yeah.. really.
but yes, I am happy. Kwame is developing into one of the best PF's in the Eastern Conference and soon the whole league. he's had a slow start, but he is now on the track that the Wizards chose him for.

I dunno... we'd probably be better off had we had Gasol.

What a weak draft class. That's the Wizards- we get the #1 during a really down year. Lebron and Yao are franchise saviors, we had to choose from a bunh of guys who need time to work to become starters, if at all. I'm pleased with the two we have-Gilbert AND Kwame. Teams have to gamble on a big man now, they've realized you can't win titles without a top post player. The days of a 6' Iverson going #1 are long gone.
I'd like to know how a player as skilled as Gilbert falls as far as he did. Overlooked in the first by every team? Sometimes players are drafted a little too high (Fred Jones, Juan Dixon), but it is surprised to see one so good, drafted so low. Did he attend pre-draft workouts? Did he just play poorly there?

From what I remember, Arenas was not thought of as able to play PG in the NBA full time -- thus, he was the typical undersized SG (at 6'3, 200) coming out of school. Those guys are a dime a dozen, so he probably got pushed back a bit because of it.

Yep, that'll do it- undersized guys are always getting overlooked. I don't recall much of Gil's college career, other than everyone was disappointed to see him leave school early.

I think Gasol's maxed out, Kwame has shown a great mind and ability in basketball, he still has a lot more potential.

Gasol maxed out? That's hilarious.
If he could bulk up and stop being a crybaby AND get more minutes he'd be one of the elite PF's in the NBA.

Lets see in a few years though.
Definately not Curry, because he is foul prone and not very good at defense.

I disagree with three first...
1. Wiz - Gasol
2. Clipps - Eddy (traded for Brand as the same way that Chandler was)
3. Grizz - Kwame (who can play C and PF)
