John Wall Vs. Chris Brown in a New Year's Dougie Off

John Wall Records Triple Double, All is Right with the World

John Wall Dougies Through Intros

Last night I went to the Wizards home opener against the Sixers. Some quick thoughts. The Wizards can't play defense. They have talent but are extremely young. They have their franchise PG. I got the chance to watch John Wall live and he provided a glimpse of the future. Final line, 29 points, 13 assists, 9 steals, 8 turnovers. He has the ability to have that extra gear to blow by people and can finish at the rim. Once he develops that jump shot a little more, he might be un-guardable. He also knows when to make the fundamental play and kick it out to a right teammate. A team can be built around him and he has the talent to make players better. Best part, he's only 19. I'm also realistic and can see this team win 35 games. That would be an improvement. And with every game he plays, he'll get better and hopefully cut down on turnovers, which is tough because he always has the ball. At least the Wizards are somewhat watchable again.

Here he is from the starting lineup intros from last night.

More Dancing with Wall, Cousins and Gallon

Yesterday most of the NBA rookies took their NBA rookie shoot. I guess photo shoots can take long so they all had to entertain themselves. Here rookies Tiny Gallon, Demarcus "Boogie" Collins and John Wall get down to "Teach Me How to Dougie" to pass the time. Look at Demarcus' moves. Big man can get down. Guess that's why he was picked so high.

Welcome to DC, John Wall

Usually it's throwback Thursday, but the Wizards drafted stud to be John Wall. Welcome to DC, John Wall.

HOPE

As you can tell from my new picture up top, I'm very excited about the upcoming John Wall pick. Strasburg, Ovechkin, McNabb and Wall usher in 2010-2011. Here are some Wall photo shops I've come across. Yes I'm giddy.

Two Words: John Wall

Well, the Wizards finally had some good karma come their way. Finally, for the 2nd time in their history, they won the NBA Draft Lottery. Yeah yeah I know, Kwame Brown was a bust. But that year, there wasn't really a consensus #1. This year, Wall and then Turner and then the rest. The Wizards were a joke and an embarrassment this year. Started out with promise with "the Big 3" all healthy. After a few impressive early wins, they went on a slide followed by the death of Abe, the infamous game of bourre that led to Gilby and Crittenton drawing guns on each other, suspending them both, Gilby with jail time and eventually dismantling the squad. Caron gone. Jamison gone. Deshawn/Haywood/McGuire gone. No more straw chewing. No more awkward layups. No more hand-waving in front of face.

But alas, finally some good karma. The whole point of conducting a team is to win a championship, not a first round series. And they blew it up. Today with the draft lottery win, it's a start. Now assuming new owner Ted Leonsis isn't an idiot (he's not because he patiently built the Caps from the beginning and removed these joke of what they call banners), Ted will have Ernie take John Wall. A PG for the next 5 years at least.

Now if Miss Cleo is correct, your new starting five will be Wall, Arenas, Lebron, Blatche, McGee. But of course psychics are f'ing dumb.

So Wall, Arenas, Josh Howard, Blatche, Mcgee, with Nick Young and others off the bench. The team was completely gutted, but Wall is definitely a start. We're still a long long long way away until they are even close to competing (Come home Kevin Durant!) but at least there's some sort of hope at the end of this dark tunnel.

Great things happen in 3's. DC's last 3 #1 overall picks: Ovechkin, Strasburg and now Wall. Let's hope the last two are just as awesome as Ovie.

Now get your John Wall dance on.
