The Wizards have to bring it against the teams they should beat.  That was a lousy effort last night as the Wizards fell to 3-4 on the season.

Etan Thomas will start for the Wizards this season.  All the Wizards want from their centers is good rebounding & defense.  Those qualities were Thomas’ strength in college at Syracuse.  Thomas has averaged 6.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game over his career.  Thomas could easily double those averages with the added playing time he’s going to get this season.

Brendan Haywood will be the back-up.  Haywood has a similar skill-set that Thomas has.  Haywood has averaged 7.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game over his NBA career.

Calvin Booth won’t get much playing time, but he’s a good defender.  Booth has averaged 3.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocked shots per game over his career.

Caron Butler had the best season of his four year career last season.  He averaged 17.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game last year.  Butler is the #3 option on the offense for the Wizards and he plays tough defense.  For his career, Butler has averaged 14.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

Second year player Andray Blatche will be one of the back-ups at small forward.  Blatche didn’t get much playing time as a rookie and only averaged 2.2 points and 1.3 rebounds per game.
