I have watched almost every game he has played this year for the Wizards. He played so well in the preseason but he has not played well in the regular season. He has scored a few points but he has been a step slow all year on defense. He also had a few costly TO's, not a ton, but just at the wrong time. His plus minus has been negative in each game he has played. I love AN and really want him to play well but if I take off my Bona jersey I can see why he has not played that much. I hope he can turn it around.

tough to read. Really pulling for the guy but can't see how he'd be able to turn it around given lack of PT.

13 minutes in win against Clippers. 3 pts. At this point any box score showing double digit minutes is a positive. Then praying he gets out of this rutt soon and contributes more.

6 pts, 2 rebs in 7 mins in loss to Ind. 2-2 3pt shots..I'll take it over a DNP or a row of goose eggs. Keep grinding AN.

AN got a couple of shout outs on the Zach Lowe podcast this week but mostly for his contract, although it was mentioned that he doesn't play enough.

Here's the only way it can work - play AN five games in a row , 24 minutes each game. Take the good and the bad, guarantee you that after the fifth game he is acclimated and plus in every game, averaging 14-16 each game or more - the man needs time to work off the rust and get comfortable- talent is being wasted. Coaches are too afraid for their jobs to help players get comfortable- a shame.

Gets on the court and does his work early. Gets in the weight room, gets his weights in. He just has to be ready. I will call on him and if he’s not ready, [then] he’s not going to perform well, but he has not given me any indication that he has given into the situation. You can only play so many guys and right now [Nicholson’s] out of the rotation but not out forever,” Brooks continued. “He just has to continue work, train and prepare and be ready. The five minutes he had the other night, the three fouls — it’s not good but I don’t think overall it was as bad as it looked. He has to be ready. The league is going pretty small and they play small against us so I have to manage that.”

10 mins tonight. 4 pts. Not a stat to write home about, but noteworthy considering last month or so.

He just has to be ready when his number is called. Sounds like the coach notices his hard work so that is a good thing.

AN didn't get any playing time against the Knicks last night but it is ALWAYS a great outcome when a team with a Bonas' star defeats a team with a Syracuse stud (Carmelo Anthony)....Nice win by the Wizards! (Even though Asst. Coach Sidney Lowe is being accused of calling out to simulate a Knick teammate to last second shooter by Knicks who was trying to tie the score with a three when time was winding down. I wonder if something will come out of that...)

10 games without seeing court time - claims that the NBA has gone small is hogwash by Brooks. What to do???
