John Wall Is Only Wizards Player Selected To Rising Stars Challenge

clearly better than Vesely, Singleton, and Seraphin so far.

Book is such a god damn Grown Ass Man they forgot to select him, assumed he was in his 10th year

And if you are a bottom feeder…

Ithe rookies are going to get a beat down, the sophomore class rock and there are too many point guards and no centers on the rookie list.

Also, typical that Blake Griffin counts as a rookie for the ROY but not for the rookie sophomore challenge. I’m not bitter at all….

:(

But who, besides vesley and wall have been drafted in the top 9 in their class? Not surprised at all about this. Have we ever had anyone participate in this game?

Trevor actually seems to be the mostly likely just based on the rest of the draft class, which by the way, is starting to look like a very overrated draft class.

No we are not all about building through the draft. Building through the draft gets you what we have here, a frustrated, badly constructed team going nowhere with no real answers insight.

Here is something to think about. More teams have failed doing this than have succeeded. NBA history has proven time and time again that trades and free agent signings wins championships. The draft only breeds frustration and loosing.

Any NBA GM if given a choice would never choice what Ernie is doing!

You know what is really sad? Another decade will pass and posters here will still be praising guys for there hustle and effort in yet another loosing season!

Talent, efficiency and execution when games and ultimately championships Hustle and effort and the ole college try is what losers do and we’ve been doing it for decades.

One more thing Trever Booker and Chris Singleton are role player at best. Being happy with their play is symptomatic of what’s wrong with this fan base and organization!

‘Role Player’ shouldn’t be a dirty word. Nick Collison is a role player and also a vital cog of a contender. Right now we’re finding and developing role players and will have a ton of cash to dangle at potential stars. Booker can get some points on smart shots, plays tough D, fights for rebounds or at least boxes someone out so someone else can get the rebound. Role players matter. Singleton is supposed to be an elite wing defender who can hit 3s- lets say that he develops into exactly that and nothing more- the Spurs didn’t need Bruce Bowen? The Grizzlies don’t need Tony Allen? It’s a star-driven league, but I appreciate that we’re doing an extended tryout this year since going “All In” this year would have resulted in an 8-seed with a lot of financial obligations at best. Waiting for 1 more draft and Lewis’s contract to be in it’s expiring deal isn’t popular, but it’s smart.

We had 3 guys in All-Star consideration until 07-08 and yet hadn’t had a winning record on a 5 game road trip since 2005. Criticize the way the rebuild is going all you want, but being happy with hustle and effort is most certainly not symptomatic of this organization. Besides Wall the biggest named/ highest paid players on this team don’t hustle or give effort whatsoever. Unfortunately until Rashard is bought out, Dray is amnestied and Young is jettisoned to somewhere else he can be a low percentage shooter who doesn’t do anything else, we still can’t judge where it’s going. Rashard & Andray’s contracts take up half the salary cap and have nothing to do with the future of this team.
