    Did you really just call John Wall a Gilbert Arenas clone?

    I know? It's crap isn't it?

    John Wall is nowhere near as good as Arenas was!!!

    Not yet. Either way John Wall and Gilbert Arenas games are nothing alike at all. Gilbert Arenas was a scorer with a jumper that was respectable.

    John Wall is a passing pg who can't shoot.

    Or I could just post his shooting percentage

    38% from the field 0% from 3

    Consider it an extreme, but essentially my point stands - the Wizards are trying to build around a Fools Gold PG. Asking your PG to double as your primary scorer is traditionally a bad, bad idea unless you've got a generational talent like Magic. Rose is another possible exception, but the Bulls' sudden stop in the postseason happened because of that double duty.

    Gilbert was a better scorer, Wall's a better passer....but the Wizards are going to at best be marginal as long as they go this route with ~40% volume shooting PGs and no relevant bigs.

    I think they need MAJOR changes... as in a hell of a lot more than their head coach.

    Keep Wall, keep McGee, and try to build a hard-working, defensive team around them.
