DC Sports Clowns

Playoffs!?!? That's right clowns, the postseason is upon us and for the first time in too long we've got a team on the hardwood AND a team on the ice to cheer for. In fact, it's been 20 years since the Bullets/Wiz, Caps and Skins all made the playoffs in the same season. So enjoy it! Also, word on the street is the Nats have a snazzy new stadium. Springtime in the District is glorious, is it not?

After another early exit courtesy of LeBron, the Wizards find themselves in the offseason with numerous questions. But the biggest is, what happens with free agent Antawn Jamison and if/when Gilbert opts out of his contract?

=> Without giving my fellow clowns too much insight into my drafting strategy, my preparation for the upcoming draft usually leans heavily toward the best available player on the board when my turn comes around. A draft is always about getting a firm foundation for the rest of the year and usually has more impact by stacking the deck in your favor than relying on top-notch position players whose potential injury causes havoc on your team’s position.

For example, reaching on a second tier shortstop (Rafael Furcal) or catcher (Brian McCann) in an early round for the simple advantage of starting with a better option seriously hurts a team's long term success. When/If that individual gets hurt, a team is now left with a mediocre outfielder (Jason Bay) and a really bad replacement middle infielder (Jason Bartlett).
