Official Wizards Draft Thread: Version 2.0

[spaceman_E]

I really like our draft. Walker can be our backup 3 man this year if he's healthy. If he's not, oh well, he was the 47th pick. Great choice.

[newslowsad]

Dave Johnson reported on the Wizards blog that doctors and lawyers were in the room before the pick was announced. Hilarious.

I laughed at that too.

[mhd]

I;m stunned that Hendrix has not gotten picked yet. Perhaps NBA teams know something we don't?

[Ji]

more exciting than our 1st pick.

[tsvqt]

nice, bill walker, a name i know. maybe he can back up caron?

Exactly...if healthy, he has surely talked the talk about his game being NBA-Ready and not suited for college but for the Pros!! If so, he moves ahead of McGuire. I like this pick. OKI, for those who have seen me HATE on the McGee pick....if healthy, WALKER will be a better PRO. I said it. It is written, so it shall be done.

Bill Walker is a good pick. i'm a bit dissapointed EG passed on Richard Hendrix but Walker is a potential steal at #47.

If it wasn't for his knee injury, Walker would be a 1st rounder. He's got late lottery to mid-first round talent.

My main concern with Walker is introducing his bulky knee to the Wizards medical staff. I could an amputation happenning somewhere down the line...

Walker, if he can get healthy and remain so, will likely be a better pick than McGee.

OMG - that's not funny, dat.

Bill Walker?!?!?!

I dunno what to say

he has potential but needs to stay healthy.

I liked him at K-State but I dunno where he'd fit on this team right now.

Where does Javale McGee fit on our team right now

[Ji]

we really should of drafted a doctor in the 2nd round

[Rafael122]

It's true Pine. The Medical Staff probably thinks Walker has the healthiest legs on the team.

[bobcatsinfour]

I LOVE the pick for you guys, and even better, the Suns don't get him.

[closg00]

We drafted him so that Gilbert would have someone to talk knee troubles with.

[pineappleheadindc]

It's true Pine. The Medical Staff probably thinks Walker has the healthiest legs on the team.

Sadly, I have to agree with you.

That's the tragic part.

[Soup's Uncle]

Maybe him and Gilbert can rehab meniscus' together. It went real well for Gil.

[pineappleheadindc]

WTF - Portland playing the draft like a Monopoly-like board game.

[Soup's Uncle]

"Hey Gil, how did your rehab go?"

"I came back to early twice."

"Why'd you do that?"

"The Team doctors said I could...you should be straight."

[Wizards2Lottery]

LOL this guy has knee problems. Medical staff is licking its chops.

[tsvqt]

We need a 3rd PG in free agency - unless we are gonna re-sign RMJ and make him the emergency combo G.

Chris Lofton if undrafted. Okay he's a gunner, not even really a combo guard. But mman he can hit soem crazy creative shots in traffic and from waay downtown.

So, sounds like you're trying to pick up ANTWAN JAMISON.

[JWizmentality]

Portland WTF

[Wizardspride]

I know many of you are upset with the selection of McGee but if you sit back and think about it...we do have a pretty good core of talented young players. I'm counting Walker as part of that group because I'm fairly confident that he will make the team and be a good player.

[spaceman_E]

Why is EVERYONe sleeping on the return of Etan? I know he's not a special player but he is a pretty decent backup and can add muscle, a few blocks, and a couple post moves in between turnovers.
