NBA: Making Magic | A Washington Wizards Association

[Flight24]

Thanks man I have a few tough games coming up though. It'll be interesti g to see how I fare in these last 13 games.

 

[Flight24]

damn you making it last I see

yessir, this chise is going places.

 

[Flight24]

Nice chise, following. Btw, about the fourth quarter meltdown, I tend to let my bench start out the 4th too and all of a sudden the CPU catches up because you try to get the bench to score and you just try too hard.

Exactly. The fourth quarter seems to make or break my games a lot.

Scouting Report: Hasheem Thabeet

Scouting Report: Hasheem Thabeet

Scouting Report: Hasheem Thabeet

Hasheem Thabeet is one of the top big man prospects in the draft.

Out of the University of Connecticut, Hasheem Thabeet is one of the top big men entering the 2009 NBA Draft.

Thabeet stands at 7'3'' and weighs in at 265 pounds. His immense size brings comparisons to former NBA great Dikembe Mutombo. Like Mutombo, the most impressive part of Thabeet's game is his defense. His height and long arms allow him to block almost any shot that comes his way, and his size also allows him to grab a large number of rebounds.

Thabeet, who almost entered the draft a season ago, but pulled out for his lack of offensive skills, has become much more polished on the offensive side of the ball. He also runs the court well for a player his size and showed good leadership after being the face of the UCONN squad that made it to the 2009 Final Four.

Thabeet is projected to be selected somewhere in the mid-to-late first round range. It's expected that he will take a while to adjust to the NBA game, but his potential is undeniable.​

Too SOFT.

Too SOFT.

come on man, he's too tough Tha-beat.

 

[Flight24]

Do you stilll have Arenas or have you traded him yet.

arenas is currently warming my bench. i'm gonna look to trade him in the offseason, maybe to move up in the draft.

 

[Flight24]

You should pick up James Harden or Brandon Jennings

i am looking to improve at the point guard spot so one of those guys might help me out if i can snag them.

 

[Flight24]

lol, i'm playing the bulls game right now and aaron gray can't even run up and down the court. mcgee has 15 points already and im in the first quarter. gray might be the worst defensive player in this game haha.

 

[mfbmike]

Gray is a fat POS. rofl.

Scouting Report: Brandon Jennings

Scouting Report: Brandon Jennings

Scouting Report: Brandon Jennings

Brandon Jennings is coming from over seas looking to play in the NBA.

Brandon Jennings, the young point guard who had committed to Arizona a year ago, but then decided to go overseas to play in Italy, has entered his name in to the 2009 NBA Draft.

Jennings possesses pure athleticism while having the ability to stay under control, a rare ability for athletic point guards. His skill, court-vision, ball-handling ability, quickness, work ethic, and confidence show that he has the potential to lead a team and become a great player in the league if given the opportunity.

Jennings has the ability to catch and shoot quite well, but his shooting percentages are fairly low, especially from three-point range. His old academic issues also have scouts questioning if he has the brains to make quick decisions that are necessary in the NBA. Jennings is also very offensively-minded, he seems to lack effort on the defensive side of the ball at times. His small frame and weak upper body can also pose a problem for some squads.

Despite the weaknesses, Jennings is still one of the top prospects in the draft, and he will most likely be taken in the top ten. He draws comparisons to former NBA point guard Kenny Anderson, although the bar is set much higher for Jennings then it was for Anderson.​

Daequan Cook's Ankle Woes

Daequan Cook's Ankle Woes

Daequan Cook's Ankle Woes

Doctors examined Daequan Cook's hurt ankle after the game against the Charlotte Bobcats, and it was determined that Cook had suffered a severe ankle sprain.

Cook, who plays back up shooting guard for the Wizards, is expecting to miss anywhere between two and four weeks. With the playoffs starting in about three weeks, Washington may have to go a few games without the young sharp shooter.

The next game for the Wizards will be against the 40-30 Detroit Pistons, who are 2.5 games ahead of Washington. A win will bring the Wizards closer to sealing up the number four seed in the East ahead of the Orlando Magic.​
