Wizards in trouble..

[Full Surface]

As of right now, it has been confirmed that Tyronn Lue will be out for a least 10 days. And with Larry Hughes in the injured list as well, there's only one point guard left: Juan Dixon. I like the guy, he has good potential and could be an AllStar in the near future.. What do you think about him?

[Andrew]

Decent, but the loss of Lue on top of Hughes being out is a heavy blow, and will require both Jordan and Stackhouse to handle the playmaking duties. However, Dixon might be able to step into that role - since draft day he's been listed as a good investment.

Well, I think the best position for Mike is point gaurd, although he is making me think otherwise lately. I think have MJ run the show as the point gaurd on offense, have Dixon at the 2 spot and Stack as the small forward. On defense, just shift Dixon on the pg, and Mike on the two guard. I don't think Dixon can create shots for others so thats why I think have Jordan as the pg

Jordan is better defending most SF's because SG's are often too fast for his old legs...Juan Dixon shouldn't be an all-star in the near future (8 years at least before he is...) as the only reason he's starting is because of injuries to Hughes and Lue...he's going to need to bulk up because he doesn't have the fight of Iverson, and everyone in the league knows that if you can get him to miss early it will take him out of his game and he's much eaiser to defend...but if you let him get those first few shots he can light it up like he did in college...Dixon is a better player and better defender than Lue (who is not a great defender at all...yet has a faulty reputation because he held onto Iverson in 2001 after Fisher was proved useless trying to play a legal defense) however Dixon has no playmaking skillz and that's why Lue gets all the nods over him...though I think Dixon should get more time because of the simple fact that Jordan and especially Stackhouse are better playmakers than either Lue or Hughes...

Dixon can't run the point, his decision making is not good.

Hey! How about signing Tim Hardaway to a 10 day contract? Haha, j/k.

[mp3]

the wizards have signed Anthony Goldwire to a 10-day contract.

[Full Surface]

Hehe good choice.

[Clinton]

I would have gone with Timmy.

Larry Who? Tyronn Who?? Juan Dixon was on fire in the Wizards win over the Bulls. He scored 27 points (10 of 17 fgs, 4 of 8 threes.) and had 6 boards in the Wizards 101-93 win. They guy he was guarding had a less spectacular game. Jay Will only had 2 points (1 of 8 fgs) and 4 assists. Wizards don't look to be in too much trouble so far.
