2013 NBA Draft--- 2nd Round Draft Options.

[truwizfan4evr]

would anyone want Temple’s Khalif Wyatt,? Wyatt averaged 20.5 points, 4.0 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.7 steals as a senior, leading Temple (24-10) to the second round of the NCAA tournament.

Known for playing with an edge, Wyatt also has a reputation of playing big in big games. He had 33 points in an 83-79 upset of No. 3 Syracuse, 26 in a 69-62 loss to No. 6 Kansas and 22 in an 83-71 loss to No. 9 Butler. In a 58-52 loss to No. 4 Indiana in the tournament, Wyatt led with 31 points.

The biggest takeaway I got from that article was that B-R has a college database.

Absolutely not. Just say no. Everything I've read and heard from actual front office execs is that the kid has one of the worst attitude problems we've ever seen. He's absolutely volatile and the opposite of the type of player we want to acquire, even if he's really talented. Think way worse than Cousins. Nobody likes the kid. I think he's going to fall into the 40s or 50s, even if he might have lottery talent. It's that bad.

I don't exactly what "playing with an edge" means, but I just looked at his game log. He had quite a few big games against some really good teams, and some in his junior year too. He got 4 apg. Did he ever play PG in stretches that you know of? Also, wonder why he has no measurements listed on DX? Looks interesting, but don't know enough.

I'm surely late but never saw this before:

Miss watching JWall do that work. Can't wait til next year. Draft anybody and lets play.

I think the success of Stephenson(although his issues seem and potential of Cousins will likely cause a team to take a chance in the early 1st round on him. The Wizards should probably take Wolters ahead of him, most teams would probably gamble on the higher upside. I can't see any team taking Goodwin or Lorenzo Brown ahead of him.

This exactly why I draft him
John wall will do that to anybody in the nba btw
He actually kinda skilled and tht attitude is needed as a spark of the bench...if hes anywhere near stephenson or even big balls crawford I would be happy...our bench other than crawford lacked any attitude, guts or mentality period...

I agree with you guys that Lance Stephenson's huge developmental jump this past season and his performance late in the playoffs could help ease people's concerns about Ledo quite a bit. The comparison is convenient, but incredibly valid, IMO.

Stephenson serves as proof that even if it takes a few years, you can transform a talented player with a terrible attitude into a productive player.

However, the Wizards will not and should not be that team. For the first time in the last decade we have rid ourselves of our cliche knuckleheads. Let's enjoy that for a bit and let the locker room be at ease and develop a team-first culture for at least a few more seasons before we try and take on a notoriously mean and disruptive personality.

Yes, Ledo might have lottery talent, and it's a shame that we could get a player of his skill level at the 38th pick, but we have to just let him go to another team. Let him be their problem. We're not ready for that quite yet, if ever.

A nice mantra that I like to go by is "would the Spurs draft/sign him?" It has proven to be a very very very reliable method of evaluating whether or not we should pursue certain players, in my experience. And the answer to that question on Ledo is "never in a million years."

[doclinkin]

In the past Ricky Ledo is an Ernie pick no question. He loves talent at a discount, getting better value because other teams are scared of them. Sprewell is the prime example. But he's under a no-knucklehead mandate (Teddy's 10pt plan) and I suspect the Crittendon incident ( I won't sully Gil with that since it has become clear who was the real loose cannon here) has made him back off from that.

Watching Ledo's interview on DX though -- something definitely seems off about that kid. Yeah he's nervous and a kid and has to ace the interviews and workouts since he has no NCAA track record, but all the licking and lip biting makes me think of rabies. Should be a fun post-game interview though!

But maybe we get the Ricky Ledo/Norvel Pelle sweep with our late pick or undrafted pick-ups:

But maybe we get the Ricky Ledo/Norvel Pelle sweep with our late pick or undrafted pick-ups:

If Bojan Dubljevic is gone, I think Pelle might be the best project big with the late 2nd. Muscala really is the only projected 2nd round big I am sure is a lot better pick than Pelle.

Hahaha thank you for sharing this, this is EXACTLY what I'm talking about and goes in line with what I've heard. In my experience, the most common description of Ricky Ledo is simply "@$$hole". The guy's a loser. We don't need him.

If Bojan Dubljevic is gone, I think Pelle might be the best project big with the late 2nd.

Once again: I wish we had a D-League team of our own.

[AWIZZINGBULLET]

Had no clue the Wizards had any interest in Carmichael, very happy he's being brought in along with Porter today. Hope he impresses, I think he will.

I think the Wizards are thinking more along the lines of a player like this at the 4 spot than Ersan Ilyasova. Seems to fill the role of the type of player Wall mentioned when he talked about a pick-and-pop guy at the 4.

[Liverbird]

It would make many posters happy.

Reminds me of Boozer. Jab step - jab step - pull up.

[SUPERBALLMAN]

2nd round I want Erik Murphy and/or Colton Iverson.
