    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">On those rare nights last season when the Washington Wizards entered the fourth quarter at Verizon Center holding a comfortable lead, fans sitting behind the Wizards' bench begged Coach Eddie Jordan to "put in the kid."

    On a few occasions, Jordan obliged. Jordan would signal for rookie forward Andray Blatche, who was less than a year removed from playing at a prep school in Connecticut.

    In those moments, the 6-foot-11 Blatche would pop up, adjust his headband and jump onto the court like an eager puppy. Blatche appeared in 29 games and occasionally flashed the ability that encouraged the Wizards to draft him in the second round (49th overall). But mostly he was a late-game novelty on a veteran playoff team.</div>

    I can't wait to see this guy play on the court this season. All I have been hearing are good things and from the 29 games he's played last year, he's looked decent. Hopefully, he'll jump into the next stage and become a key player for the Wizards off the bench.

    I love this kid. He reminds me of a mixture between Garnett and Lewis. Not as good as Garnett, but I do believe he can be better than Rashard Lewis.
