Wizards 2001-02 roster before Regular season

Notes:
Could do with another Small Forward, Centre position could use an upgrade.

Transactions as of the beginning of the 01/02 Season:



Theo Ratliff who was part of the 76ers last season has been added and has taken the starting Centre role.
We have taken a chance and shipped 2001 draftee Etan Thomas (C) and a 2003 Second round pick (WAS) to San Antonio. Possibly gave up too much but Jackson looks like a role player and we had too many Centers.

Roster at the start of the 2001-02 regular season.



We are testing out Kwame Brown as a Power Forward to give him some minutes.

Depth projections

Up next, first month of the season!

[bradvcf]

First month was almost as expected, a 1-6 start has the team rock bottom of not just the Division but the Conference. Luckily the Clippers are saving the team from being the worst in the league.




The stats aren't that impressive either, MJ on a low 13.3 PPG, some way off Tim Duncan's league leading 39.4 PPG.



Injuries to Ratliff, Laettner, Lue and Alexander haven't helped the cause, neither has the coach ignoring the rotations and not giving minutes to Simmonds and Jackson.

Here is our only victory for the Season so far



November Fixtures are as follows
