Thankfully, his usage rate is 25.4 (not weighted) the last 8 games. One more... Otto's 3pt% splits: OCT - 28% NOV - 41% DEC - 40% JAN - 46% Shoot Otto Shoot! I love the fact that Porter is making his 3's and they seem to be playing better. Beal is putting in 30 point games!!! Why can't Beal be this same guy with Wall? Beal's "this is my house gesture" where is that aggresiveness along with Walls when on the court together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to be aggressive with Wall hogging the ball the whole time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pass the ball, defend, set screens. Be a good teammate. Do what it takes to win. PGs run the show. If your solution is for Beal to "demand for the ball," there's a problem.

Wall isn't doing anything wrong if this same Beal doesn't show up with a healthy Wall. When on the court together I never seen this "Aggressive" Beal is show up so I have no problem with Wall taking that role if no one else would do so.

Wall isn't an efficient scorer though, so you should have a problem with Wall doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to find a way to get this Beal out there when Wall returns. Part of it being IMO Beal demanding for the ball more in crunch time.

Suggesting that Beal wasn't aggressive, when Wall was playing, is absolutely false. I've never heard that narrative... not once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard that narrative... not once. Where are these 30 point games while Wall is playing? Wall is not a selfish PG, his is a passing PG. Walls number one ability is getting to the basket creating open shots and scoring opportunities for others. I just would like to see all 3 guys Wall, Beal, and Porter play at the level their all capable of playing at Together! Wall and Beal should give you 25 a night a piece. While Porter gives another 17-20. Thats about 70 points from the top paid players. Beal with at least 15 thirty point games. Trade deadline is coming soon we can see if anyone is moved.

I didn't sign Porter before trying to see if PG would be a option or go after other favorable Free Agents nor did I hire Ernie Grunfield. So no I'm not fine with mediocrity.

Skinsin2013 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Suggesting Wall is a passing PG... that should then have 25 PPGs. Also, you shouldn't get all upset when a guy (Wall) with a 20-25% usage rate is removed and other players' stats go up. They're eating up his usage rate. Happens all the time. You don't just put him back on the team and expect everyone else to maintain said stats. Wall will eat their usage rate up. What you should be upset with is that we're playing harder, and winning more, WITHOUT him. Net ratings are up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 How bad/top-heavy is the East? At 14 games out of first place, the Wizards are only 4 games out of the #6 seed, while six games under 0.500. On the plus side, they are 7-3 in their last ten, so they've got that going for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
