But opinions can easily change …..
I still have hope for the team we have.

No one has taken Blair yet
I’m just sayin’…
More likely than not, there will be someone worth taking at 32. Mills would make sense, as would anyone over 6’10 who can move. Can’t imagine us trying to guard Shaq with a rotation of Blatche, Haywood, and McGee.

I think you already know the answer to that question.
Dumb. Impatient. Short-sighted.
At best, Miller and Foye will be the team’s 4th and 5th best players, more likely the 5th and 6th best players. In time, Rubio could have been the 2nd or 3rd best player on the team.
by disgrunted on Jun 25, 2009 8:36 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I hear you
But the key is “in time.” We are supposed to win now. Now, there’s nothing wrong with thinking we need to rebuild or plan for the future, but I think that trying to win in the next 2-3 years is just as valid an approach.

Not sure
It’s no guarantee that Rubio will even be as good as Miller or Foye this year so I’m not angry but I’m not happy. Rubio could be an allstar in a few years and that’s when it’ll probably hurt a lot more.
by bigrm18 on Jun 25, 2009 8:37 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
be realistic
we’re not winning this year with Foye and Miller. So this year doesn’t matter. We MAY get the 5 seed. 4 would be a reach.
by CJHutch on Jun 25, 2009 8:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
In that case
We may not have won this year if we had Rubio. You honestly think that Rubio is already better than Foye AND Miller and would help us reach the top by himself? All I’m saying is there’s no guarantees.

Kid's 18
As Mike Jones (who?) put it:
It’s easy right now if you’re a Wizards fan to feel a twinge of regret seeing Rubio slide to five, but given the Wizards’ situation, which includes already having an All-Star point guard in Gilbert Arenas, and Rubio’s agent not wanting him to go anywhere other than a place where he could run the show, perhaps they were better off.
Rubio is a gamble. He is. He’s not a sure thing. The other important element here: Rubio can’t shoot. Nash could shoot from day one, as could Pistol. All the comparisons are not only premature, but ridiculous. Look at what Ainge has been saying about his Oscar-like point guard: he killed us in the Orlando series because he could be left WIDE open so they could double up on our better guys.
I like where we are at, and I’ll like it even more once Ernie makes his next move. Ernie is a lot better at this than we are. :)

Right now I’d say the Wizards have as good a shot at the #4 seed as any other team. And it’s possible they’ll end up better. Personally, while I liked the trade, I’m on the fence now knowing that we could’ve gotten Rubio. But at least for the next couple years the Wizards will be a better team undoubtedly because of the trade. And who knows how good this team can be…
by Johnnie Futbol on Jun 25, 2009 9:10 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Realistically
Rubio has the potential to be truly great… All-Star level talent. Potentially 1st Team All-NBA…
but
It will take some time…. Like when the Wizards traded the 5th pick for Antawn Jamison (and the 5th pick was Devin Harris)
AND Devin Harris became a very good player… but it took 4 years (his 3rd year, he was only averaging 10 points, and 3.7 assists)

by Unselds on Jun 25, 2009 8:47 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Think about it this way
What was Stephon Curry doing when he was 14? Rubio was playing pro ball. That’s insane. Name one other male athlete who was at that level so young? The only one I can think of that is close is LeBron, who was scrimmaging against pros when he was a junior in high school and reportedly holding his own.
by disgrunted on Jun 25, 2009 8:51 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
What about Jordan?
Michael Jordan wasn’t even good enough to make his high school basketball team at first. Rubio playing against grown men at the such a young age is a great feat, but it doesn’t automatically mean that he is going to be great in the NBA.
by bigrm18 on Jun 25, 2009 8:54 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
No
But it does indicate that he was very, very good at 14…. and he’s better now…. Nothing is automatic… but Rubio is a more experienced player, at 18 years old, than ANY other player in the draft.
He’s both the youngest player, AND the most experienced.

I have no problem with the trade except....
We don’t know the exact nature of the trade talk between Minnesota and Wash prior to the trade, or if any team knew that Sacramento was gonna pass up Rubio, so i’m speaking on this matter without knowing all the facts, but on its face, Grunfeld half-blew this trade.
It looks like David Kahn (minn’s GM) got the better of Grunfeld at the poker table.
It’s clear now that Minn reallllyyy wanted Rubio.
Grunfeld should have recognized that and kept this pick until Rubio slipped to the Wiz.
He then would have been in a much more powerful bargaining position with Rubio in our pockets. Minn surely would have at least taken Stevenson and maybe even given back the 18th pick as well. Or there might have been more lucrative offers for Rubio than what Minn was willing to offer.
If we had of kept this pick and used it on someone i would’ve rather had stephen curry than Rubio. Rubio is a much more high risk/high reward pick in my opinion.
Hindsight is always 20/20
I do think we got proven commodities that can help our core right away, which Ernie is clearly trying to do because of Abe.
I also think that the Wiz are not done wheeling and dealing
by Poname84 on Jun 25, 2009 8:53 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, if you want to speculate though ...
… let’s assume the Wizards know they could have taken Rubio at 5, and decided they prefer Miller/Foye, which is not out of the realm of possibility.
You could look at it the other way … Grunfeld acted fast, so that he took advantage of Minnesota’s desire to get Rubio at 5 even though there was no way of guaranteeing a team ahead of them didn’t pick him or trade the pick to someone who would.
Second-guessing is easy.

That's true but...
I’m shocked at the hype over an 18 year old player. He’s not exactly LeBron, yet I’ve heard things on various boards like he’s a once-in-a-lifetime talent. Really? He’s Chris Paul good? For that matter he’s Jameer Nelson or Rajon Rondo good? If he’s not that good then he will essentially be Foye good. In reality, there is a huge chance he will be a complete bust, the next Darko.
The truth is we can’t afford another Kwame and assuming he’s healthy he would be a project behind our best player (assuming he’s healthy.) Meanwhile we had a huge gaping hole at 2 guard. That hole is now filled with capable NBA players. Not only that we ditched Etan’s contract that seems like good work to me.

Ernie was interviewed on Washington Post Live at about 5 PM, here’s my transcript of his Rubio comments:
Ivan Carter: Did you feel there was a chance that Ricky Rubio may fall to the 5 spot?
Ernie: Well he may fall there, we don’t know. We know that 3,4 players may have gotten there but if its Ricky Rubio or anybody else, I don’t think anybody at the 5 spot would have come anywhere close to helping us as much as these 2 players (Miller and Foye)

Mullens will be a bust. He got drafted based off his height. He has no fundamentals.The only reason he was the #1 highschool player last year was because he was playing in division III. in college it was like Thabeet versus Blair every night.

I actually think this is possible.
Why? Nobody wants to take on guaranteed money in this economy, so they’re just drafting Euros they don’t have to pay yet. Coming up, we have the following teams that could pick Blair.
-Chicago, who has tax concerns
-Memphis, who stinks
-Minnesota, who has eight zillion power forwards
-The Lakers, who have tax concerns and basically admitting they are selling
-Sacramento, who has a lot of PFs
Cleveland’s the real worry here.

If Blair is off the board
I think the Wizards should take Josh Heytvelt
Josh Heytvelt - 6’11" 260 PF (39, ??,42)
Another Senior. Unfortunately, Hytvelt is not as experienced as some of the other Seniors in this draft because he has had foot injuries and off-court issues. I only saw 3 Gonzaga games, so my knowledge base on Hytvelt is limited. What struck me was that I expected to see this big lumbering guy, but instead I saw a very athletic player. He can get up with the best of them (34 inch vertical); combined that with his excellent length (9’0" standing reach) and the tools are there. Heytvelt showed a nice touch from mid-range and the ability to finish strong around the basket – usually with a forceful dunk. Hytvelt looked to be a pretty good rebounder. He didn’t block any shots while I was watching, but I would think he has that ability, based on his leaping ability and length.
He’s not much of a passer, having difficulties passing out of double-teams; and had trouble sometimes keeping his man from backing him down. Didn’t seem to be a very good defender. He needs to work on his advanced post moves… as the only thing I saw him do consistently was a turn around jumper.
Hytvelt has some upside, especially if he can continue to regain the athleticism he lost after the injuries in his Sophomore year.
