Bmore_DCParticipantMichael Lee of the Washington Post blog reports:
After determining that he had yet to truly turn his potential into more than flirtations of production, Blatche has taken some steps toward getting better. He recently hired powerful agent Andy Miller after going without representation for all of what turned out to be a difficult season — even after he had secured a lucrative extension with the Wizards. And he also decided to separate himself from people who weren’t interested in his personal development.
Blatche has been more visible with his community projects this summer. He spent most of his offseason working out in Miami, with the hope that the results will be noticeable in the upcoming season.
“I’m 25 years old,” said Blatche, who celebrated his birthday last month with John Wall, Hamady Ndiaye, Josh Howard and Trevor Booker in South Beach. “I’ve been in the league six years now. I know my goal. I want to be an all-star. And to be an all-star, I have to make changes, and those are the changes that I have to make now.
“I took the time to cut back on some friends and some people, and built myself around better people that know what’s best for me,” he said. “I’m sorry that it took so long for me to realize it, but it’s all about growing and maturing and that’s basically what I’m doing.”

MJBrownParticipantThe kid’s got talent, no doubt about it. He’s gotta produce quality games every nite to become an all-star. If he can improve his consistency, he might be able to acheive his goal. I think 21/7 should be able to get him there. Is that doable for Blatche?

Bmore_DCParticipantTo me, its not really the stats – its what he needs to do to help his team win. Id rather have him average 14-5 and dive for loose balls, block shots, rebound, and play good defense than 21/7 with a bunch of turnovers and be the same hot-headed big man who thinks hes a guard. It seems like he has matured and its good to see him and John Wall chillin…hopefully Blatche and McGee are cool after that bar fight.

iguapops420ParticipantI’ve always been a fan of Blatche’s versatility, but I can only hear him say he’s matured so many times before I give up belief in it.
This is Blatche’s last chance, if he hasn’t gotten his ish together, it’s obvious that he’s simply in it for the stats and not the wins.

RUDEBOY_ParticipantI Think he’s much more talented and have more upside than JaVale McGee..But he’s so immature and inconsistent..1 game he looks like a young Kevin Garnett..The next game he’s plays with no passion and loses focus….
Either him or McGee should be traded..1 of them have to GO!!
They both make too many bone-headed plays that cause games and they shouldnt be on the court together at the end of close games…The Wizards seem eager to make McGee their 2nd most important player after John Wall…So Blatche might be the 1 to GO!!
