http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/s...-to-be-Wizards-starting-center-103014089.html “It’s just exciting,” said Armstrong. “I can’t wait. I’ve been waiting all summer since I signed here, and I’m really excited and enthusiastic about just coming here and getting started.” A breakout season for the 25-year-old, 6-foot-11 Armstrong after spending his first four NBA seasons as a token reserve center averaging just 3.4 points and 2.6 rebounds would also be fun. He is nursing a slight left hand injury – he writes with the right – with three knuckles and his index finger taped up but said he’ll be ready for camp. (Speaking of injuries, Seraphin said his knee was fine, but we’ll have to work on more from him down the road. With my zero-French and Seraphin on the way out the door, it wasn’t the right situation to push through a long interview. Through an interpreter, Seraphin also said he was bummed to miss the FIBA World Championships since they only come around every four years. As for his impressions of the Wizards: “I like this team.”) “Every season I started, I was in New Orleans, and I had to play backup behind Tyson [Chandler] and whoever else was there,” said Armstrong. “But this year, I’m just coming in and playing hard, and right now, I feel like it’s an open spot for the starting spot. I’m just going to play as hard as I can to get the spot, but even I don’t, I’m still going to play as hard as I can to help the team out, get some wins and try to get to the playoffs.”
