Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 2119543, member: 40"] Very important points you raise about HW. People probably should temper their expectations for Washington, especially initially. This is a backup caliber prospect, who shouldn't be expected to start / contribute at a high level early [except for providing backcourt depth]. Anyone expecting him to come in and seize the reins is setting themselves up for disappointment. He has some upside, and might prove to be better than that down the road [a la unheralded recruits like Rautins, Triche, etc.]. But at least initially, this is a long game type of recruit who is probably being brought in to remediate a couple of roster issues that have plagued us in recent years--namely, poor backcourt depth and lack of backup point guard. If this guy ends up just being a bench contributor who provides steady play throughout his career, IMO that would still make him a valuable add. [/QUOTE]
