it’s called being facetious… I still call them the Bullets too.

iwatchthenba,

How about Gilbert Arenas shoots a similar percentage as Hayes does. Hayes isn’t going to take Prince’s spot, but he is a solid backup. He’s better than Delfino, and he’s not afraid to take a shot.

The advantage of Hayes is that he has something to prove. Washington has been a horrible team run by a horrible front office for years, it’s not a surprise that their former players have succeeded away from the walls of the MCI Center.

iwatchthenba, I know terrible shooting and it doesn’t look like Jarvis Hayes. You should see me shoot. I’m lucky to hit 10 percent from behind the arc, and my midrange game isn’t much better. If you want to see terrible shooting, come out to my nearby park and watch the 10 year old kids play. They miss more than Helen Keller playing darts. Jarvis Hayes, though, he’s a good enough shooter to make it in the NBA, which probably puts him in the top 500 or so shooters in the world. I’d say that’s pretty good, even if he’s a bit streaky at times.

Let’s see what better health, an unselfish team, a good system, and some faith from teammates, fans, and the front office do for his shooting. I’m willing to bet that by the end of this season he’s got a whole new reputation. Just a hunch.

My perspective on this is pretty interesting. I’m a die-hard Pistons fan living in DC. All I’ve been hearing from Detroit is good words and the idea that we’ve improved ourselves at backup SF.

All I’ve been hearing IN DC is how happy they are to be rid of Hayes. It’s as if contempt from Agent Zero brandished a scarlet letter on his jersey.

I think the positive effect of the DC-Detroit transfer is more valid than the ‘Madden curse’ at this point.

Langlois is hilarious… Despite him though it was an interesting interview…

The Wizards never called a play for Jarvis in times of need because he was a terrible shooter and still is. I would have picked Arenas, Jamison or Butler to take the shot, that way, the Wizards have a chance to win, as opposed to letting Hayes rim it out.

Nah, you panned Hayes because you have an irrational man-crush on Delfino, who NEVER performed up to potential.
