Hey guys I don't really follow the Wizards much but DAMN!!! Even though Jeffries got the extension will Ruffin get around 30-33mpg with his surprise season so far? OR will Ruffin unfairly get bench splinters again. Replies are appreciated. Thanks.

Once everyone is back and healthy, there's nowhere for Ruffin to get 30+ minutes a night at. He's only getting that now because our three big men are all out for a variety of reasons. Haywood's return in the next game will knock Ruffin's minutes into the 20s, and once Kwame and Etan return he'll be in the low teens at best in all likelihood.

With center Brendan Haywood returning, Wizards big man Michael Ruffin started at power forward on Tuesday night. Ruffin's move cause Antawn Jamison to slide from power to small forward, and Jarvis Hayes came off the bench. "When you have scorers on the floor, it's good to have a guy like (Ruffin)," head coach Eddie Jordan told the Washington Post. "The Lakers had it when I was playing with Kurt Rambis. Chicago had it with Dennis Rodman. He does things that help you win. Offensive rebounds, loose balls, steals. He does a lot of the dirty work that doesn't show up on the box score." Jordan also added, "You just can't be small. I don't want Antawn to be beat up by a power forward."

Looks like Ruffin is getting some love from Eddie
