Nene is a one-man tank buster.

There will be no tanking the rest of this season. I hope Nene can stay healthy, because he is a very good player who will help this team win a lot more games.

...TONIGHT WAS AWESOME! I've never seen a legitimately good two-way big in a Wizard's uniform. I don't know what to make of this. Everything looked better. I already have a mancrush on Nene.

Loved the trade when it was announced, love it now.
Now, can we puhhhh-leeese get Buck to pronounce his name correctly? "Nanet"? Really, Buck?

Oh we definitely have flaws but when we traded for Nene, I don't think we got worse in any aspect and simply improved in many more.
I guess you could argue defensive rebounding but I'd make the argument that, while McGee had a good dreb%, he didn't have a great impact on our team rebounding. Nene seems like one of those guys who may not put up great rebounding numbers but his team rebounds better with him on the floor.

“Yes, yes, we gonna do everything what we can,” Nene said. “You can change a lot of things, man, when you have dedication, love, patience. That is not only with him, but other young players, about the game. They can develop, and when you see the team’s getting better, you get better too. You want to make part of the group and how it is.
