Bradley Beal has completely exceeded my expectations. If we would've gotten a contributor with our pick last year we would have a nice squad.
He's been coming along nicely

I agree with you guys on Brad Beal. I did not think he was this much of a gamer. I thought he would be a soft spoken...try to get the job done....chris singleton type
I was obviously wrong. But i also don't think its a coincidence that he has gotten better since John Wall has been back. I know everyone has got better. But we all said....if wall comes back and he doesn't have to really create his shot as much we will be a lot better. And John's ability to drive and kick really opens up the floor for Beal and Webster.
I hope we keep okafor...i know his contract is up soon...but he is so under rated.
That means we have a shot at Andrew Wiggins thenTeam will be in the lottery again next season
I would take Otto Porter too, but he aint from Europe, so we might not pick him lolIt's not just the PPG rise, but look at his actual shooting efficiency since January 1st. Dude has really elevated his game. I was saying this last night, but if he can keep playing at this level and the Wizards can stay over .500 going forward, Damian Lillard won't be a sure-bet lock for ROY.
Also, no matter where the Wizards pick, Otto Porter need to be their guy. He's almost TOO perfect of a fit for this team.

LinkL.A. CLIPPERS: The Clips stood pat, but not by their basketball people's choice. L.A. and Washington had a done deal Wednesday night that would have sent forward Trevor Ariza to the Clippers in exchange for Caron Butler, giving L.A. a long, defensive-oriented body to throw at the likes of Kevin Durant in the playoffs. (Butler, who still has an offseason home in the D.C. area, and who was loved by the locals, didn't have a problem returning to a non-Arenas Wizards locker room. He'd have been welcomed back as a much-needed offensive option, according to sources.)
But sources indicated that Clippers owner Donald Sterling nixed the deal Thursday morning, not wanting to gamble on the team's chemistry being affected in any way down the stretch. My interpretation: we don't want to do anything that could, in any way, be held against us by assistant general manager Chris Paul this summer if we don't get far in the postseason.
Either way, the Clips probably are just as well. If Paul couldn't convince Kevin Garnett to come West, there wasn't another game-changing deal out there.
would have been a strange move to make
I strongly disagree. He's been getting better and better at scoring off the dribble.Always felt Beal would get better once wall came back cause he can't create his own shot,

I've already accepted that fact that he'll never be a good shooter. Maybe later in his career he'll figure it out like Jason Kidd did.
It's way too early to say he will never be a good shooter. He just needs time and most important, confidence in his own shot. In his 3rd season...I think he will be quite ok personally
I'm confused. Did I imply the team should "give up on him" because he can't shoot?
Rondo's been in the league for 7 years now...and still can't shoot. I don't think it's "too early" at all to say that Wall won't be a good shooter. He's a historically bad jump shooter and I just don't see that turning around any time soon. Same with Kidd...he didn't become a shooter to fear until that athleticism departed.
Not that they were AS bad at shooting as Wall was but look at the improvements Rose and Westbrook made from year one to year two. Wall still shoots as if he's going to miss every time it leaves his hand. It's just not a pretty shot. Who knows when Wall will turn it around or if he ever will? I'm not counting on it. I'd just like to see him continue to use what he is good at.
Just like Rondo...he has stretches where he finds a groove and that shot looks pretty good but I think the scouting report on both of those guys will always be back off and let them shoot.
