<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> The fear is gone. Washington Wizards second-year reserve point guard Steve Blake isn't worried anymore about the left foot that caused him setback after setback earlier this season. Blake is healthy for the first time in months -- but he isn't exactly the same setup and assist man the team expected him to be when he came back. Instead, Blake has become the perimeter shooter the team desperately needs with injuries to Antawn Jamison (right knee tendinitis), Jarvis Hayes (fractured right patella), Juan Dixon (sprained right ankle) and Anthony Peeler (sore right knee). Blake doesn't have the prettiest shot -- his wrist flicks the ball as if he were dealing cards -- but after tying his career high with five three-pointers in the Wizards' 96-95 win over Utah on Saturday, he leads the Wizards in three-point shooting at 45 percent (27 of 60). </div> Source
I love Blake. I want to keep him, he is a spark off of the bench most of the time. He has good court vision and he can knock down the three. He is the perfect role/bench player that Washington needs, and keeping him is a must.
