John Wall needs his stretch 4.

This dude too, but we don't have the chips to get him this summer, and he'd take a back seat (for obvious reasons) in '16.

I like Portis at 19. Would love Dekker, but he'll be gone.

how much does Wall need to average per game

20 and 10?

Efficiency is more important than the ppg to me. Needs to develop a consistent jumpshot to take advantage of the space teams afford him on every possession. Developing a post up game makes sense as well because of his size. Last two postseasons he's been a below 40% shooter (Even before he busted his hand, in the Raps series he struggled with consistency) so he'll need to clean that up for the Wiz to really take that next leap.

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.

Potentially sure. And I'm not sure if the Raps will look to blow it up or no but Patrick Patterson would be a great stretch four for a lot of teams that need spacing including the Wiz. NOP might be willing to listen to offers for Ryan Anderson as well.

Wall has developed a post game over the last year or so. The problem is, the coach doesn't realize he can exploit it. Wall is a bigger PG and I've seen him score on the block and make passes from there ala Andre Miller. That's something he must have learned from him.

Patrick Patterson would be nice in DC and he has played with Wall in college.

To be honest, they got real young stars in Beal, Wall, Porter who would be there for a decade to come

Solution: Wait till they get older :yeshrug:

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Stretch 4 and an athletic 3


They got the athletic 3 already, Porter was looking like Shawn Marion lite out there.

1-3 for them is set in stone, they desperately need that stretch 4 to be someone athletic & capable of blocking shots and able to run with Wall in transition.

Big issue with guys suggesting Portis is that while I think he can be a good rotational player, he always seemed to play worse as the game went along, so him being starter material might not be the best thing.

Their options there are going to be Portis, Looney or Lyles with a very slim chance that Turner could slip to them. One of these PFs will be there for them to draft, Looney could be the best fit, but he's a long way off and Lyles is the safest but the upside doesn't seem to be there.

If Otto Porter can make a leap next year and they fire Wittman who knows

They need a good 3rd piece alongside Wall and Beal. Probably need to upgrade the front court too

:scust:at all the layups the Wiz gave up in the 4th last night

Wittman isn't going anywhere for a while. Front office is way too complacent and his playoff road record is going to give him a cushion.

I had high hopes for Otto and he showed great potential this year. Hopefully Humphries gets back into the rotation next year.
