For Yahoo, Chris Webber's giving his top 5 players for each franchise.

Here's a link (Webber might be the second story to appear after the Nuggets/Billups video).

Can't argue with any of his picks, but I might have put Bobby D ahead of Bernard King.

Haven't followed the Wiz for that long, who was that old guy they traded him for...???

I took a look at his stats; career averages 20pts, 10rbs, 4 ast....

Sick...

I can't fault the HM for Rod Strickland. Even mentioning Calbert Cheaney in the greats for the Wizards on the other hand....

On the one hand, I liked hearing him get a little bitter about being traded for Mitch Richmond's corpse and Otis Thorpe's abnormally large right hand.

On the other hand, Strickland and *Cheaney(?!)* don't deserve to be on anyone's all-time team. There are two was to interpret "Best 6th man": you can either pick the 6th best player for the squad of all time--in which case, Gus Johnson would win that over Ruland, Jeff Malone, and Michael Adams; or, you'd pick the best 6th man in Wizards' history--in which case, you'd be picking Bobby D over, say, Tracey Murray.

But Strickland and Cheaney were (a) starters, and (b) no where near the best amongst all Bullets/Wizards players. i guess Webber wanted to big up his former teammates.
