I think we are going to see some alley-oops

I wish I a little taller, you know, so I could dunk. Like actually dunk. None of this barely grabbing the front of the rim and dropping the ball in nonsense.

It's a good thing for the Wizards and John Wall that there are people who can actually dunk a basketball. One of these people, and someone on who is extremely good at dunking, is JaVale McGee.

From watching the first two Summer League games, it's pretty obvious that the Wizards plan to run this season. This should be good news for people who like dunking.

Last season McGee was the "Wizard Most Likely to End Up on Sports Center for a Reason Related to a Basketball Game." And it was because he is good at dunking. McGee was able to do this even though he had guys like Earl Boykins and Randy Foye, who weren't so great at passing, setting him up for the dunks.

Well, Randy and Earl are gone, to be replaced by Wall. I know Summer League consists of a series of glorified pickup games, but Wall and McGee look like they have the "Run N Dunk" offense down.

And since I can't dunk, I will settle for tuning in for the rest of the Summer League games to live vicariously through the Wizards.
