|
| |  | 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. | | TORONTO: GUARDS: KYLE LOWRY was banged up last season, but he enters this year healthy and has the potential to be one of the league's best two-way point guards . . . DEMAR DEROZAN does a nice job attacking, but he's a flawed player unless he develops a jump shot . . . The Raptors want TERRENCE ROSS to attack the basket more often. But whether he develops a three-point shot could determine where he fits into this rotation . . . After a disastrous season in Indiana, D.J. AUGUSTIN will have to earn his rotation spot. Toronto could use his shooting, though . . . DWIGHT BUYCKS comes back from Europe to back up Lowry . . . Versatile JULYAN STONE is an interesting bit piece, as he reunites with GM Masai Ujiri, who brought him to Denver. FORWARDS: Despite all that talent, RUDY GAY's poor shot selection and disinterested defense will have him on the trading block . . . AMIR JOHNSON will get another chance at full-time minutes. Despite some inconsistency, he still has the upside to be a good rebounder and shot-blocker . . . TYLER HANSBROUGH brings toughness and a decent mid-range jumper. He's a second-unit talent, but could challenge Johnson for minutes . . . LANDRY FIELDS is a well-compensated reserve . . . STEVE NOVAK gives them a legitimate shooter among the second unit . . . Toronto will try to shake some of that upside out of AUSTIN DAYE . . . QUINCY ACY will move to the three, likely making this a redshirt year. CENTERS: JONAS VALANCIUNAS is set to become Toronto's new centerpiece. Talented enough for them to run the offense through him, he's rapidly improving on both ends of the court . . . AARON GRAY will stick around as a decent back-up, a 7-footer who can get in the way defensively. |

*Wizards-Raptors Preview* =========================
By TOM CASTRO STATS Senior Editor
Washington (4-7) at Toronto (5-7), 7:00 p.m. EDT
Though the Toronto Raptors don't have an impressive record, a solid road win their last time out put them in first place in the Atlantic Division.
They'll look to climb a step closer to the .500 mark Friday night when they host the Washington Wizards, who are in last place despite a similar record to Toronto and are seeking a third straight victory.
The Raptors (5-7) are benefiting from a down season so far in the Atlantic, but given their history, they aren't complaining. Toronto, which won its only division title in 2006-07, defeated Philadelphia 108-98 on Wednesday to go a half-game up on the Sixers for the top spot.
"It's a great accomplishment to be in that position," guard Kyle Lowry said. "But we still have to keep it up. We have to take all the good from it, learn from it and grow."
DeMar DeRozan had 33 points and reserve guard Terrence Ross scored a season-high 17 - more than 10 above his average - and grabbed seven rebounds for the Raptors.
Toronto avoided a third straight loss, recording season highs of nine blocked shots and 14 3-pointers in the process.
"We're nowhere near where we need to be," coach Dwane Casey said. "We'll take it, but it's early. We've got to continue to work and stay hungry."
Casey's team will now try to avoid a third consecutive defeat at Air Canada Centre, where it is 2-3 going into a four-game homestand. Toronto has been better on the road recently, winning its last two such games and scoring at least 103 points in each of the previous three.
DeRozan has had no trouble scoring wherever he's played in the past three contests, averaging 33.0 points while going 8 of 16 from 3-point range. He averaged 22.3 points against Washington last season as the teams split the four-game series.
The Wizards (4-7) share the Southeast Division basement with Orlando but also have shown signs of improvement in the early going, taking two straight after a four-game slide. Bradley Beal scored 26 points and Nene added 24 as visiting Washington defeated Cleveland 98-91 on Wednesday after nearly blowing a 27-point third-quarter lead.
"It was rocky, but you can expect things like that in any NBA game," Beal said. "We played well for 40 minutes, but we went away from our principles after that. ... Fortunately, we pulled it back together before the end."
The consecutive victories came on back-to-back nights.
"That's how you get in position to make the playoffs," coach Randy Wittman said. "You're tired, you get (into town) late, but you make that effort to win the game from the start."
Beal and Nene have powered Washington offensively in the past three games, averaging 26.3 and 22.7 points, respectively. Beal is 12 for 19 from 3-point range in that span and scoring a team-best 21.2 per game for the season while Nene is at 15.8.
John Wall has shot poorly this season at 35.9 percent, but he's totaled 37 assists in the past three games and is averaging a career-high 9.7.
The Wizards have lost six of seven at Toronto.
