It’s impossible to know who will be available when the Wizards select at #30 and #34, but here are the 3 players I would love for the Wizards to be able to get. I think these three players are reasonable choices and should probably be available.
#1 – John Wall (PG – 6-4 – 195 – Kentucky – Fr) = Don’t mess this pick up Washington. Don’t worry about Gilbert Arenas. Force him to play the 2. His style is more of a shooting guard than point guard anyways. John Wall is the only correct choice here.
#30 – Willie Warren (PG/SG – 6-4 – 207 – Oklahoma – So) = He would have been a lottery pick last season if he came out. He can back up both John Wall and Gilbert Arenas. He also has great sleeper potential.
#34 – Dexter Pittman (C – 6-10 – 290 – Texas – Sr) = He reminds me of Kendrick Perkins with the Boston Celtics. Even though he is a Senior, I still think he can develop. He’ll never be an offensive force, but he’ll be a good solid defensive back up Center. He’s the opposite of JaVale McGee, which is a good thing, because that means they would compliment each other well.
Others who I wouldn’t mind having at #30 and #34 = Gani Lawal, Jordan Crawford, Greivis Vasquez, Dwayne Collins, Tiny Gallon, Sherron Collins, Hamady Ndiaye
When free agency begins here is what the Wizards will have.
*I don’t think they will keep their restricted free agents. I also don’t think they will exercise their team option on Josh Howard.
PG – Gilbert Arenas
SG – Nick Young
SF – Al Thornton, Quinton Ross
PF – Andray Blatche
C – JaVale McGee
Add in the 3 draft picks and here is the depth chart
PG – John Wall, Willie Warren
SG – Gilbert Arenas, Nick Young
SF – Al Thornton, Quinton Ross
PF – Andray Blatche
C – JaVale McGee, Dexter Pittman
It’s not a great team, but it is a start. The starting line up should be able to run, score, get steals, and block shots, but they probably won’t play very good one on one or team defense and could turn into selfish number’s getters. The 3 back ups outside of Quinton Ross are solid though.
