Now That Kwame Brown Has Left Town...

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Andray Blatche, drafted by the Washington Wizards in June, was shot Sunday morning in Virginia during an apparent robbery.

What people are saying about Blatche:

"You can't help but love a guy with his size and mobility who can dribble, pass and score with his gliding athleticism." -Rivals.com analyst Jerry Meyer.

"At almost seven feet tall, Blatche has all the physical tools to make it big in the NBA one day, it just won’t be anytime soon... Will be a project for whichever team decides to select him."--NBADraft.net.

"Weaknesses: Too thin… disappears from games… could be more dominant on the glass and defensive end"--Collegehoops.net.

"Obviously, he's going to need a lot of development," [Coach Eddie] Jordan said. "I want to see how he looks. I want him to play in our summer league."--Washington Post, June 29, 2005.
