I truly do realize everything Howard has gone through and why people want the best for him...but, settling the team down? All he does is bring the the ball down the court, dribble between his legs 25 feet from the hoop and pass the ball around the peremeter. He's unathletic, can't penetrate and isn't a good
shooter. Unless it's a blowout, he shouldn't be playing. Unfortunately, with an aging coach and assistants who can't recruit with the upper echelon of college basketball, we won't have capable players who can come off the bench to provide a spark.
Whenever I see people making comments like this, it never acknowledges his defense. You all only see offense, but there are two ends of the court. And he's the best defender we have of the guards we have.I truly do realize everything Howard has gone through and why people want the best for him...but, settling the team down?

It's not a coincidence that they blew the game open right when he subbed in in the first half. Kid's effective on offense without taking a shot.

It's not just cruel it's inaccurate. He doesn't just dribble between his legs 25 feet from the hoop. He is good at getting to the free throw line while maintaining his dribble and getting the ball to people for good looks, he set a screen for buddy to get a wide open 3 and has really good vision in general. He is also our best guard defending by a good margin.I know I've said this before, but Howard is also a very likable human being who is well-liked by his team mates -- all of whom are rooting for him. Imagine having a stroke at age 20 --- and willing yourself to come back and play high-major D-1 basketball. And to play it extremely well.
I don't get it when someone is so gratuitously anti-Howard Washington. Are you also cruel to small animals?
I agree Washington isn't a great shooter but everything else you said about his game is not trueI truly do realize everything Howard has gone through and why people want the best for him...but, settling the team down?

I mean, yes we hoped Carey could run the PG position and play great defense. But before the season we also thought he’d be able to drive into the lane and score or dish and hit the mid range jumper. The hope was that he could score 8-10 ppg. Of course it’s not really fair to evaluate him. We don’t know what he might have turned into since he’s been injured since like the second or third game of the season.Runs the team and plays defense. He is what we hoped Carey would be. JB was very complimentary of his play tonight. I bet he sees more minutes.
Not trying to take a shot at Carey just trying to point out that you don't have to shoot to be an effective PG, especially when there are shooters on the floor to set up.I mean, yes we hoped Carey could run the PG position and play great defense.

Plus being 4-6 inches taller than Joe really helpsHe is a game manager and controls the tempo. He doesn't have to shoot it much to be effective.
The team had a sense of organization with him on the court. He also has very good court sense and even when he makes a mistake he usually makes up for it with a better play. He actually is a more consistent rebounder for a guard despite his slender frame. He is a nice change of pace for Joe who was a little shaky early on.
