FYI...Wizards vs Portland replay on NBATV right now

[Skinned]

Just in case anyone wants to get a real look at our young guns....

Just saw Ramos throw one down!

NBA TV right now!

[joony11]

the two game highlights they have of the wizards are mostly just us playing defense (not really) and just getting beat by better players on the other team

meh, at least the ramos buckets were nice

[Skinned]

They decided to go into the post repeatedly to Ramos at one point and he wasn't bad. He has very solid hands and has caught a few bullet passes when he has sealed off a defender in the post. He was instrumental in the 4th quarter comeback.

Pecherov looks very solid on the boards. His offensive game is solid, but he seems to take a bunch of fade-aways and I can't recall him making any. He also has a nose for the ball and has made a couple of steals.

Because they don't really work the ball around or feed the post, there is no motion and multiple possessions end with perimeter jumpers. Roger Mason Jr looked decent in this game as well.

So who looks better Lemarcus Aldridge or Ramos? Or is it too close to call?

How is Andray looking?

And yeah, those NBA.com highlights are just highlights of the top ten players from the other teams, not our guys at all. I mean its not even us playing "defense" we had plenty of blocked shots and stuff, just not in those highlights.

I wouldnt' exactly call Aldridge "better" than Andray blatche though... Brandon Roy most likely could take every guard on our Sleauge team in a game of 5 on 1 and win.:mad:


Also this was OPs worst offensive game by far, so don't worry too much about his shot.

Blatche has athleticism oozing from him. When he gets anywhere inside the 3 point line he is two steps away from a dunk. He covers so much ground with his length that when he gets regular minutes in the NBA I can see him averaging 6-8 points a game just off taking a rebound the length of the court. He also gets fouled alot going to the hole because of his natural ability to shield his body from defenders. I believe that Ramos isnt as far off as we all thought either. I would say his game translates far better to the NBA than Aldridge. You definetly cant teach 7'3 with a soft touch. I believe Ramos can contribute this year for sure. I truely believe all three of these guys can. OP is a hustler. Twice I saw him miss 3's only to follow his shot and get a rebound put back.
