Can you name the Wizards/Bullets Starting Lineups 1986-2008?

[pancakes3]

it kind of screws with you a bit. chris whitney and even hubert davis were moreso "starters" than dixon but the qualification of "opening day starting lineups" messes with your head.

name the Bullets/Wiz that won Most Improved while playing for the WAS franchise.

at one time we had a run of them

99/115 (after adjusting for the Calbert Cheaney bug)

I'm disappointed that I missed Darrell Walker, Christian Laettner, Jarvis Hayes and Pervis Ellison. I also missed A.J. English, Haywood Workman, Muggsy, Larry Robinson, Felipe Lopez, Lorenzo Williams and Bryon Russell.

I think Walker was the last one I got, as I was trying to recall big rebounder playing alongside Bernard King and Jeff Malone; I knew it wasn't Charles Jones, so it had to be...Darrell Walker. What a sad memory.

For some reason, I'm recalling Dave Feitl and Doug Roth, more sad memories.

Off the top of my head, did Don MacLean also win it? What about Pervis?

[keynote]

Yeah; I'm pretty sure that MacLean and Pervis both won that honor.

I got a 100/115: and only started watching the Bullets in the early 90s. Probably would have gotten less in the 1980s had I not guessed for commong names like Malone, Grant, and Jones.

Nice post,

Just seeing the poet as the starting center brought up old feelings for Eddy Jordan.

78 out of 115...the ol brain held on to more than I thought!

[montestewart]

How about the 69-70 Washington Capitols? The only ones I can remember from the time are Rick Barry and Warren Jabali (PG Larry Brown wasn't cemented in at the time, but his later fame reminded me he was part of the team). Any others?
