    The guy has been sensational since they traded Jamison. And the Wizards are winning!

    Since the All Star break, he has had the following games:

    33 pts (14-22 FGs), 13 rebs, 1 asst, 2 steals, 1 blk, WIN vs Minnesota

    18 pts (8-13 FGs in 28 minutes), 11 rebs, 3 assts, 1 steal, WIN vs Denver

    24 pts (11-21 FGs), 6 rebs, 3 assists, 1 steal, 2 blks, loss to Toronto
    ,
    25 pts (8-13 FGs), 11 rebs, 2 assts, 2 steals, 2 blks, WIN over Chicago

    24 pts (10-19 FGs), 8 rebs, 5 assts, 1 steal, loss to Memphis

    26 pts (11-21 FGs), 18 rebs, 6 assts, 1 steal, 3 blks loss to New York

    36 pts (17-21 FGs), 15 rebs, 4 assts, 2 steals, 2 blks WIN over New Jersey

    If he keeps that up, he's a lock for the All Star game and All-NBA honors next season. Crazy. I wish Aldridge was putting up numbers like that.

    I've followed this kid since the Wizards drafted him. A few seasons ago, I wanted the Lakers to make a push for him. He is super talented, he just needs to grow into his potential and get accustomed to the league with consistent play. I hope he can continue to pan out for them, because he is severely talented.

    Um.. catch up. They're 4-3 including a win against Denver. Blatche is for real and he's only 23 years old! He has improved every single season and now he's finally being given the chance to shine. Add Arenas, a good draft pick, and a solid free agent signing and they'll be a tough team next season. I'd be excited to be a Wizards fan.

    For those without a calculator. he's averaging 27/12/1.5 in those seven games. Can you imagine how people would flip out if Oden did that over 3 games?

    Well, I don't know why everything is Oden related to you, but Blatche is definitely a nice prospect. I don't think you should bring Oden into it.

    Not "everything", but you shouldn't be confused. Greg Oden is a Trail Blazer. I'm a Trail Blazer fan. And this is a Trail Blazers message board. Still confused?

    7 games this season....good games, don't get me wrong...led to this:

    No offense, but how does 7 games this season equate to all-star consideration next season. Even if he gets all-star consideration next season, that will be based off of NEXT season's performance, not 7 games THIS season. Only consideration he'll be getting this season is "Most Improved Player on a Bad Team Since Major Trade Sending Other More Capable Scorers Away" Award.

    If Eric were a GM, his starting lineup would include:

    Steve Blake
    Travis Outlaw
    Yi Jianlian
    Andray Blatche

    Can anyone think of a shooting guard that Eric has a mancrush on?

    Despite the stupidity of about 1/2 of this, I actually agree that Blatche's improved play lately is pretty damn impressive and he could very well be an all-star in the next few years if the Wiz rebuild in a hurry. I couldn't disagree more about your rebuild plan including Arenas though, they need to go full steam ahead to try and void that contract because if they could they could have more capspace than NYK. A top 3 pick + Blatche's 20/10ish play and more money than anywhere else and they should be able to secure some nice players this offseason, maybe through signings, maybe through lopsided trades. But if they hold onto Arenas' contract they're soon to be in cap hell for a felon who's best basketball is 2-3 knee surgeries ago.

    I said he'd make the All Star game IF he kept it up. How do you not agree with that? If he averages 27/12 next season and the Wiz win more than half their games, he'll make it, right? That's what I was saying.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I predict Blatche will play well enough to be declared a retroactive 2010 All-Star.

    The fact that KingSpeed doesn't even give Blatche a chance at earning a retroactive 2010 All-Star nod makes me wonder why KingSpeed is such a hater.
