False now

You mean Wall isn't a star now?

Bold position to take after the first two games this season.

Kevin, you didn't tell us you were writing for Vice. Congratulations.

I would like to know however how you project Oubre to have a PPA of 78 and Porter an 87???

The "Wall isn't a superstar" statement is false now because he is.

Not going to lie, half the reason I come to these threads is because Millie. It's like watching Jerry springer where just when I didn't think things could be more crazy, become more crazy.

Thanks, but I don't know whether it will continue. This was a one-off freelance thing. It'd be nice to do something regular with them. Gotta say it was a great experience. The editor I worked with was terrific.

My system is based on my similars machine. Porter was pretty meh last season, and his closest comps were similarly meh (similar production at similar age). Those comps improved, but modestly. The guys who made bigger leaps did so when they were a bit older.

Projecting rookies is tougher, but is again based on the similars machine. Oubre's "most similar" group from college tended to have decent rookie years.

So, in other words, no part of what you quoted is false.

I see. Well I hope Oubre even reaches "meh" level this year. He's looked bad so far (which is fine, he's 19, and I don't expect much).

My guess is that your estimate on Porter will be low. Last year he was playing with bench players and his off the ball cuts to the basket were routinely ignored.

Millie - what is your win projection for this year's team? And what seed will they have in the EC?

You're wrong. I've participated in other threads. No Grunfeld worship. Just calling a spade a spade. Why it gotta be worship just to give the man his props? By refusing, you're actually just being a Grunfeld hater.

In addition to the draft picks, guys like Sessions, Neal and Dudley were great additions to the team who have contributed and look to come up big off the bench this season.

Hes back the season can officially begin again

He'll say 73-9 and a NBA Championship and Ernie winning Executive of the Year

The Wizards have won two close games over teams that are a combined 0-6, clear evidence that we are witnessing a budding dynasty.

If the Wizards went 73-9, Grunfeld would deserve Executive of the Year.

Not really into making specific win/loss projection numbers for the season. I will say that the Wizards are a playoff team again this year. Our success relies on Wall and Beal staying healthy and playing at a high level. A little concerned about Otto. Not sure whether or not his hustle alone replaces the production of Pierce on the offensive end. Also would like to see Otto be more aggressive on the offensive end and use his length to attack the basket more frequently and draw fouls rather than just waiting for the ball and game to come to him. Wall and Beal will need all the help they can get. The front court has been getting abused by our opponents big men.

On the bright side, the season is only 3 games in. Guys still need time to shake off the rust and that includes coaches as well as they make adjustments in the lineups to gauge what is most effective going forward. No need to panic.

Wall is already an allstar and Beal looks poised to join him this year as both seem mature enough put the team on their backs and win games all by themselves.

Coach Randy can feel comfortable with resting Wall for longer periods because Sessions has shown that he can command the second unit and maintain the uptempo pace.

Nene got off to a rough start against Orlando, but has redeemed himself and will benefit health wise from coming off the bench.

I think Dudley, Neal and Anderson were good cost effective additions that gives Wall outside shooting options when he penetrates.

Wizards look to compete again in the East. Of course, anything can change dramatically with injuries but that is out of the control of the players, coaches and management. All teams suffer injuries.

A huge plus is that this teams foundation core is set, with the promise of legitimately adding a superstar free agent next off-season. The future looks very promising.

Nice - no projections - future looks bright

An assessment of the development of the players and direction of the team as a whole is worth more than a number. The team is talented and is in a position to compete each game. That's the ultimate goal when you look at how to build a team.
