Underrated

Does anyone else feel like everyone is underrating the Wiz this year? Anywhere I see an NBA season preview they have the Wiz around the 7 or 8 seed--- some don't even have us making the playoffs. Personally I see the Wiz getting the 4 or 5 seed- maybe even higher if they can stay healthy. If they stay healthy I definately see them winning the division.

Re: Underrated

FWIW, I have a healthy Wizards team winning the division and grabbing the 3rd or 4th seed.

Re: Underrated

They're a little weak in the post, but they have a lot of young, long athletes to play with in Blatche and McGuire. I'd like to see them play faster and use that length and athleticism to their advantage. I think they're definitely underrated going into the season.

Re: Underrated

I do feel as if we are underrated, but I can't blame the critics. We still have a weak post game and sloppy defense. The only bigs we have are mainly forwards who shoot outside jumpers (Songolia, Pecherov, Blatche).

Hopefully Haywood has improved his post game somewhat so opposing teams won't be so focused on the outside.

Re: Underrated

Yup, the Wizards are underrated at this point. People are forgetting that their "low post presence" on the offensive end aka Jamison scored 30 points per game in last year's postseason. The Wizards are adding 3 rookies in Young, McGuire, and Pecherov something that will also shore up a weak bench. They end up returning 5 starters from a team that had the best record in the Eastern Conference at the all star break. Randy Ayers as a defensive assistant will hopefully bring the Wizards up defensively. And they ended up losing Jarvis Hayes and Michael Ruffin, what I like to call addition by subtraction.

The Wizards already play at a fast pace style. It's hard to play any faster IMO.
