As the free agent forwards fly off the market, it's looking more likely that the Wizards will enter next season with Dominic McGuire as the backup small forward.

LAS VEGAS, July 19 -- Guard Nick Young showed that he has potential to be a major scorer in the NBA when he came off the bench and scored 27 points during a Washington Wizards loss to the Lakers in his home town of Los Angeles back on March 30.

Young, who averaged 7.5 points in 15.5 minutes as a rookie, is hoping to provide more performances like that memorable one this season. With that in mind, Young came to the NBA summer league looking to show that he's ready to build on last season's experiences.

Flash back for a second to the summer of 2006. The Wizards, fresh off their tight playoff loss to Cleveland, were about to enter training camp with a gaping hole at shooting guard.

When the Washington Wizards open competition in the 2008 NBA Summer League on Monday in Las Vegas , the team will feature more than a couple of draft picks and a collection of team and NBA long shots.

After having his arrival delayed by complications in acquiring a work visa, Vladimir Veremeenko attended the Washington Wizards ' summer league minicamp at Verizon Center on Saturday.

The Washington Wizards 2008 Wizards Summer League Roster has been announced and there are some familiar and unfamiliar faces on the squad.

As mentioned in this FanPost , the salary cap and luxury tax figures became official last night.

For nearly his entire life, JaVale McGee has been referred to as 'Pamela McGee's son.'

After the Wizards selected the 7-foot, 237-pound McGee with the 18th pick in the NBA draft on Thursday night, a proud Pamela McGee -- an all-American basketball player at USC in the early 1980s who played two seasons in the WNBA -- was more than happy to reverse roles.

'I told him that now I'm JaVale McGee's mother and that's fine with me,' Pamela McGee said after her son was introduced during a news conference at Verizon Center yesterday afternoon. 'I always used to tell him: 'I gave you life so you're known as Pam McGee's son.' And he would say: 'No mom, you don't play anymore.' But now, I'll be JaVale McGee's mom. It's politically correct to say that now.'

The Washington Wizards used their first-round pick in Thursday night's NBA draft to bolster their front line, taking Nevada center JaVale McGee 18th.

Depending on how the first round of tomorrow night's NBA draft unfolds, the Washington Wizards might select a player with the 18th overall pick, trade the pick in a package involving players already on their roster, or get out of the first round completely by dealing the selection for a future draft pick.

When asked what his plans were for the evening, Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld grinned.

'Good question,' Grunfeld said yesterday during a news conference at Verizon Center. 'We're trying to figure that out right now.'

“Get our bench some minutes and then hope that nobody gets hurt.”

With nothing at stake for Washington or Orlando, veteran guard Antonio Daniels believes the Wizards should have only one goal in tonight's regular season finale: Get out of the game healthy.

'The biggest thing at this time of the year when you know what's going on is to stay healthy and not have any injuries in that last game of the season,' said Daniels, who has been playing with a torn ligament in his left wrist that will require surgery after the season. 'That's the biggest concern. You want to go into Cleveland as healthy as possible with all of the firepower we have. We want to get Gilbert [Arenas] healthy, get Caron [Butler] healthy and then we'll have those couple of days before Game 1 to get our chemistry together and get ready to go. It's the best time of the year.' Read more
