Two year deal with the second-year a player option. It has been cool to see Temple carve out a place in the league in DC after the two year run where he was on five different teams.

Wizards fan appear pleased based on the comments. Also, check out the video about how Temple (wearing an LSU shirt) and Otto Porter are doppelgängers. They do look a lot alike.

Not many would've guessed he'd be in the league and Tyrus would be back in BR. He does fit the defender and pros pro role perfectly.

Watching him play in high school, I had questions about his potential in college, much less did I expect him to have the solid NBA career that he's put together. But he's improved every year since I can remember and has wound up in a nice spot. Dude has clearly busted his arse the last decade or so.

Yep its an indcation of the knowledge of fans. Remember when some fans were saying that Garrett was only given a scholarship to appease his Dad. Big Babby was too fat to contribute in the SEC.
That JR would be All Pro within three years.
Flynn would never be drafted nor make an NFL roster.

I always thought that if he had a jump shot he was an NBA player. Dude had every other tool. Glad to see he made it and made it this far.

Half the game is played on the defensive end of the court. I think we all tend to judge basketball players by their offensive prowess but you can carve a niche even at the highest level if you excel on the defensive end.

Garret could always finish well on fast breaks too and was a decent ball handler.

As a Tigers fan, I'm proud of his accomplishment so far. Hope he'll have more contributions to his team this year. Geaux Garrett!!!
