Juan Dixon, who signed a 1-year partially guaranteed contract for $1.03 million [the minimum for an NBA player with 7 years experience] is now being introduced in a press conference as the newest Washington Wizard. Welcome back to the District and the fold, Juan!
UDPATE: Juan will wear #12 jersey, his number in high school in Baltimore. [He wore #3 during his first stint with the team.]
- Is happy to be back and says he “didn’t realize how good I had it here.”
- Says he’s looking forward to playing for Eddie Jordan again;
- Says he can play minutes with Deshawn Stevenson or Nick Young in the 2-guard offense;
- Eddie Jordan said Etan Thomas will help provide depth as the #2 center;
- Indicated that Brendan Haywood is firmly entrenched as the team’s starter and praised Haywood’s intelligence, defense, and the work he has put in to improve his overall game;
- Eddie doesn’t see much of a role for rookie C Javale McGee this year. Good.
Also, watch out for Second Chance Season, a program about Nick Young to air on ESPN2 at 12.30 AM Friday morning. Uh, maybe Tivo it.
