Well, I was a little dissappointed that Cris didn't stay another year but being picked 8th is tremendous for the kid. Lonnie, at 44th pick, is about what I expected as he sometimes leaves his A game at home. He'll be okay in the NBA but probably not much more than a role player, which is all he really was at Maryland.

But as for Juan? He is something special and being drafted by the Bullets is just great for the area and the team. He'll have to play the point but I think his ball handling skills are at a level where he can make the transition.

BTW, I'm reserving the new name for after the Bullets win one playoff game, something they have not done since the name change. Until then, they are still the Bullets...
