Washington Wizards Trade 5th Pick, Land Randy Foye and Mike Miller

It has just been reported by The Washington Post that the Washington Wizards have dealt the 5th overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft to the Minnesota Timberwolves.  The package includes Etan Thomas, Oleksiy Pecherov, and Darius Songaila.  In return the Wizards receive promising 6'4" guard Randy Foye and former Rookie of the Year Mike Miller.  In a much anticipated move, Washington landed Foye who averaged 16.3 points and 4.3 assists per game last season.  A good amount of production, certainly more than you would expect out of a rookie if they drafted one.  Mike Miller gives them the outside threat and a career average of 13.9 points per game.  He provides depth at the small forward and shooting guard positions, allowing Dominic McGuire to focus on his role as a defensive stopper.  Marinate on that Wizards fans.
