Wizards Choose Sooner Over Later

Mike Miller and Randy Foye, the newest members of the Washington Wizards, made their debut yesterday in the bowels of Verizon Center, squeezed between the excitement of two blockbuster trades in the Eastern Conference made earlier in the day and under the shadow of the NBA draft. Their arrival may have gone unnoticed outside the District, but the Wizards hope that Miller and Foye will help make the team a topic of discussion in April, May and possibly June.

The Wizards traded out of the first round, sending the No. 5 overall pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves, as part of a package that yielded two veteran players -- Miller in his prime, and Foye on the rise -- that can help a team built to win now.
