Wizards Miss On Dejuan Blair, Local Sports Tweets Prove Unforgiving

There he was, Jahidi White 2.0 waiting for the Washington Wizards to snatch him up with the 32nd pick of the 2009 NBA Draft. To an extent, it was surprising that he had dropped that far; but the pick was there for the taking by the Wizards. At this point, I’ll let the tale of the Tweets tell the remainder of the story, as authored by esteemed local sports bloggers and writers.   @BurberryNHoop Maybe w/him falling so low, maybe the Washington Mystics will have the opp to draft Blair instead…. @Unsilent Dear Ernie, B-L-A-I-R. Love, Everyone @jamiemottram Jeff Van Gundy’s “team assessment” is that the Wizards “need a shooting guard”. ESPN scroll analysis FAIL. Then, the pick came in: Jermaine Taylor from the University of Central Florida. A shooting guard. My response? @jarrett_carter Great. The Wizards pick the FORMER middleweight champ of the world.   And then, other reactions.   @dcsportsbog Hmmmm. ... (link)
