Never underestimate the impact of a superstar PG that knows how to get others involved. As long as Wall's on the floor, Thornton can look like Shawn Marion. Without Wall, I think we'd be seeing a very inefficient scorer.
He's definitely benefiting from Wall's assists, but I've actually been more impressed with his ability to create his own shot in the block and his willingness to fight for rebounds. He lost a bit of weight in the offseason and it shows in his speed and jumping. Very spry. He's dunking in situations where he would have floated a shot last year.

Good win against the Rockets. I was watching the game at a bar in Houston, and people were bewildered that I was rooting for the Wiz Kids.

He gets a lot of boards for a guard.

When Blache, McGee and YI toughen-up the Wizards will be both formidable and exciting. The Rockets are banged-up right now, but that can't devalue the Wizards effort last night. A triple double for the little big man.

Wall has been lights out so far but schooled here.

Derrick has extreme talents and can school any p/g. Would like to see Wall slow down to the extent his thoughts catch-up to his speed. Sometimes he plays out of control .

Another Washington team got smoked last night. Well at least this time my team was on the winning side. =)
It sucked though becasue I want to see Wall vs. Rondo.
