To some degree yeah, but that doesn't mean much when the Wizards had the 22nd ranked offense this season. :manny:

I meant in the playoffs

I know Toronto had a bad defense but I didn't expect Wittless to make adjustments. And then Game 1 vs. ATL was just eye opening with how he controlled the game.

I wouldn't be mad if we drafted a PG who can actually not be a liability on the court

Wall needs to develop into a reliable, top tier scorer. Or the Wizards have to go find someone that will give them that lift offensively.

That's Beal.


They need a better PF that can space the floor and rebound, Gooden was huge during the playoffs for them and he's honestly not that good of a player, but the spacing he gave them and just being better than Nene at this point was enough.

I'm hoping Bobby Portis is there at #19.

And I hope Humphries can shoot a good percentage from 3. He's been practicing his 3 ball all year and would have been a legit option if Wittless used him with Nene and Gooden not scoring the last couple nights.

Gooden wasn't a 3 point shooter until last year.

Someone between Looney, Portis and Lyles will be there, there's always the chance Turner could slip as well.

The real question is will you take a PF :lupe:

:to: With this guy making the picks, I have a feeling he dumps the pick with Martell Webster for Ersan Ilyasova

Ersan isn't bad, but those gusy have the potential to be better :francis:

Especially on a rookie deal as the cap jumps :mjcry:

For once, I want them to actually use both draft picks and give young players a chance. We only have 3 young guys worth a damn and they were top 3 picks. :smh:

That 49th pick is probably just going to be a draft and stash, but you definitely need to take a PF, DX has you taking Looney and with how your team is structured he does seem to fit, even though Portis will probably be better.

Yeah, I prefer Portis to Looney.

Portis has an NBA body right now, can hit shots and face up, good on the offensive glass, and he is solid defensively.

Hopefully he can work on his postgame and footwork at the next level.
