The Official Washington Wizards Thread

If Odalipo can play SF I would take him even if we had the 1st overall selection, I think he is a complete beast and I love watching him, he will be a great player in the NBA. I also obviously like Otto Porter and would be excited to have him on board with us, I like his offensive game and of course the rebounds, which are very good considering he is about 19 years old. He could add some weight to his frame and beef up for the NBA but besides that he looks like a homerun pick.

Shabazz and Noel is where things get interesting. Shabazz is a volume scorer with I think a bit of a selfish/ego disposition to him, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Teams want a guy who wants the ball at the end of the game and they want a guy who can step up and also have unwavering confidence in himself, which describes Shabazz to a T (MJ and Kobe have the exact same mentality, it's what winners naturally possess). I wouldn't call Shabazz a chucker in the vein of Crawford or Young, because his FG% is pretty decent, especially from 3. I wouldn't be torn up about picking him since it would give this team a new found offensive game. I think Shabazz is a gamble, to be honest. He could be really good or really bad, in general.

Noel just tore an ACL, and he also needs to add strength to his frame because he is pretty lanky for his size right now. He has great potential and it is very rare to get a defensive big man with his skill set, even if he will never really be an offensive juggernaut.

My rankings for our short list would be:
1. Victor Oladipo
2. Otto Porter
3. Nerlens Noel
4. Shabazz Muhammad
5. Ben McLemore
6. Anthony Bennett

We shouldn't fall below 6th in the draft posistion.

Woah, Vesely getting early minutes.


90 seconds in and he's not doing much to help his cause.

[stevemcqueen1]

Vesely is already in the game.

Whose in the doghouse now? Probably Singleton after that stinker in the last game.

[Fight4RGIII]

I hope Jan doesn't wonder why he doesn't get playing time

[stevemcqueen1]

Well that probably ends Vesely's minutes for March.

Seraphin is my guess

[Fight4RGIII]

And just like that...THE JAN IS BACK!

[stevemcqueen1]

Look at Ves!

Hmm, he could be a really good PnR defender if he could actually get on the floor. Nice little PnR finisher too.

[mmzznnxx]

I don't know about that being a charge, but cool to see Jan score a basket.

[stevemcqueen1]

Well Seraphin is out there. Must be because Nene is hurt.

[StillUnknown]

He wasn't set at all, but its nice to see a bad call go against the other team for a change.

[Skins199021]

Price should see no more than 4 minutes at a time

[Fight4RGIII]

We are going to have to find some bench depth for next season.

[StillUnknown]

If we lose Webster to FA, Dorrell Wright wouldn't be a bad pickup.


*right after this was posted, Wright shoots an airball on a ridiculously bad shot*

Martell seems like a really cool dude. I hope we keep him. But I'm afraid we're going to have to pay too much. Martell on the MLE isn't the best value.
