The Official Washington Wizards Thread

In that Drummond video "weaknesses" segment where the guy is just taking all kinds of bad shots around the rim, no credit seems to be given to the fact he's utterly mauling all of those dudes when he backs them down. He gave one guy a bump that sent him off court. The kid is an absolute freak. How can he not go second overall?

Aren't there questions about his desire to be good/great and questions about him seemingly disappearing in big games?

No way to know who the pick is since we won't know what Charlotte will do with Cleveland's offer on the table. I think you are safe being here.

Yeah. There is no telling what to believe at this point.

Charlotte is really holding the keys to the top six right now. I think that slot ends up being TRob or Beal with an outside chance at Drummond. No telling what team makes that pick though.

Does the draft start at 7:30 or 8?

7:30

at work...anyone have a legal stream for the draft?

I'm not convinced it's a desire issue so much as it's a "doesn't know how to play the game yet" issue. Look at all the points in his favor and they're derived from instinct and natural ability--finishing, shotblocking, offensive rebounding. Then look at his weaknesses and they are all from inexperience and lack of awareness--defensive rebounding, lack of go to offensive moves, passing/decision making.

If he ever puts it all together though, watch out. He's even bigger and more powerful than Dwight Howard and Amare Stoudemire. And he's faster and more explosive than Andrew Bynum.

Who is everyone's favorite pick at three?

Who does everyone think will be the pick at three?

Personally my favorite pick is T Rob. He and MKG are the ones I'd have my heart set on and enjoy rooting for the most.

I think the pick will be Barnes though.

Andy Katz saying that Wiz would take T. Rob if Charlotte trades away the #2 pick and Beal is off the board.

Could just be a smoke screen though.

I like TRob but we have a massive cluster**** of bigs as it is.

[Fight4RGIII]

1. Beal
2. MKG
3. T-Rob

Happy with any of them.

[No Excuses]

I wish we were getting Unibrow.

Agreed. It would make the New Orleans trade look even worse.

[No Excuses]

My wishlist is MKG, T-Rob and then Beal.

I don't think you should pass up a legit PF because of a cluttered roster. And to be honest, besides Nene, this team doesn't really have any NBA quality PF's.
