The Wizards players and coaches are spending extra time coaching Kevin Seraphin. "We're trying to help him on defense," said Nene Hilaro. "The assistant coaches talk to him, Al [Harrington], myself, and the other guys. We give him advice on defense." Coach Randy Wittman said that Seraphin has been hungry and is going after boards a lot in camp. Seraphin was abused on both ends at times last year, but he'll have extra opportunity with Emeka Okafor (neck) out indefinitely. He's worth a late-round pick in drafts.
