DS also shoots a better percentage than JJ- and he's not a bad defender at all. He'll be playing his butt off this upcoming season too, so he can opt out of the second year and get a big payday. This also gives some leeway to developing blatche (who will be better than both players in a few years) and negates the need to rely on jarvis hayes' knees.

Exactly. Nice post. This is an absolute steal for the Wizards. It wasn't a secret that they were targeting Songaila and Stevenson this off-season. The feeling was that they'd have to choose on or the other. But here they are with both.
