So instead of drafting a Euro to stash him for 2-10 years, we drafted a guy from Iowa and will stash him overseas.

Okay with the pick. During the college season what drew me to White was how often he got to the free throw line.

Nice knowing the Wizards have finally brought in a big that can make his free throw shots.

I saw somebody compare him to Brian Scalabrine. Only in terms of lack of a tan (hopefully).

The kid can play. He has a pretty polished game, can hit shots and will improve with time. Big body, 6'9 decent frame. good rebounded, Good defender, players had and plays with energy. I like this pick better than Obre. I can't wait to see him in summer league.

This has to be the best analytics draft in Wizards history.

Sounds his like his biggest flaw is his defense. He's considered atrocious. A few more pounds and a trip to the D-League for half a season would make more sense than Europe. He does have a 35 inch vertical so he's athletic enough and runs the floor. Decent pick.
