Versatility
I've watched (and listened) to the first two pre-season games - and Eddie Jordan has played around with some interesting lineups...
The Wizards roster is filled with a great mix of skills, talent, speed and size. At one point, Eddie had an extremely long (tall) unit on the floor:
Etan Thomas (C, 6'10"), Andray Blatche (PF?, 7'0"), JaVale McGee (SF?, 7'0"), Dermarr Johnson (SG, 6'9") and Antonio Daniels (PG)....
Later, he used a different big lineup with Pecherov (7'0"), McGee (7'0"), Dermarr Johnson, Linton Johnson and Dee Brown.
He went with a quick lineup: Dee Brown, Linton Johnson, McGuire, McGee and Blatche (talk about shot blocking ability) - this lineup just ran the Grizzlies ragged... and scored a variety of slam dunk, and fast break baskets. This also seemed to be the best Defensive lineup -along with the Dee Brown, Linton Johnson, Dermarr Johnson, McGee, Blatche lineup... (quickness and length)...
Eddie can throw a line up of shooters out there with Pech, Jamison, Stevenson, Butler and Daniels - or Dee Brown - OR bang inside with Thomas, Jamison, Songaila Dermarr and Daniels...
Some of the lineup versatility comes from the fact that several players can play multiple positions.
Blatche can play Center and PF (and sometimes SF in certain situations)
McGee can play C & PF
Dermarr Johnson can play SG and SF (and PF in a smallball lineup)
McGuire seems able to defend some bigger SG's, and play SF.
All in all - it's an interesting roster..
