Who is technically Otto's replacement player? Oubre has been playing well but I'm sure he's not considered Otto's replacement (although he would be due to injury). That said, I love that Otto is doing well and he is on the path to at least one all-star game. Knowing his work ethic, he can easily achieve more. Let alone his achievements on the court, he's a great Hoya and representative of the DC community (although I hear he lives in NoVA now ).

Jeff Green with a good first half so far against the Pacers. 11 pts on 4/5, 1/2 3Fg, 2/2 FT & 2 Rebounds.
Also so had a thunderous 2 hand baseline dunk over one the Pacer Bigs.

Otto and his play has been pretty crucial for wiz so far. looking at losses: Phoenix : Otto has flu Warriors: Otto got poked in eye and hit in groin, misses three straight free throws, comes out of game, warriors go on mini-run during period to pull even get confidence back and win game Lakers: Otto put himself in foul trouble and fouled out, wiz offense went to crap against Lakers team down stretch without him At least that’s my homer view

I am not 100% certain that NBA stats are the same, but in MLB the "replacement player" in VORP calculations is supposed to be a generic player who would be readily available at minimum salary, the classic AAAA player, and not based on the actual available replacements on that particular team. How that fictional player is then "valued" for the purpose of this particular stat is opaque to me. For me, comparisons to league average are a lot easier to understand - replacement players are below average by definition.

Porter-less Wizards lose its first home game 122-116 getting outscored by 18 in the second half. There's a very good chance TJ Warren doesn't go for 40 and 10 with Otto in there. Still, a bad loss to a team with only a passing acquaintance with defense.

Still, a bad loss to a team with only a passing acquaintance with defense. Yup, and the Wiz seem to play up or down to its competition. See e.g. the West Coast swing where it loss to the lowly Lakers yet were a few FTs away from beating Golden State.

Jeff continues to have better +/- marks than L. James. Tonight +5 vs -12. Foul trouble held Jeff Green from having a bigger night than the 15 pts he finished with. It's only a matter of time before Green is starting. Crowder has been lost on both sides of the ball so far this season. JR Smith and Tristan Thompson has given the Cavs absolotely nothing so far. Cavs are better off right now with Thompson hurt. It's hard to play 5 on 4 and compete and that's what they were doing with Thompson on the court. I think they need to move JG and Korver into the starting lineup and move Love back to the 5 to get off to better starts offensively and space the floor better.

LJ (#2 jersey) debuts last night, starting at small forward for the Red Claws in a win over the Delaware 87ers(?). Played 32 mins, 10 pts. (2-5 from 3), 3 boards, 1 steal, 2 turnovers. +10. Red Claws look strong on the perimeter, with Andrew White (Cuse) dropping in 37. Emeka Okafor sighting for the 87ers.

Hoyas Jeff and Otto again had positive +/- marks. Jeff with a +16 (L. James -4), and Otto one better than Jeff with a +17, most on the Wiz last night.
