Am I imagining things, or is Dave Blatt sort of scary? Everything I read about him is terribly impressive. I feel like he's going to be the Next Great Coach in the NBA, Popp 2.0 – and we didn't get hijm.
Wittman's done a nice job: Wall and Beal are blossoming, it seems like Otto P is about to do the same, and maybe GRJR. Player development was by far job #1 for any Wiz head coach when Witt was hired in 2012, so by any reasonable standard Witt has done well. It's hard to find fault.
But, but – why couldn't we have hired Blatt in 2012??? I feel like we'd be way ahead of the curve if we had. Instead I anticipate a decade of looking up at the Cavaliers.
