|
| | | WASHINGTON: GUARDS: Late last year, JOHN WALL finally started to fulfill his promising talent. He got wherever he wanted on the court, and the Wizards were very tough to guard with all the shooters surrounding him . . . BRADLEY BEAL and Wall should mesh beautifully. Beal is a potentially elite shooter, and he rebounds very well for a guard . . . ERIC MAYNOR is fully healthy again after tearing his ACL two seasons ago. He can play some alongside Wall, but mostly he'll be the league's best back-up point guard again . . . GLEN RICE JR. doesn't shoot it nearly as well as his father, but he's an athlete who could break into the rotation down the line . . . GARRETT TEMPLE is insurance in case Wall or Maynor goes down. FORWARDS: The Wizards need NENÊ’S low post offense. It seems inevitable that they'll have to cap his minutes . . . OTTO PORTER is likely to step into the starting lineup early on. They need his defense, as he can guard twos through fours . . . MARTELL WEBSTER will platoon with Porter, providing another outstanding shooter for Wall to feed . . . TREVOR ARIZA is playing out the string on an untradeable deal . . . TREVOR BOOKER has some use as a screener and low-post banger, but not much else . . . AL HARRINGTON may be inefficient, but he can score points in a hurry and is a decent defender'JAN VESELY is still trying to figure out the NBA, though it's too early to give up on his athleticism . . . CHRIS SINGLETON can defend, but he's no more than a garbage-time player due to his atrocious offense. CENTERS: EMEKA OKAFOR may be absurdly overpaid, but he's settled in as a passable starter who helps defensively and doesn't hurt on offense. He'll also miss the beginning of the season with a herniated disc . . . With Okafor's deal expiring at the end of the year, KEVIN SERAPHIN is auditioning to be Washington's center of the future. After showing promise two seasons ago, he was a disaster last season. | | PHILADELPHIA: GUARDS: Welcome to Tankadelphia. MICHAEL CARTER-WILLIAMS will be handed the reigns at the point, and has the size and savvy to create some offense. But a work-in-progress jumper and too many risky passes will lead to plenty of lost possessions . . . The Sixers would love to unload perennially disappointing ex-No. 2 pick EVAN TURNER. He's yet to develop a jump shot, and while he'll start for a laughably thin Philly team, he looks more and more like a second-unit player . . . JAMES ANDERSON could end up playing a lot of minutes off the bench, simply because the Sixers don't have enough NBA-caliber players . . . JASON RICHARDSON will miss at least half the season after major knee surgery. He may never contribute in the NBA again'TONY WROTEN could see the floor plenty as a high-upside player who must cut down on his turnovers and improve his jump shot. FORWARDS: THADDEUS YOUNG will likely step up as the No. 1 option, and he very well may be the only player on this team that would make a rotation of a playoff contender. We'll see what he can do with defenses focused on stopping him . . . LAVOY ALLEN will be leaned on for heavy minutes as one of their few proven players . . . ARNETT MOULTRIE might end up with a very big role this year, as the Sixers are especially lacking post players. He at least rebounds and gets in people's way defensively . . . Philly will try its hand with ROYCE WHITE, who has plenty of talent but just as much baggage. He and the Rockets couldn't see eye-to-eye with how to manage his anxiety issues . . . TIM OHLBRECHT might actually see the court on this team. CENTERS: SPENCER HAWES should start at center, especially early. His mid-range shooting makes him one of the few offensive options on this team . . . Coming off a torn ACL, NERLENS NOEL probably won't be ready until December. He should contribute as a rim protector and rebounder, but will be pushed around and doesn't have much on offense . . . KWAME BROWN is waiting for his contract to be bought out. |

*Wizards-76ers Preview* =======================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Washington (0-3) at Philadelphia (3-1), 7:00 p.m. EDT
After a stunning start, Michael Carter-Williams and the Philadelphia 76ers came crashing back down to earth in their last game.
A matchup with the winless Washington Wizards could help them bounce back.
Philadelphia tries to continue its recent success against the visiting Wizards, who hope to avoid opening 0-4 for the third consecutive season Wednesday night.
While the 76ers (3-1) turned heads in beating Miami, Washington and Chicago to open the season, they were blown out 110-90 by Golden State on Monday. Philadelphia, which averaged 110.0 points on 51.2 percent shooting in its first three games, was limited to 35.2 percent from the field and fell behind by as many as 39.
"There's no beating around the bush, they beat the (heck) out of us," said center Spencer Hawes, who had five points and eight rebounds after averaging 19.3 and 11.3 during the 3-0 start.
"That's one of those games that, they happen. You try to limit three or four of those over the course of a season, and we got one out of the way early."
Carter-Williams and Evan Turner scored 18 points apiece and Tony Wroten added 14 off the bench.
Carter-Williams, though, shot 4 for 17, committed six turnovers and had four assists without a steal. He had been the reigning Eastern Conference player of the week after averaging 20.7 points, 9.0 assists, 4.3 steals and 2.3 turnovers.
"He wants to attack bigs, it's his nature. I like it, but it becomes an education where you're going in against 7-foot-2," first-year coach Brett Brown said. "He's going to have to get used to going at that size. It's just part of the process, it's part of his learning curve."
While his team was overmatched against the Warriors, Brown doesn't appear too concerned going forward.
"The peaks and valleys of the NBA are dangerous," he said. "You're never as good as you think you were and you're not as bad as you think you are.
"If we can just bang out great effort games and share the ball and play the right way - all those types of things - the results will come."
The 76ers now turn their attention back to the Wizards, whom they beat 109-102 on Friday behind Thaddeus Young's 29 points and Turner's 23.
Philadelphia has taken eight of 10 from Washington and five straight at home, but Brown isn't expecting anything to come easy Wednesday.
"They're going to want to make amends, we're going to have a much more difficult game," he said.
The Wizards, allowing an NBA-worst 51.2 opponent field-goal percentage, saw their woes continue in Sunday's 103-93 loss at Miami. Washington allowed the Heat to shoot 52.9 percent and committed 21 turnovers.
"I thought we battled well," guard Bradley Beal said. "We still had a few breakdowns on defense. ... We just have to knock down shots and limit our turnovers as much as possible."
Beal had 19 points while newcomer Marcin Gortat added 15 points and 11 rebounds. John Wall was held to 11 on 4-of-12 shooting but did have nine assists for Washington, which cut a 23-point deficit to seven in the final minute against the defending champions.
"This is how we've got to play," coach Randy Wittman said. "Nobody wants to lose but I thought we took a good step in the right direction."
The Wizards opened 0-8 in 2011-12 and a franchise-worst 0-12 last season. They could certainly use a boost from Nene, who may return after missing the last two games with a calf injury.
Washington has dropped 11 straight road games against Eastern Conference foes and 26 of 28 since the start of last season.
