Given that I have liked Seraphin *a lot* and hoped we could get him ever since I first saw footage on the guy in the Spring, and given that I have mucho respect for doclinkin's analyses -- I am of the exact same counsel. This kid could be very big for us. On Josh Howard: Now that I understand that his contract protects us from a late return and against an early departure due to a subsequent injury, I feel different about the signing. I'm fine with it. No, I don't think Howard either did anything special for us in his 3 games plus 7 minutes, and no I don't think he'll do anything special this year either, but he is *certainly* better than the veteran minimum type guy I expected to sign. And, Rick, you are right that for this role we needed a veteran not a rookie on the draft bubble. So... my bad on the Josh Howard signing. Doc says Seraphin is key to our future.

In one sequence, Seraphin blocks Cousins at one end, hustles out to the other end and dunks, then hustles back and blocks John Wall's layup. I don't know if that qualifies as "special," but I'm pretty sure I couldn't do it! :) You didn’t see him do anything special, dcbutler?

I just don't see him being able to compete with 7'+ NBA centers. Many Euro League players have looked good in that league where defense usually consists of pushing and shoving. However, we might have uncovered the rare gem from that league. We'll see. I really hope that Seraphin will be a big contributor to the Wizards future, but at 6’9″ 265 lbs.

Seraphin recently reached a buyout agreement with his French club, Cholet, with the Wizards paying $500,000 to free him from his obligations, according to his agent, Bouna Ndiaye. As the 17th overall pick, Seraphin can sign a two-year deal worth about $2.7 million, with the Wizards holding team options for the next two years. With Josh Howard expected to sign a one-year deal Thursday, the Wizards payroll now stands at roughing $53 million, which still gives them about $5 million to fill out the roster.
