The Official Washington Wizards Thread

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

I'm not a shooting coach but it looks to me like his arm is directly in front of his face and his release is both low and late.

That double clutch thing he does is just brutal. It's like Shawn Marion with a double clutch. Ugly upon ugly.

I couldn't decide if he was double clutching or just really damn late in his release. I went with late. lol

Everyone needs to stop posting for about 31 hours.

Lol, a pause or hesitation might be a better way to describe. It's weird.

You need to be fluid with your shot. Straight up, as you're still going up and set to hit the peak (NOT stop at the peak of your jump and then shoot it), follow through, middle finger putted at the center of the basket, aim for the back of the rim, so on and so forth. MKG is just all sorts of ****ed up.

Whoever wins the lottery is someone we wouldn't suspect like Detroit or Portland. Maybe even Brooklyn...

[Destino]

Wizards will win the lottery damnit. We deserve this!

[stevemcqueen1]

Yeah that little dip is ugly, but his shot isn't shawn marion ugly. Nobody's is.

Random question would anyone trade Wall and next years #1 for the top lottery pick if we don't get it?

Not a sermon just a thought....

If it is Brooklyn or New Orleans, I am convinced it is fixed.

Wouldn't this basically be setting yourself back?

Would we keep this year's #1?

It wouldn't really matter if we did. I still wouldn't do it. Davis is great but Wall has the best raw talent for a PG in the league. PGs are so important. When would we find a replacement that could put us in better shape than we're in moving forward with Wall? I think it'd be hard.

I think we're better off keeping that first pick for someone like MKG or Drummond, keeping Wall, and using the pick next season then starting over with Davis and no PG.

Too high a price IMO.

If we were an attractive spot for free agents I might feel different, but putting Davis on our current roster with only Crawford as a credible guard player is a recipe for disaster. Even with that deal, we'll still be a lottery team, only we don't get the reap the benefits since our pick would be gone.

You would be betting the future on the ability of luring free agents to play in DC, something that hasn't been the easiest thing in the world.

With Del Negro staying, Scott Brooks has lost a great deal of leverage in contract talks with OKC. Wizards likely to keep Randy Wittman.


I'm sure those free agents will be lining up to play for Wittman.

It's almost like he is shooting when he starts coming down from the peak of his jump.

Drummond has lost 22 pounds since ending the season. He's at 268 now. He's very quick laterally for a big guy. VERY QUICK

Truncated workout for Drummond. Coming off a bout of food poisoning. Nice guy. Working hard. Has crazy upside if he can put it all together
