I think that's the default, Redskins have 2nd round pick #19... that other guy traded down two spots to #21 and still nabbed him...

When ever I do it he's already gone.

Nice! I got Eric Reid, too, but two more spots higher, so you got great value!

Reading this thread it seems like the site only grades a draft highly if you grade the players the same way they do.......and I don't agree with their grades/BPA all the time

and plus their trade down machine is more then a bit off

I might actually take my kids to see a Wizards game this season.

I wonder where the Wiz rank in back court size?

If we keep both Wall and Beal the next coach better have a plan on how they are going to make that backcourt work both from an offensive standpoint and a defensive stand point.

I wonder if Jerry Sloan still wants to coach?

Our offense doesn't run a lot of off ball screens IMO. It's more of a high screen and roll game that focuses on getting the bigs mid range shots near the top of the key or isolated around the low block. We run some ISOs for Crawford but mostly just for Seraphin and Nene.

Beal isn't utilized in the way DG is talking about. I agree with Still that his ball handling isn't good enough yet to run a lot of ISOs for him. As for why they don't curl him off screens away from the ball to shoot, those are hard shots. Beal hasn't done much catching and shooting this year, I guess he doesn't have a comfort level with it or he's not getting the ball in his spots. Most of the time Beal catches he takes a couple of dribbles or he passes. Martell and the other guards have shown much more willingness to catch and shoot than Beal.

That's interesting/troubling to hear the way Beal is described not just by you but by Destino and Stills.

A 2 Guard that can't consistently get his shot from an iso is troubling as is a 2 that doesn't have a clean handle. (not talking about dribbling to facilitate but dribbling to score, get to the basket/get your shot.

The reason why I mention the shooting off screens b/c it is my belief/understanding that all shooters benefit from getting a clean look at the basket. And the best way sometimes the only way to get a open shot for your shooter in a half court set is to run him off screens. And I fully expect Beal to be out of rhythm. But, imo he's gonna have to get his attempts up before he finds that rhythm. And imo he won't play with confidence until he finds his rhythm/stroke as a shooter.

Basically, I think Beal needs to be given the green light to shoot the ball without fear or admonishment from the coach. And I don't believe and I could be completely wrong basing it off the game I watched. But, I felt like Beal was playing with a choke collar on. And imo that's the wrong way to raise a 2 guard/scoring guard.

I like Beal more than I thought I would but I have major doubts that he will ever be a good shooter or angry enough to maximize his ability. I love him when he attacks the basket and plays angry but when he settles into the "flow" he is lack luster and frankly very mediocre. His defense is above average but his size and speed isn't which limits his versatility as a perimeter stopper . If someone can get him to channel his inner DWade he could be special and the points he's putting up as a rookie signal that he absolutely can be much more than a role player. Beal can be damn good, but I don't think he can be as a finesse player look to score primarily from long range jump shots.

From the one game that I saw and I believe the stats bear this out (but maybe they don't) *shrugs*

but they're needlessly putting Beal in handcuffs. Especially now that the season isn't going anywhere...fast. Why not develop one of your best players?

The offense should be designed to get Beal open court isolation and catch and shoot off the ball screens.

I rarely post in this thread and if there was a discussion about the game on Sat, I probably missed it.

Anyway it was the first Wizards game I watched in its entirety since early last year.

My humble thoughts/questions:

- Is Wittman considered to be on the hotseat?

- What was the rationale given behind BB playing such few minutes and not starting and not being on the court at the end of the game in the 4th qtr?

-BB really does look 6'3 (why draft a 6'3 2G?)

-Jan Vesely has some game, he's not a stiff but he's small

-The coach is gonna need to tweak there line-up and offense to maximize these BB/Vesley imo

-Seraphin has some decent size and he's working on a baby hook

-Okafor...has he always been this soft?

Willie Smith and Polumbus should rotate series at 1st string RT

Didn't get to watch the game but did Wall play point the whole game?

Was there ever a stretch where Crawford brought the ball up?

or

Was there a stretch where Wall was playing on a wing as opposed to the middle?

Maybe comcast will reply the game tonight.

Imo John Wall is handcuffed by this offense and this team.

But he's too unselfish to just try to score, which imo is probably what he should do.

A PG or any lead guard job is essentially to make the team better and help the team win.

But sometimes the best thing for the team to help the team win is points.

Imo Wall is the best scoring option on the team but he's too unselfish and the offense isn't structured that way.

Nice win for the Wizz.

Saunders made some coaching moves that worked.

What he calls the defensive line-up should become the 'regular' line-up.

At one point in the game I swore I heard Buck say that Tor had 119(ish) turnovers and the Wiz had 0?

At some point I hope they try playing Wall off the ball more and spread the court out where he can try get his scoring going by taking his man to the hole.

Defense? What a novel concept.

Good win.

I want to eventually be able to take my family to a Wiz games without making them sit through some bad bad basketball.

If I look at the schedule closely I might be able to find a few games where that might happen this season.

I wasn't sure about that til this game.

I want Popovich's top assistant, Mike Budenholzer.

Having worked with Parker would only bode well for Wall, who imo shares a similar skillset / Tony.

As someone who was living in New York (and following the Knicks) during Brown's tenure, he's JUST as much at fault for implosion as the players. They couldn't get him out of there fast enough.

I remember those Knicks teams and they were a mess.

They were a mess before Brown and they were a mess after Brown.

I mean Starbury is a crazy person.

Another thing, what makes you think that Blatche, of all people, is the type of player Brown would want to coach? I don't see it. He gets the most out of veteran players with GOOD work ethic and b-ball IQs. A Blatche/Brown pairing would be a disaster from the start.

I was trying to make a funny but I guess it got lost in translation.

I guess we'll agree to disagree. I want NOTHING to do with Larry Brown. I think he's an awful fit for the team we currently have.

We're all entitled to our opinions, you can think Brown is a bad fit for this team and not make him out to be a bad coach.

BTW-

What type of coach would you like and why?

---------- Post added January-8th-2012 at 06:47 PM ----------

...why are we talking about larry Brown?

My issue would be Larry bolting after 1 year. He likes to bounce around. The next coach who comes through needs to be the guy they plan on leading the team from rebuilding to fringe playoff team, someone who can grow with the team so they have some continuity.

His only 1 and done stint was the Knicks, who were a dumster fire w/ Isiah Thomas as GM.

Larry Brown has a well publicized problem with working with foreign players, particularly former Euroleaguers.

I think he could be bad for the development of guys like Seraphin and Vesely. We really need Vesely to thrive.

And there might be some truth to that, but I'm certain he's coached and had success with foreign players before.

Brown is a hard nosed no BS basketball purist and he's probably gonna have a problem with any player that doesn't hustle, plays soft, doesn't play defense and take bad shots.

Larry Brown would love Blatche.

I've been watching basketball and every team this guy has a chance to coach gets better.

He eventually wears them down and you might need to replace him after 3 years or so.

But in those 3-4 years that team will get better.
