Re: Washington Wizards 2010-2011 Ongoing Thread
Today I'm feeling conservative. The Wizards need defensive players so today I want them to draft Kawhi Leonard, athletic small forward that can Guard 2's and 3's. Still improving his shot but the main reason you bring on someone like Leonard is to improve our atrocious defense. If he develops into Gerald Wallace more power to you.
That or find a way to package the 6th and 18th pick to move up to 2 and get Derrick Williams or Enis Kanter. Though they might be better off getting the defensive small forward at 6 and a sharpshooter at 18 to replace Young because behind Crawford and Wall they have virtually nothing in the back court.
The bigs on the other hand are getting crowded with McGee, Blatche, Booker, Sepharin, and Lewis so I think the only way that really add another big is if they can find someone like Kanter who would hypothetically unseat Blatche as the starting 4.
Still don't know what to think of the core. Wall and Crawford are obviously a great pair. McGee right now reminds me of Jokim Noah with a weaker motor (which isn't really an insult to McGee as few guys match Noah's effort), however someone teased me the other day by showing me how McGee's numbers through his first 3 years are remarkably similar to that of Howards. Sounds promising but I'm not sure McGee has Howards Basketball IQ. Then theres Blatche. Puts points on the boards but is a problem on defense. Hard to figure out if he's part of the problem or the solution.
The real question is do they need to try and get another star or do they need role players that will be ready to compete when Wall, Crawford, and McGee hit their primes?
I was already fooled last year because they looked decent on paper but Wall swears this team is going to be in the playoffs next season (whenever that may be).
Part of me tries to see it like this.
Wall = Rose
Crawford = A rich mans Kyle Korver
Leonard = A poor mans Loul Deng
Blatche = Boozer (similar offensive production/rebounds and similar problems on D)
McGee = Noah.
Oh and one more thing. Please either switch the teams main logo to the DC hands or change the amount of red in the wizard. The color bleeds to much on that logo.
