Coach Eddie Jordan was generally pleased with what he saw during the Washington Wizards' training camp this past week in Richmond, but he had a few things he wanted to work on when the team returned to Verizon Center yesterday morning for its first post-camp practice.

"Coaches are never satisfied but we're going in the right direction," Jordan said following Friday's camp-closing intrasquad scrimmage in Richmond. "I thought we played hard, we played smart and we played with a lot of organization. We still need to get better defensively as far as picking people up and recognizing situations. Right now, the defense knows our offense so maybe when we get back to Verizon Center, our first practice will be going against an offense other than our own so we can play the defense we are looking for."
