Nene News

I think both the Wizards and Cavs would be better off in the short- and long-term if they swapped picks.

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal --the third overall pick of the 2012 NBA Draft--helped Washington luck out Wednesday, as their 3.5% chance moved them from no.

Hey guys, I wrote this back in March about the Wizards . What do you think about the analysis and how it holds up in retrospect? I write for Bluemanhoop, a warriors blog, but post my other nba thoughts at joemoore.net, if you're interested.

Beal placed third in the Rookie of the Year race behind Lillard and Anthony Davis with 14 second-place votes and a majority 51 third-place votes.

When the Washington Wizards barely were mentioned i n the Defensive Player of the Year voting, we could write it off by saying that writers didn't appreciate the Wizards' work this season.

Jan 30, 2013; Philadelphia, PA, USA; Washington Wizards forward Nene brings the ball up court during the fourth quarter against the Philadelphia 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center.

While Nene played solid at power forward for the Wizards this season, he is aging, and Washington needs to find a long-term solution to the position.

With injuries plaguing the Washington Wizards throughout the majority of the season, there weren't many players on the roster who contributed on a consistent basis.

Karl has finally won a regular season Coach of the Year award. Now, he has to set his sights on the ultimate goal: a championship run with the Nuggets.

Before last week's news that Len was undergoing surgery and would miss the NBA draft workouts, the combine and summer league, it seemed improbable that the 7-foot-1 big man would fall this low.

Jan Vesely had a rookie season to forget, so naturally more was expected of him in his second year in the NBA.

After capping off such a great season last year, I honestly expected Kevin Seraphin to emerge amongst some of the top young big men in the NBA.

One major way the Nets will improve next season is trading Hump's expiring contract and in return getting a player who will contribute a lot more than Hump did this past season.

Nene started the season hurt and never fully recovered. He was a big boost to the team when he played, but his individual production tailed off as the season progressed.

In his first season in the league, the now 19-year-old Beal proved to be a worthy choice as the third overall pick with the Wizards .

Bringing back a 34-year-old free agent big man with limited skills was never among the team's priorities when the season concluded.
