I think he returns to a more effective form when they return to using him how he was used when he was more efficient. Some player are just more effective in different roles.

Interesting interview.

It appears neither had any heads up that they were getting traded and haven't talked with Wizards management about their roles. Okafor says " I assume we will be starting "

The entire tone of the interview strikes me as two guys that really just got pulled out of their beds in the middle of the night.

Trevor does talk about how he played with Wall recently and how good his J has gotten. Trevor seems like he will blend in more easily between the two. He seems like a low key dude who will do what they ask of him no questions. Trevor has come off the bench before and been productive. And he was a 2nd round 43 pick so he is just happy he made it in the NBA. Okafor seems a little more full of himself and his personality doesn't seem like as smooth a fit with the team. And he does that strange nervous head bobbing up and down thing. Something tells me Trevor stays for both years and Okafor probably doesn't. Maybe he does but I wouldn't be surprised at all if he get moved.

Trevor averages 1.7 steals a game the last four years. Energy defender who likes to get out on the break and slash to the rack for the dunk. That should work well with Wall and it's something we didnt see C Singleton do enough of last year. Trev was an energy guy that did his best most efficient work in 20 minutes or less off the bench. Lets hope a return to that amount of minutes will do him good. As he says in the interview. He is still learning what he can do and what he can't. At 26 and bouncing around, I can understand why he says that. Being a starter playing 30 + minutes was different for him. I don't think he will be playing much more then 20 minutes a game for the Wizards. I think Randy will return him to his old role where he is more efficient. I think he will then return to a .450 or better scorer. Energy, D, running the court, slashing to the rack and dunks. Trevor will be productive for the Wizards.

Not really sure what form he's going to be returning to. He's never been anything particularly special, nor has he ever been anything particularly terrible. He kinda is what he is -- a low efficiency scorer and an active perimeter defender.

He's not the kind of player who is going to elicit a "love or hate" reaction. We're all going to be fairly "meh" on the guy.
