded 15-16, but did block six shots, including three straight shot attempts by Duncan in the third quarter.
