Seriously though, I think the Wiz wanted this guy pretty much all along. I think they still believe in Dray, McGee, and even like Book & Seraphin. They wanted a 3 and Im totally down wit it
Playing devil's advocate and assuming you are right: They selected a three with extreme size. They got a big who should be along with Booker and McGee, just dunking everything in sight. They got a guy who can defend maybe the Dirk Nowitzki's and even the Paul Pierce's of the league. I've seen the guy run. Not too many teams will want to run with Wall, McGee, this guy, and Booker. What I like is he's a Euro because I think he'll have a different maturity level, being already 21 years old and having played FIBA ball. No, he doesn't replace Dray but yes, he's got skills that Dray does not. Vertical game should be better. I'm guessing defense will be a strength with Vesely.
We'll see if the guy pans out to be a good or great pick. I think he'll be solid and a crowd favorite--sort of like an Amundsen or very poor man's Kirilenko of 3 years ago.
