Official Washington Wizards Team Page (2011-2012)

[Drewski]

Ran this team all through 2k11 because of John Wall, this team seems poised to make some noise in an Eastern Conference lacking identity really.

John Wall was great last season. I think the only thing that could hold him back is his head, but he's remained grounded enough so far.

Nick Young is going to continue on the breakout he's having as long as they keep him as an RFA. I can't imagine they'd let him go though.

Didn't really like them signing Blatche but he produced well enough for a team that didn't have much going on, so it's an easy trap. Could be worse.

McGee is a question mark. Gifted, talented... but an unknown.

I think their front-court has alot of question marks but the onus will be on the ability to get out on the break with Wall and Young. I know both of them were involved in alot of the summer games so they've maintained playing the game to some extent. Hopefully that pays off for their back court.

Really look forward to this season for the Wizards in those new unis

I wished I could share your optimism...but I see it totally different.

Young could be gone, and Crawford is not where near as polished as Young is, and its not that Young is even that good. We take a hit there.

Vascili is unknown. Can he even make a 12 footer? Does he have any post up game.

Can Blatch / McGee / the rest of the Team even come close to playing solid defense? I have no inclination that anything has gotten better in this regard.

Josh Howard is gone.

Can Booker / Seraphin show that they are NBA talents?

Is Rashard Lewis going to be comeback player of the year, or going to continue to be the reason why the Owners locked out the players?

I like the two other draft picks. Mack is going to be a solid backup. Singleton hopefully transfers that defensive mindedness to the NBA.

But I don't see this team cracking 10 wins. They barely did that in an 82 game season! I see more of the same for us Bullet fans. Pain!

Would love to see John Wall take another big step.
What are the new uni's?

And boom goes the dynamite!

7 wins this year. At best. Being the youngest team in the league don't mean much.

Ok, 4 wins. This might be the worst team in the history of basketball when its all said it done. The only saving grace could be the shorted season. Could be.

This team lacks any sort of fundamental skill. I see no end to it in sight for a long long time. Unless Wall turns it around, I am starting the cries of "Bust" shortly. And don't want to hear the cries of nothing around him. Star players play like stars and make those around you better. He has done none of that this year, and all I am seeing is whining when he doesn't get the call. He is playing street right now, completely out of control. That doesn't fly in the NBA. Rondo made him look silly last night.
