Ernie is basically saying, “if you aren’t going to get immediate help, swing for the fences.”

He also continues the theory behind Blatche and Pech, get as many skilled beig men as you can. This kid is going to be legit…

I don't know...I'm looking at the "weaknesses" and

•Extremely weak physically
• Poor fundamentals
• Footwork/Post-moves
• Decision making (guess he won’t have the ball in his hands much)
• Basketball IQ (i.e., stupid)
• Atrocious defender (He’ll fit right in!)
• Poor activity level/Doesn’t hustle
• Mental/Physical toughness?
• Soft?
• Long ways away from contributing
• High bust potential

Yikes, ya’ll…just…Yikes.

Isiah Thomas was decent drafter but awful GM

Chad Ford rips the pick

I’m not a huge fan of this pick, especially with a proven guy like Darrell Arthur on the board. McGee is a physical specimen, very long and athletic, and he has some skills. But he’s very soft and looks like he’s years away. He reminds me of Andray Blatche.

by Pradamaster on Jun 26, 2008 9:40 PM EDT up 0 recs

I wonder why exactly is he considered "soft"

Just because he doesn’t have strength? Or is he not hard nosed.

Kid can run and seems to have pick and pop-ability….and can block shots. Nice lower body strength is not too shabby.

Hey, I’m just trying to look at the positives.

Give him credit..

DraftExperss has a big write up on his workout and he has put on 8 pounds of muscle sent the end of school. So he knows he has to get stronger and tougher. But if you look at the film of him you can see he is not a physical player down low. But being able to block shots like he shows can not be taught.

by LoneWiz54 on Jun 26, 2008 9:49 PM EDT up 0 recs

Like I said earlier...the guy can block shots..

then you go from there. You just have to trust the body of work EG has done. This guy has a lot of physical skills and this team surely needed a shot blocker. But I do feel the guy is very soft.

Ernie is taking the Nationals approach. All new talent report directly to the minors.

He should be watching tapes of Tyson Chandler daily.

Uh.....

Hopefully not Tyson Chandler without Chris Paul….

NBA Draft .net gives him an Andrew Bynum best scenario.

Representing DC with Wizards & Stuff - Truth About It Dot Net

by Truth About It on Jun 26, 2008 9:52 PM EDT up 0 recs

Tyson Chandler without Chris Paul is plenty god enough for the 18th pick. Bynum is a big boy. This kid will never hold that kind of weight. Chandler or Camby would fit nicely, eventually.
