Nate,
Ves messes up your stats tonight with 10 pts, 7bds and only 2 fouls

Season totals went from

58 pts, 56 bds, 58 fouls
to
68pts, 63 bds, 60 fouls

Good for Ves, but it's just plain sad that someone scoring 10 points in how-many games? Is a cause for celebration. Jan hustled his ass off and did his thing.

It's amazing how much more effective your offense is when you're at least pretending to be an offensive threat rather than playing hot potato with the ball.

First time i've seen him receive the ball and actually face the basket this season.

Trade him now while his value is sky high.

I'd take a high 2nd round pick and an expiring contract. I suspect we might even be able to get a late 1st. There are still a lot of GM's who drool over length and athleticism.

I'm just glad to see Jan getting some PT. It was either that or send him to the D league where he could at least play and, hopefully, improve. I'm guessing that last night was a confidence booster for Vesely. I'd expect him to be somewhat more productive with the return of Wall and the uptick in the Zards running game will come with Wall running the show.

Jan will likely never be worthy of the 6th pick but I do think there's role for him as a backup.

He's still trade filler IMO.
After the knee jerk reaction to Wizards failing with drafting & developing upside, I wonder how long it will take for fans & ownership to tire of the hard working low-upside vets we've acquired and wish for prospects with some upside once again?

his overall play was encouraging. I think it was the Dallas game (or maybe ORL)
where his on/off was especially atrocious. Since then it's been trending in the
right direction. The most encouraging sign I saw was the one post-up he did,
forget who was guarding him, but he was backing down someone (!) and
then did a really quick spin and finger-roll type layup. It was the speed of the move
that I took notice of. The defender had no chance. One good play in a season so far of dreck.
Is "holding government to account" what you think Fox News does? You may as well say that The Flinstones holds the big university scientific establishment to account. (not original)

Wizard need to play the ball, and stop being scared to play offense.

I still can't believe he's shooting .24% from the line. That is absurd.

Hopefully last night boosts his confidence some. I don't see him as a quality player ever, but maybe a decent off the bench at best.

Well I think that if we can move him for anything more than Jackie Moon and a third round draft pick that we would come out ahead. I mean if he plays him self in to trade value cool lets move him.

Last game he played as he did the final 20 games of last year. He still made some mistakes on defense and committed a few bad fouls/turnovers, but at least he showed hustle and the to ability to make some positive contributions on both ends of the floor. He again looked like he has the potential to be a valuable glue guy on a good team.

It is astonishing how badly he played to start this year considering his play at the end of last year. He appears to have lost ALL of his confidence and love for the game, which is probably the worst thing that could happen to a "glue guy." I hope this game was the start of him getting his mojo back, because if he doesn't get it back quickly and at least return to where he was at the end of last year, he'll be out of the league with a quickness.

To me, Vesely looks so lost out there. He's playing like a chicken with his head cut off. He's so hesitant on offense, whether to pass or shoot, he basically stops the ball and turns it into a crap shot situation.

The only thing that I can give him is that he does hustle. He's not giving up, but he just doesn't understand the game. The team and himself don't know where he belongs on our team. Is he a wing? Do they attempt to put him at PF and watch him get bullied? I mean he's like a tweener between PF/SF. If such a position existed he might be perfect. He's too weak for PF. He's not athletic enough for above average SFs.

Does he have a shot? I wouldn't know, and I feel most of us as well, because we very rarely ever see him shoot. If I were to judge from his FT percentage I'd have to say, NO! I find it almost impossible to average 24% from the line. IMPOSSIBLE. Last week, I think it might have been BKN, he airballed it. Of course, most of the team was missing FTAs but he's been awful.

Last game we saw some potential. A nice block. I actually saw him receive a pass and take a couple steps to the hoop and throw down a hard dunk.

I'd love for him to pan out to at least a good bench player, but I can't see it.
