    His complete lack of defense is even worse than his one dimensional offense.

    Go to bed now. That way, you can wake up with Wood.

    The Wizards team went to the 2nd round 3 times with Wall + Beal, Wall was the one making other people better and getting guys like Porter paid the big bucks. Beal on his own gets buckets on good efficiency, but he just doesn't play any defense at all. There's a reason why they're not even close to the playoffs any of the 3 seasons it was just Beal running the show. Ask any Wizards fan and Wall is the person you associate with winning. Heck, even Otto Porter had better impact metrics than Beal during those playoff years.

    Actually, like 5 years ago, when Beal got hurt a lot, we would just plug in Garrett Temple and the Wizards would win the same amount of games. Keep in mind, Beal didn't peak in skill yet until recent years, so I think the current Beal and the past Wall would have done just fine together. Beal literally developed so much off the dribble stuff, and like a million new moves during the last couple years and it also coincided with Beal's prime age-wise.

    At this current moment, I don't see Wood as a guy who you can just give him the ball and have him ISO a million times a game at the top of key or the post. He needs the ball in exact spots where he can be extremely successful. If you just force-feed him, I bet his efficiency will go down. My main gripe is Wall was not throwing lobs to Wood, but he finally threw 2 last game. Wood is probably one of the best 3 lob-catchers in the NBA right now.

    The longer it takes for us to get a word from the team, the more concerned I get. They've certainly known the extent of the injury since this morning.

    I think I used "longshot" in reference to him becoming a superstar. Depends on one's definition of superstar, I guess. I think he's already a fringe all-star type player (when healthy, of course).

    Agree. My butterfly keeps telling me could be a season ending thing.

    Do you consider Giannis, Embiid or Jokic superstars?

    Because that is who he is being compared to right now based on production and efficiency.

    Not everyone is untradeable until they're not.

    on the official report it is listed as a “right ankle injury” ... which is troubling as Nwaba is listed as “right ankle sprain”

    Bring up Porter and KJ back to Rockets and send Mase and Kurucs to Vipers.
