"Just got to add some pieces," Wall said. "A lot, to be honest. There's a lot that we can use ... I think it's pretty obvious. I don't need to point it out. I think the way the league is going, you need athletic bigs, you need scoring off the bench, you need all of those types of things. We don't really have an athletic big. I mean, Ian [Mahinmi] is older. [Marcin Gortat] is older. They're not athletic guys, but they do the little things that permit their game to help as much as possible."

Though Gortat has been a serviceable big, the 34-year-old doesn't quite fit the billing of an "athletic big" as Wall described, nor does Mahinmi, who hasn't lived up to what Washington expected of him when it signed him. So an influx of talent in the frontcourt, particularly at center or power forward, is well overdue for the Wizards.
