| Since Gilbert Arenas returned from his knee injury April 2, the trio of Arenas, Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison has only played three games together. Is that enough to build chemistry for the playoffs? |

| Antawn Jamison hopes to play Wednesday, meaning the team finally has all its major components in the lineup -- again. Caron Butler could be right: This team might sneak up on its first playoff opponent. |

| Adding Etan Thomas' fresh legs into the mix will help rejuvenate the frontcourt, relieving Brendan Haywood from his heavy workload and allowing Eddie Jordan to make better use of Darius Songaila and Andray Blatche, based on individual matchups. When you add All-Stars Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison to the equation, the Wizards look stronger up front than anyone in the East. |

| Andray Blatche looks to have a little Brendan Haywood in him, in that he seems to respond better when he knows he'll be on the floor for lengthy periods. The 21-year-old has made great strides and creates matchup problems with his ability to put the ball on the floor, but the next stage in his development is learning how to contribute consistently, regardless of how much playing time he's in line for. |
