Bullets Forever Cartier Martin should be our starting SG for the rest of the year



Not actually, but he's probably our best 3-pt shooter now, and gives us the best floor spacing/height combo of any perimeter player on the roster. I would not be upset to see him get 15-20 minutes a game... that's just how bad we are. Also, I have a slightly irrational man-crush on Cartier, but that is besides the point. Thoughts? It is very sad but very true that J-Craw is very far from reaching his ceiling (which is probably no higher than Jamal Crawford-type sixth man...)

Bullets Forever 2012 Draft - SG's?


So chances are we have a top 4 pick, and Davis is going number 1 so we're probably gonna end up with Barnes, Robinson, maybe Beal if we reach... (here's hoping we don't draft MKG, Sullinger, Drummond). Now I'm mostly okay with that but wouldn't be proposed to a draft day deal to get us some lower picks. That said, I was wondering what the BF community's thoughts on SG prospects are.

Bradley Beal - we've written a lot about him; probably a top-8 pick.

Jeremy Lamb - also written a lot about him. Lottery pick.

Terrence Ross - top 20. Thoughts?

Doron Lamb - more of a combo-guard who's used exclusively as a SG this year. Thoughts? I feel like he's one of the few combo guards who could really play well with John, but knowing JCraw is on the bench (or should be), would it be better to have a more traditional 2?

John Jenkins - lights out shooter. Could be available with our 2nd round pick, but I kind of doubt it...

Anyone I'm missing? Should we be targeting any of the above? Or are free agent prospects better?

Bullets Forever Courtney Lee



Is rotting on the Rockets bench right now. I'd love to steal this player away, given his excellent perimeter defense, and an ability to knock down the 3. I think a Wall/Hinrich/Young/Lee backcourt would rank among the best in the league on defense (not that it would make our team/interior defense any better), and Lee is a decent shooter. Okay, granted when he was jacking up shots for the Nets he wasn't good, but on the Magic in his rookie year he averaged 1.1 3's a game on 40.4 3P&, and this year he's had a limited opportunity, but is averaging 39% from 3PT.

Bullets Forever Where can I watch old playoff games?



Hey Wizards fans,

I've been wondering about this for a while, and figured if anyone would know, it'd be someone on BF. Is there anywhere, preferably free/online, where I can watch Wizards playoff games from the 2000's? I've only been watching the Wizards since the Gilbert Arenas era started, and watched those games, but would like to re-analyze them and his performance now that I'm more knowledgeable about the game. Thanks guys.

Bullets Forever What does this mean?



I'm just wondering what the recent contract extension given to Nick Young means. I feel like there aren't really enough shots/minutes on this team for Nick Young (who has not impressed), and I think he should be traded (packaged with James for a big, hopefully). I'm confident I'm not alone in this sentiment. Will the extension make it more/less likely that he's traded? Will it affect his value? Does it mean the Wizards don't want to/want to trade him?

 

Thanks
