12 Days Washington Wizards GM Ernie Grunfeld continued to put the heat on Jan Vesely to improve during the offseason. "He needs to do better, he needs to improve and he needs to find a way to get that confidence back," Grunfeld said. Grunfeld is the one who picked Vesely sixth overall, so he needs to look in the mirror as well. "He needs to be out on the court, he needs to be playing. That's a way to build up confidence and have success in game-time situations." Vesely won't get on the court if he can't improve his still incredibly raw game. Teammate A.J. Price confirmed Vesely struggles from confidence issues. | 1 Month Washington Wizards GM Ernie Grunfeld said it's a "big summer" for Jan Vesely, Trevor Booker, Kevin Seraphin and Chris Singleton. This is the same sentiment expressed by Randy Wittman right around when the season ended, so we're not surprised to hear it again. "They all need to improve, they all need to work hard." It wouldn't surprise us to see the Wizards put all four on the trade block during the offseason as the team reshapes its roster. | 1 Month Washington Wizards Randy Wittman said Jan Vesely "needs to work on his head first" before improving other elements of his game. Ouch. Vesely's second season was another lost year, and it's looking very much like the Wizards wasted the No. 6 overall pick in 2011. As a reminder, that's the same draft that saw Klay Thompson picked 11th, Kawhi Leonard 15th, Nikola Vucevic 16th, Iman Shumpert 17th, Tobias Harris 19th and Kenneth Faried at 22. It's safe to say the Wizards could have done better. | 2 Months Washington Wizards Randy Wittman said Jan Vesely is "going to continue to work" to improve his game. Vesely played 20 minutes on Sunday, the most he's played since January 14 in a blowout over the Magic. Despite Vesely racking up nine points, eight boards, a steal and a block on Sunday, he's going to have to do a lot more to see the rotation consistently, let alone come into any kind of fantasy value. | 2 Months Washington Wizards Jan Vesely is averaging 2.7 points and 2.4 rebounds this season and still can't crack the rotation. Vesely was the No. 6 pick in 2011 and the Wizards might just have to come to the realization that he's not a good basketball player. "He's got to be a guy that plays confidently," Randy Wittman said. We're not sure if Vesely is capable of doing that. Wittman is giving Vesely lip service to build his confidence, but he looks lost during games and incapable of ever living up to his draft stock. | 3 Months Washington Wizards Jan Vesely, who is not in the rotation, said that he's just trying to "stay ready." Vesely, the No. 6 overall pick in 2011, has been a total bust for the Wizards. "These days are important," Randy Wittman said. "You've got to show me, when you're going through these kind of things, you've got to show me that you're fighting." Vesely is not worth owning in any format. | 3 Months Washington Wizards Jan Vesely has played a total of 13 minutes since Jan. 26. When the Wizards finally got healthy, Vesely fell out of the rotation. It's an awful sign for a player that has shown no shred of offensive ability through two years in the NBA. The Wizards passed on the likely of Brandon Knight, Kemba Walker and Klay Thompson when they took Vesely sixth overall in 2011. | |
