Now if he can just learn some basic positioning on defense and rebounding. I still watch his game and think "even I know to put a body on the player near me when the shot goes up." I have hope for Javale, but he has a looooong way to go. He should get a bit of playing time this year since expectations for the Wiz won't really start growing until the 2011-12 season.

That's what passes for a trick shot these days? Yawn.

So Josh Howard is coming back, if he can recover from his knee injury he should make a solid small forward for the one year we've signed him for

Bargin....Had he not tore up his knee he had a $11.5 mil option, no way the team was going to pick that up.

He didn't do much back in tryouts but hopefully he does more if this turns out to be another limited opportunity for him. If he makes the 12 man roster good for him, if he doesn't, sucks but I'd rather see him play great for the Wizards than play good in the world championships and still not do anything in the NBA.

For a guy as raw as McGee, this is only good news. As much time as he can get with good coaches (although neither for the national team are stand-outs with big men) is fine with me. Having coaches with authority yell at him to box out and improve his defensive positioning is just what he needs. I like the kid, I think he'll improve this year.

McGee is back on Team USA. Chances are good he'll actually make the final roster since he's one of only two centers on the prelim roster right now. This can only be good for the guy and the 'Zards. Especially if he eats up his role as a defender and rebounder. He could be a Mutumbo type center if he did that. Plus his athleticism up and down the floor is basically unique for a guy his size.

McGee is raw yet, but if he continues to work hard and the Wizards exhibit a little patience with him, he could eventually be a force to deal with. He has tremendous athleticism, all he needs is to cotinue to play and gain that needed experience.

Not the Wizards, but OKC's Kristic could be in a lot of trouble for this.

Meanwhile...the Wizards are looking for a PA announcer, for those interested

Monkeydad · 08-20-2010, 11:04 AM

Don't mess with a man named Nenad.

Gilbert faked an injury to get Nick Young some minutes. Nice gesture for a friend, but not exactly what we want from a team leader.

Why did we not go after his contract last year?

Gilbert has become a major source of pain...who is worse, Albert or Gilbert?

I knew we shouldnt have signed him to the max deal...but the way he is acting this year after all the bs last year is insane. He is going to be a continuing issue. I was in favor of keep Coran and letting he worthless a$$ go last year
