You know what 26-27 roster is missing? DP.
-
Maybe DP goes #1?

Projected at no 2 by a recent Atlantic column.

I don't see it with Boozer, he's neither freakishly athletic, nor ridiculously skilled, nor incredibly clutch. The other 3 guys all can lay claim in one of those areas I think? But maybe I just hate Duke.
-
What Boozer was incredible at was getting to the foul line. Of course most of that was just the fact that he played for Duke.

I'd take Wilson before Boozer

I didn't watch AJ much but DP definitely looked better from what I saw when he actually played. AJ does perhaps fit the Wizards positional need a little more though and doesn't have the health concerns, so seems pretty likely that AJ goes #1.
Boozer doesn't have a top end talent but he is pretty close to a lock at being a starter level NBA player at worst. If you aren't star chasing and looking to contend in the next few years, he is a good pick.

I saw an article pointing out Darryn's low 2.2 assists per game as a big negative for NBA purposes. But, we know that's not all on him because all the KU players just stood around when DP had the ball and I don't think I saw any type of offensive sets run while DP had the ball.
-
That is somewhat true but 2.2 apg is still terrible for someone who was double-teamed as often as DP

True... but DP could have hit them a few times while they were opened and encouraged them to try to get open. Everyone was at fault.
It points to poor communication. Even though DP was out for many games, it's hard to believe we had this many games and the guys couldn't communicate and click better.
I point the finger at Self. He overhyped DP. It made the other guys feel inferior. And DP is a cool kid that wasn't about ego. There should have been better connection!
