 What can you say about the past week for the Wizards? They've been blown out by one of the NBA's worst teams in the Indiana Pacers, chewed out by their injured leader Antawn Jamison, and seem downright lost out on the court. Needless to say it was a pretty rough week for the boys in blue. Let's jump a little further into the misery that is 2-6 (a.k.a. Redskin Land).

 After one week of play, you can't say that the Wizards' 2-2 start was a huge success, but you have to be pleased to see the old gang back together (kind of) again. While you have to take the temporary loss of Antawn Jamison into consideration, the Wizards are meeting average expectations so far. However, that sort of performance has drawn up some concerns regarding front court depth as well as team toughness. Let's take a deep breath and appreciate .500 before we start the criticism. Ok, here we go:

 Welcome to the newest section of FFODC that coincides with the start of the 2009-2010 NBA Season. Due to the amount of material that floats around from late October through January with basketball, football (pro and college), as well as hockey, getting out recaps for all of the FFODC teams is going to be tough, so I'm going to try and do an in-depth summary of each Wizards week on Wednesdays (don't you love the alliteration) until football flies south for the winter. Obviously we're a little limited this week on material, considering that we only have one game to go over, so this week is basically a glorified recap. Oh well...who cares. Hit the jump...

So I've kept the Wizards chatter to a minimum, mostly because there hasn't been a ton to talk about with Gilbert's recent "silence." Of course the beginning of football season paired with hockey has taken a little away from the Wiz hype as well. Maybe I'd be more excited if they were the Bullets again. At any rate, the season is now a week away, and with a Redskin/Hokie/Capital bye week, why not give the Bullets their love? Here are some major questions facing the Wizards this season and some things to watch for:

So they've finally done it. The Wizards have dealt the number five pick in tonight's draft, and may not participate at all (after trying to deal #32 also). The Wiz sent #5, Etan Thomas, Darius Songaila, and Oleksiy Pecherov for Randy Foye, Mike Miller, and cash. Somewhere, Brendan Haywood is smiling. While this doesn't hold the luster that the potential Amare deal did, it should be a solid move for Washington (although it needs to be paired with another move or two). Let's take a closer look at our half of the deal and what we're getting in Foye and Miller:
Foye: A relatively streaky shooter that can put up points when needed. He's not a great passer, but he's a solid scorer off the bench. Foye has had a banged up knee since injuring it during the 07-08 season, and hasn't fully recovered since. He's had the stigma of the Brandon Roy trade hanging over him since his rookie year, so you might say he was set up to fail with the Timberwolves. His value in the trade will be dependent upon his health, but the Wizards could let him walk after this season if they choose not to give him a qualifying offer. Oh and his guts are flipped.
Miller: Miller is a former rookie of the year (2000-2001) and sixth man of the year (2005-2006) that has now coming to his fourth team. He is known for his nice range (career .401 3 pt %) and overall shooting consistency (.462 career FG %). Miller had a statistically terrible year last year, but most people attribute it to being a part of a TERRIBLE Minnesota team. He has decent size at 6'8" at 218 lbs, but he won't kill you on the boards. Like Foye, he should benefit from a new team and will fit well with Flip Saunders here in DC.
The only way to grade this trade will be on the moves that come next. By losing relatively big-guys in the deal, the Wiz have to trade again for a physical big. Blatche, Haywood, McGee, and Jamison can't hold down big duties without reinforcements. Grunfeld says the team will try and deal the 32nd pick in another move, so look for a guard (Mike James anyone?) to be on their way out of town for a big man. Keep your collective fingers crossed! |
