It all starts with 20-year old point guard John Wall. Wall has played in 15 games (13 starts) for the Wizards so far this season and he is averaging 38.1 minutes, 16.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 2.3 steals per game. He is one of the early frontrunners for the Rookie of the Year Award but the Wizards need him to get healthy and back on the court. 23-year old power forward Trevor Booker is likely going to start getting more P.T. He has played in 20 games (1 start) so far this year for the Wizards and he is averaging 13.2 minutes, 4.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. Booker is shooting 54.5% from the floor as he is taking good shots but he needs to improve on his 68.8% free throw shooting. 21-year old PF/C Kevin Seraphin needs to pick up the pace a bit. Seraphin has played in 9 games (1 start) for the Wizards so far this year and he is averaging 12.0 minutes, 2.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game. Seraphin is only shooting 30.3% from the floor and that just isn’t going to get his butt off the bench. 23-year old center Hamady Ndiaye has only played in 3 games (0 starts) so far this year and he is averaging 3.0 minutes per game and 0.7 points per game this year. If the Wizards continue losing, they need to start getting Trevor Booker & Kevin Seraphin more minutes.

20-year old point guard John Wall looks like the real deal for the Wizards right now. He has played in 8 games (all starts) for the Wizards this year and he is averaging 39.3 minutes, 18.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 9.8 assists and 3.3 steals per game. If the Wizards continue to lose like they are right now it would make sense to play the rest of the rookies so they can see what they have. 23-year old forward Trevor Booker has played in 5 games (0 starts) for the Wizards so far this year and he is averaging 6.4 minutes, 1.6 points, 1.0 rebound and 1.0 assist per game. Fellow rookie forward Kevin Seraphin has only played in 1 game working 2 minutes in which he has 2 points and 1 rebound. Booker & Seraphin were both first round picks so the Wizards have high hopes for them. 24-year old power forward Hamady Ndiaye has only gotten into one game for the Wizards so far this season working 4 scoreless minutes in which he had 2 fouls.

The Wizards were the third team that Cedric Jackson played for in his rookie season. Jackson played in 4 games (0 starts) for the Wizards in which he averaged 9.8 minutes, 3.0 points, 0.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. He played in 12 games (0 starts) overall this season for the Spurs, Wizards and Cavaliers in which he averaged 6.2 minutes, 1.7 points, 0.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. It remains to be seen as to whether the Wizards will keep Jackson around for next year or not.

Rookie center JaVale McGee is off to a good start for the Washington Wizards who really need him right now. McGee has played in 11 games for the Wizards so far this season and he is averaging 20.0 minutes, 9.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 0.3 assists and 1.0 block per game. The Wizards should continue to have a lot of minutes for McGee as long as he keeps playing well.

The Wizards have to be happy with the way the rookies played for them this season. Nick Young played solid basketball off the bench for the Wizards and he could be in line for a starting job next season if they don’t retain Gilbert Arenas. Young played in 75 games (2 starts) for the Wizards this season and he averaged 15.4 minutes, 7.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. He has a bright future for the Wizards.

Center Oleksiy Pecherov looked a little out of place in the NBA but he could improve with experience. He played in 35 games (0 starts) this season and he averaged 9.1 minutes, 3.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game. He didn’t shoot too well only hitting 35.2% of his shots from the floor. He likely won’t get more minutes until he improves his shooting.

G/F Dominic McGuire didn’t do much this season. He played in 70 games (1 start) for the Wizards this season and he averaged 9.9 minutes, 1.3 points, 0.9 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. His shooting was not good either as he only hit 37.9% of his shots from the floor and 43.8% of his free throws.
