The Wizards couldn’t keep up with the Bulls last night. John Wall (20 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals), Nick Young (17 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocked shots) and JaVale McGee (16 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 3 blocked shots) led the way for the Wizards last night. Trevor Booker also had a very solid game off the bench with 14 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocked shots in 26 minutes on the floor. Jordan Crawford only shot 5 of 16 from the floor but he still finished up with 10 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. The Wizards are now 4-17 on the year.

The Wizards are going to be without starting power forward Andray Blatche for the next 3-5 weeks due to a left calf strain. Blatche has played in 17 games (13 starts) for the Wizards so far this year and he is averaging 28.5 minutes, 10.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game. 21-year old rookie Jan Vesely and 24-year old Trevor Booker are going to split time until Blatche is ready to return to action. Vesely has played in 13 games (2 starts) for the Wizards so far this year and he is averaging 14.8 minutes, 2.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. Booker has played in 20 games (5 starts) for the Wizards so far this year and he is averaging 17.6 minutes, 5.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 1.0 steal per game. Booker is shooting 55.3% from the floor so far this year. The Wizards are hoping that Vesely and Booker can hold the fort until Blatche is ready to return to action.

21-year old point guard John Wall in the best player on the Wizards but he lacks when it comes to shot selection as he is only hitting 39.4% of his shots from the floor this year. Wall has played in 20 games (all starts) for the Wizards this year and he is averaging 36.7 minutes, 15.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocked shots per game. Wall has now played in 89 games (84 starts) in his first two years with the Wizards and he is averaging 37.5 minutes, 16.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game. The Wizards would be a better team if Wall passed more and only took good shots.

The Wizards shot 52.6% from the floor and it helped them get a nice road win over the Bobcats. JaVale McGee led the way for the Wizards last night with 22 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 5 blocked shots. Nick Young (21 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal), Trevor Booker (16 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot in 19 minutes) and John Wall (13 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocked shots) also pitched in for the Wizards in this game. Jordan Crawford (12 points, 1 rebound, 7 assists and 1 steal) and Rashard Lewis (10 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 1 blocked shot) also pitched in for the Wizards. The Wizards are now 4-16 on the year.

The Wizards shot only 36.4% from the floor last night and they were outscored 59-35 in the second half, so the scoreboard should come as no surprise. John Wall led the way for the Wizards in this game with 17 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. Nick Young only shot 6 of 17 in this game as he finished up with 15 points, 1 assist and 2 steals. JaVale McGee pitched in with 9 points, 11 rebounds, 1 steal and 4 blocked shots in this game. The Wizards are now 3-16 on the year.
