| Wow. New ownership has already brought with it good luck from the capitals. Maybe this is the beginning of a whole new era for DC area sports? God I hope so. |

| Definitely get Wall.. move G.A. to his proper 2 spot.. hopefully we can make a play for Amare or Bosch.. maybe both since we have $$$ to spend. |

Ummmm maybe its, because the "other" sports franchises seem to be operating in a more professional manner? |

Right now the Wiz pick at #4. This guy makes it to us in a lot of mocks.
By Paul Banks
Harisson Barnes, Small Forward, 6' 8", 210#, Sophomore, UNC
Strengths:
Sweet outside stroke
Pull-up jump shot
Creates his own shot
Using ball fakes to create space on jumpers
Athleticism
Great body control when finishing around the rim
Outstanding in transition
Backs down smaller defenders
Outstanding work ethic
High character
Weaknesses:
Ball-handling
Too often settles for jump shot
Shot selection
Need to get stronger
Aggressiveness on the glass
Summary: Despite struggling with the high expectations cast upon him before he even stepped onto the floor as a Tar Heel, Barnes lived up to his potential near the end of the season. He has a complete all-around game on the offensive end, and if he picks up where he left off during his sophomore season, he has a real chance of being the top overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft.
Player Comparison: Tracy McGrady. Think T-Mac early in his career; not the washed-up, injury-riddled version we have seen the past couple of years. Barnes has an offensive game similar to McGrady, though McGrady was more skilled than Barnes with the ball in his hands. Barnes can create his own shots, get to the basket and use his size to back down opponents. He is still loaded with potential and is still trying to become a true threat from the perimeter just like McGrady in his early NBA days. |

| Only problem Darth, Wall is gonna be gone as soon as his contract is up buddy. There's no way he'll want to stay here, even if we have the top picks every year while he's here... that youngster is GHOST! |
