Marreese Speights — Well, it’s just summer league, and all that, but this kid looks like he has it all. He is cat-quick, incredibly strong, has great hands, shoots well, rebounds like a monster, what more is there to say about him. Earlier in the day, I watched Sac’to. and their 12th pick, Jason Thompson. He was very impressive, but Speights lapped him. He looks like he will be an all star. I wouldn’t be surprised if he were a RoY candidate.

Jason Smith — Never known as a rebounder, but we let him get 11 of them on us. He shoots well and seems to understand the game.

Jamont Gordon — Unless he is a head-case, I can’t imagine this guy failing to make the league. He has great size and athleticism, a good handle, and seems to understand what’s going on on the court. He had 7 assists in 24 minutes and grabbed 4 rebounds as well. I don’t know what we’ve guaranteed to Dee Brown, but I would be likely to take a chance on Gordon if Philly doesn’t have room for him.

I don’t know what to say about Nick. Basketball seems to be a pick-up game to him. He has terrific gifts; it’ll be a shame if he can’t turn them into a terrific game.

Dom played well in stretches, and then made a few bonehead moves. Like last year, he showed that he can pass. He looked very athletic, and he is definitely at a better weight. He has been working on his shot too. In all, he was probably our best player last night.

Javale was our 2d best player; he showed terrific athleticism — I think he is a great prospect. He also rebounded. He was pretty much the only Wizard who did. We got only 3 offensive boards last night, all of them by Javale.

Forbes got a start last night, and I watched him pretty closely. I don’t think he has a chance of sticking; he is a skilled player with good moves and a good understanding of the game. But, he lacks athleticism. He doesn’t have a first step, and he doesn’t rise quickly. The way he plays, he has to be able to get his own shot, and he can’t do that at this level.

I guess you can see why I liked Speights during the run up to the draft, huh?

I’ll comment at some point tomorrow, don’t know when as it’s a busy day.

Nick Young was just horrible, that much is obvious.
