i was as suprised as the widow. good for the wiz.

Count me in as the third person suprised at this. Given how horrible the Wizards have been in the lottery over the years (summarized in great detail in today's WaPo) I wasn't expecting this but I am very happy we won the John Wall sweepstakes.

if he can do for the dc basketball s what he did for the caps, he really IS a frickin wizard.

So I guess the Polins were just unlucky.

This is awesome. With all that money to throw around and presumably Wall coming in, Washington suddenly becomes a much more attractive free agency destination as well. Only up from here boys.

I'm soooo pumped about this. Wall is a nasty pass-first PG who can play lockdown D and score from anywhere. Gilbert Arenas, welcome to the 2 guard spot.

Would anybody be upset if we picked Evan Turner?

I wouldn't be upset to have a player with Turner's potential, but I don't see any way we can pass up on a prospect of Wall's caliber. Seperate of John Wall, I think Evan Turner will pan out to be a very good player. But I'm not even blinking if I have choice between the two. And the Wizards have that choice.

Completely agree. You've got to take the best player at number one, not draft for need. He's going to be an elite point guard on our team for the next decade. I even think he'll be able to play with Gil, who I think will have an outstanding season.

Excited for the Wall-shington Wizards to improve.
