thats the most ambiguous article, it says nothing about when he will be back. EVERY doctor says "Your [insert injured area here] has shown a lot of progress and is healing well"

Kwame, how can you not love him?

I find Jamison comments interesting.

He says he feels most comfortable playing the 4.

Where Kwame feels most comfortable.

Are we gonna have a conflict there. Kwame can play 5 and would be a good 5 if he starts understanding the weakside defensive principals.

I really hope we don't play alot of 4and 5 for Jamison and Kwame because our defense will collapse with a weaker 3 on the floor.

I'm glad to hear him say kwame can hit the jumper.

If Kwame recaptures the outside stroke this season he'll have a huge year.

Jamison should get used to banging at the 3 against smaller opponents and not worry about out quicking 4's. Because along with out quicking 4's comes getting out muscled by bigger 4's.

Well word around the grapevine is that Kwame has grew another inch or so over the summer and gained even more weight. I'm talking a legit 7'1, maybe up to 270 points. Compared to your typical 6'9-6'10 240 PF, Kwame is frigging HUGE.

Kwame will be able to overpower just about every PF in the league, or he'll be able to outquick every C in the league, so really it's good either way.

I think Kwame will play PF this year, even though Jamison might prefer PF, the fact is we need Jamison at SF. But, if we can get a real good SF, like for example if Jeffries can turn into a good defensive/roleplaying SF, than realistically, we could probably save alot of money next summer if Kwame moves to C. I really like Haywood, but after signing Etan for 6 years, drafting Ramos, and the fact that Kwame can play C, I'm not sure if it makes sense to give Haywood a big contract like we did with Etan.

Even if Kwame remains at PF, A future PF/C combination of Kwame/Ramos is just flatout bigger and more athletic than what any other team in the league can put out there.

I talked to my contact in the media who's covering training camp he told me some interesting things.

He told me kwame has gotten really cut up that he is in fact about 270-275.

He also said the same things you're saying about kwame being 7'1.

I just talked to him about an hour ago, he said the Wizards are really interested in kwame playing center part of the time.

He told me that JJ and hayes have really improved as players. I mean really improved.

He said Arenas shot from deep is ridiculous , that he could lead the league in 3's this season. He said Arenas could have a HUGE year I mean a Huge Year. He said the Wizards expect Kwame back soon on the low even by the start of the regular season at the least missing only a few games.

He said Ramos is really coming on also that Ramos has a real nice touch outside. He says Ramos is throwing the ball away a ton in practice and is fouling everyone to death in scrimmages but his hook has been deadly.

At least it all sounds good now.

I think outside of a true defensive stopper on the perimeter, we have the necessary pieces. We can probably get by with solid team D and JJ and Hughes applying as much good pressure as they can.

Having the necessary pieces and making it all work are two different things. Lets see it all come together.

Great stuff man. I think Kwame eventually playing C only makes sense.

Yeah I agree about the defensive stopper thing. We need one badly on the perimeter.

We can't continue to be dominated at the 3 spot.


I'm really hoping with Arenas on the perimeter. I keep thinking he has the tools to be a good defender if he just gave more effort.
