I looked through 82games.com and found that Brendan Haywood has not played 1 minute at the power forward position in his entire NBA career.

Exactly. Playing Brendan Haywood at PF makes about as much sense as playing Darius Songaila at C.

Actually, he's a better two guard...NOT!
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

How many minutes did DSong play a the 5 spot last year? EJ loves that small ball....... :party: When we go small, I go get another beer. Helps with my issues.

BH playing the PoweF, NO!

Brendan can play alongside Blatche or IMO Etan Thomas.

Most will say he can't play alongside Thomas, (in which case I think Haywood's the PF on offense) but I believe he can. One's a great offensive rebounder (Haywood) and the other a great defensive rebounder (Thomas).

I think if he plays with Thomas, Haywood's face up game and his improved shooting from 10-15 feet out would make him effective at PF on offense.

HOWEVER, Eddie Jordan will NEVER play his two most aggressive bigs together. NEVER.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

I'm going to go with No too.

But I guess the real answer is I suppose so, but why would you?
