i wish the wizards get someone like derrick williams. he would be a great PF better than jared sullinger in my opinion

i'm not sure he's big enough to play the 4 in the league, he's a tweener

[skinfan2k]

derrick williams is actually taller than sullinger

[Dukes and Skins]

Been looking around on sites and he's been getting compared to David West who's a 4 for New Orleans

Also just some things I've noticed draft wise

NBADraft.net has us taking Kyrie Irving(don't see it happening) but has Perry Jones going #9 Derrick Williams #1 and Terrence Jones #10. Would love to some how come away with Williams and a guy like Perry Jones if we could trade back up for another lottery pick.

Derrick Williams is a little slender and finesse to be a fulltime 4. He's about as much a power forward as Serge Ibaka is a center. West is a soft tweener too.

If we're looking for a combo forward, I like Terrence Jones the best. He plays hard and is a good athlete and rebounder. He's quick and strong and even has some post moves. He's looked the best of the freshman forwards on a consistent basis. Barnes is a better pure 3, but Jones gives us value at multiple positions.

I want Sullinger though.

Also D&S, that mock is insane if it thinks we'll take Kyrie Irving after taking Wall. My guess is they were just doing a mock draft based on rankings rather than a serious analysis of team needs.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

nbadraft.net's mock is just a ranking of the players. Not how they think the actual draft will shake out.

P.S. nbadraft.net is pretty garbage outside of a quick overview. It serves its purpose hut its not to be taken too serious (I think their most famous moment is putting Michael Jordan as D Steezy's player comparison.) I much prefer draftexpress.com

The Michael Jordan comparison isn't even the funniest part. Look at his strengths. Super character....really?

[No Excuses]

Great ball handler. Excellent shooter and scorer.

Stevenson based on many metric systems grades out as a top 5 worst offensive player of ALL time. A hit and a miss on that draft profile.

thats enough justification for them to get out of the drafting business

[B55Green]

Much like the Redskins, this is a different team this half, absolutely love it. Got over that 10 point deficit that always seems to kill their hopes and they actually played some damn good defense today. Smart shots and surprisingly they made the important free throws. Very pleased with a well deserved hard earned win.

[WALL-LE]

Crawford is a beast with wall.
Wall's jumper has improved greatly throughout the season, he was knocking them down with ease today
Mcgee had a good game

[No Excuses]

Wall and Booker are really coming into their own. I'm liking Jordan Crawford as well. He's raw but he plays with a mean streak and he's not afraid of taking charge.

Wall is averaging something like 18, 7 and 6 for the month. He's a ridiculous rebounder for his age, size and position. In the near future he could be the first player since Chris Paul to finish the season with a 20, 10 and 5 stat line.

Please get him a legitimate front court and a good young energetic coach.

I loved the fact that Wall was ready to put the team on his back down the stretch

dude's got all the characteristics you want in a franchise player

we played kinda sloppy in the first half, but actually managed to dominate 3rd quarter for a change.

Can't wait to see how good Wall is with better players around him

[B55Green]

Still think he can win rookie of the year?
