14 players in a new system: Dominic McGuire
Also see: An introduction to the series | Mike James | Javaris Crittenton | DeShawn Stevenson | Fabricio Oberto | Nick Young | JaVale McGee Injuries and improved play allowed Dominic McGuire to start 57 games last year, but early indications are that he won't come close to approaching that this...
Training camp bullets.
Training camp looks horribly boring. Meticulous practice. If you are not really into the Hawks, you would need to drink heavily to get through this look in. That being said I could not turn it off, and I was not drinking. Mike Woodson was big ten player of the year and only played 14 games....
DeShawn Stevenson is healthy and back to normal ... but is he in the picture?
RICHMOND -- DeShawn Stevenson understands if you rain on him for his miserable 2008/09 campaign, one that saw him slouch his badly-injured back through 32 games while shooting at a 31.2-percent clip. He may not like your criticisms, but he understands that it's all part of being a professional...
Training camp day 7 notes
I imagine a lot of you tuned in to the NBA.com Real Training Camp stream of today's practice. For those who didn't, you will be able to check it out on NBA.com after it airs on NBATV tonight at 10 p.m. I didn't get to watch any of it, but from what it seemed, they were actually showing some...
Open Thread: NBA.com airing Wizards' practice live at 10:30 a.m.
UPDATE: If you can't watch the livestream now, it's reairing at 10 pm tonight on NBATV. Howdy folks, I'm back in the saddle and on my way to Richmond to continue to cover the Wizards' training camp for you guys. Kyle filled in with some coverage over the weekend, and the two Mikes were also there...
The growing continues for JaVale McGee
RICHMOND, VA -- Flip Saunders isn't the type of coach to badmouth his players publicly. Ask him about Gilbert Arenas, and Saunders will praise his competitiveness, his love of the game and his basketball IQ. Ask Saunders about Andray Blatche and Nick Young, and Saunders will go on about how much...
Caron Butler says he wants to be "the best defensive player I can possibly be"
UPDATE: Audio of Butler posted below after the jump. RICHMOND -- Every year since he became a Washington Wizard, Caron Butler has done something to improve his game and his body. Three summers ago, he cut out a lot of his poor dietary habits and became an all-star. Two summers ago, he changed his...
Notes from the last couple days of training camp
Real quick, before I listen through the tape. Gilbert Arenas' knee looked fine today in the brief time we were able to see him. Flip Saunders says he's progressing well there and that part of the motivation for sitting him in previous scrimmages is to protect Arenas from overworking himself. ...
Gilbert Arenas sits out scrimmages, because of a bad finger (officially at least)
UPDATE: The Wizards just said the injury is a "dislocated middle finger." RICHMOND -- For the second straight day, Gilbert Arenas did not participate in any of the Wizards' training camp scrimmages, though he did partake in all the drills beforehand. The official reason is because of a...
