The Wizards won the draft lottery and they chose 20-year old point guard John Wall with the pick. Wall will be the starting point guard from day #1 for the Wizards. He played in 37 games last season in his only year at Kentucky and he averaged 34.8 minutes, 16.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game. Wall will likely get his fair share of points as a rookie but I also think he will rack up some solid assists numbers too. I think he will get even better than he was at Kentucky for the Wizards this year as the sky is the limit with him.

29-year old Kirk Hinrich is a solid combo guard who will also backup Agent Zero at shooting guard. Hinrich played in 74 games (53 starts) for the Bulls last season and he averaged 33.5 minutes, 10.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game. He has now played in 514 games (433 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 34.0 minutes, 13.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Hinrich will be a fine #3 guard for the Wizards capable of starting if either John Wall or Gilbert Arenas are injured…..or suspended.

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE WIZARDS POINT GUARDS IN 2010-11: B

The Wizards have invited 26-year old small forward Adam Morrison to training camp. Morrison played in 31 games (0 starts) for the Lakers last season and he averaged 7.8 minutes, 2.4 points, 1.0 rebound and 0.6 assists per game. He has now played in 161 games (28 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 20.4 minutes, 7.5 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. Morrison has only shot 37.3% from the floor in his career so he will have to shape up in order to win a job off the Wizards bench and get his career back on track.

UPDATE: (10/21/2010) - The Wizards have released Adam Morrison.

The Wizards have invited 25-year old small forward Cartier Martin, 35-year old F/C Sean Marks and 26-year old shooting guard Lester Hudson to training camp where they will all be competing for bench spots. Martin will have the best chance of making the team as he played with the Wizards at the end of the 2009-10 season. Martin played in 18 games (2 starts) with the Warriors & Wizards last season in which he averaged 21.7 minutes, 7.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. He has now played in 51 games (3 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 12.9 minutes, 4.5 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. Sean Marks played in 14 games (0 starts) for the Hornets last season and he averaged 5.4 minutes, 0.7 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.1 assists per game. Marks has now played in 201 games (11 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 10.3 minutes, 3.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game. Lester Hudson played in 25 games (0 starts) for the Grizzlies & Celtics as a rookie last year and he averaged 5.2 minutes, 2.3 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. None of these guys are likely to play big minutes for the Wizards in 2010 but it doesn’t hurt to give them a chance to show what they can do in training camp.
