For the next few weeks, we're voting on the top Wizards quote of the year, bracket-style, in a little something we like to call #QUOTESANITY. In this installment, we've got Jan Vesely's bold draft day quote taking on the most recent and most successful Wizard, Morris Almond. American Jan Vesely got here by punking Kevin Seraphin's No Body Will Punk quote with 71 percent of the vote. The Morris Almond Era ousted second-seeded How U with 78 percent of the vote in the first round.

3. American Jan Vesely

I don't know, I think Blake Griffin is the American Jan Vesely. -Jan Vesely when asked on draft night about being called the "European Blake Griffin".

7. Morris Almond Era

I went undefeated. I was 6-0. Hold onto that. I'm not going to say anything, but we did go undefeated in the Morris Almond era. I'll let you put 2 and 2 together. -Morris Almond at the Wizards' exit interviews.

This is going to be a tough one. These are two All-Star level quotes from guys who averaged under 5 points per game this season, but only one can advance to the Elite 8.
