Does anyone follow NBA?
Is there any chance for Aaron making the team as Wizard?

No, they drafted him because he agreed to be stashed in Europe. If he dominated the summer league, maybe that would have changed, but he's been very average there so far.

Pierce is a Clip a now......So does oubre get those minutes? Obviously, you will not get the production or the leadership from him. It seems like there is one roster spot at small forward behind Porter and Oubre. I doubt it if AW gets that last roster spot, but he can go into camp with some hope. Randy Whitman is an old school, Indiana guy, maybe he will see something in AW.

Jared Dudley will get most of Pierce's minutes. The Wizards drafted White because he agreed to go to Europe. They have no need for him this year, so if he doesn't go to Europe and insists on staying over here, the Wizards cut him, he becomes a free agent and ends up in the D-League trying to fight for the same 10 day contracts that all the other guys down there are working for. If he goes to Europe, the Wizards keep his rights and he's an asset for them, and now an NBA team has a vested interest in him improving and developing a consistent jump shot. He comes back for Summer League with the Wizards again next year, they get another look at him and the process repeats itself.

Yeah, he isn't exactly lighting up the summer league. So what happens? Go to camp, then off to Europe?

Unless your a 1st round pick your financially floating out there. Maybe they sign you to come to camp to try out and hope to get a D-League spot. Being a 2nd round pick you'd be crazy not to go overseas. The money is too good to pass up and most countries have tax free incentives. You can stash a bunch of money away before coming back. If he plays well overseas the NBA will be watching.
