In fine Wizards fashion, the story today wasn’t the story we thought it would be.
Of course, Greivis Vasquez making his second appearance on the Verizon Center practice court – since he went through NBA predraft workouts last year – was a pretty big deal. He’s coming off a storied career at Maryland and two years before that in high school at Montrose Christian, and capturing the nod of ACC player of the year isn’t too shabby for the resume, eh? Can he make a leap all the way into the first round of the draft? It doesn’t seem likely, but he’s going to end up with some team, and he’s well aware of guys like Wesley Mathews, who ended up as a starter in the playoffs for Utah this season despite going undrafted. That kind of scenario makes it very likely that Vasquez will become the third Venezuelan to play in the NBA when next season starts.
