Now in Blatche I at least see someone who averaged over 20ppg over the two summer leagues this year. He is not even 21 yet and he can play against men. Now it's only summer league but I am willing to bet Blatche will be at least three if not four times the player Jeffries is. Although that isn't saying much. The guy is not even 21 and he is taller and in my opinion more of a physical presence. With Blatche I think we will see some good things this year.

I would love for Blatche to step up and pull his own, and then some!
Be my guest. I just don't like how we allow "budding" players bounce out of DC after two or three years and then go elsewhere and blow up.
No, Jeffries isn't an All-Star by any stretch of the imagination. It's possible that we can plug someone else in there and still get productivity.
But I don't think the stats tell the whole story either. First of all, you have the big three that will get the lions share of scoring for the Wizards. Which pretty much makes him a role player in that department. Defensively, Jeffries gave us a lot of different looks. He wasn't confined to playing in the post, where many block shots do take place. He added versatility.

My main point is that it seems like another year of here we go again.
