Terrapins still need to sort out their roles
Easy win against Florida Southern provides few answers
BY LIZ CLARKE There was no shortage of
questions as theMaryland Ter- rapins launched into prepara- tions for their 2010-11 cam- paign, having lost their three top scorers from last season’s NCAAtournament team. Who would fill the scoring
gap left by Greivis Vasquez, Landon Milbourne and Eric Hayes? Who would emerge as the
team’s leader? Andwhich of the half-dozen
newcomerswouldimpress? Monday’s 106-58 romp over
Florida Southern hardly an- swered all those questions.But the lopsided exhibition result surely demonstrated that there’s no shortage of talent, speed or athleticism on the Terps’ retooledroster. Now,withMaryland’sNov. 8
season opener against Seattle looming, Coach GaryWilliams has just oneweek to figure out which combination of players works best together over 40 minutes. TheTerpshave a solidnucle-
us at their core,withfour start- ers finishing in double figures onMonday. Sophomore center Jordan
Williams paced them all with 18 points despite a 2-of-6 per- formance from the free-throw line. Junior Sean Mosley had 16. And seniors Adrian Bowie and Cliff Tucker turned in the most complete showings.Bow- iewas rock solidatpoint guard before yielding to gifted fresh- man Terrell Stoglin, finishing with 15 points, six assists and five steals. And Tucker went a long way toward allaying con- cerns about a lack of perimeter shooting. To his 15 points on 7-of-10 shooting, he added 10 assists andsix rebounds. And whether starters or
bench players were on the court, Maryland held an over- whelming edge in speed and hustle, at one point in the first half going ona 24-1 run. The Terps finished with 28
fast-break points to Florida Southern’szero.Theyscored28 points off turnovers. And with help from6-10 transfer Berend Weijs, they blocked 10 shots, with the towering Dutchman accounting for four of those blocks in14minutes ofwork. Williams was quick to note
that the exhibition, however encouraging,countedfornoth- ing. It’s simply a step, he said. Andit’sastepinwhat’s likelyto be one of the more daunting rebuilding challenges he has faced in his 22-year career at CollegePark. “We haven’t proven any-
thing yet,”Williams said. Florida Southern is a well
coached, ambitious Division II teamthatwent25-2last season and is girding for this year by hitting the road for exhibitions against three Division I oppo- nents: Butler, Maryland and Miami. TheMoccasins were expect-
ed to put up a bigger fight, having lost to Butler on Satur- day by a respectable 90-70 score. But after knotting it againstMaryland at 15 points, they got outplayed in every re- spect — particularly once the Terps ramped up their defense fromthree-point range. Williams played his starters
for the first 10 to 12minutes of each half then rotated in his newcomers, with Stoglin get- ting the most work (18 min- utes). Stoglin had a terrific first
half, hitting teammates with blistering,pinpointpasses.But his lightning tempo veered on recklessness inthe secondhalf, and the result was five turn- overs. “He was really alive, active,”
Williams said of Stoglin’s play in the early going. “He showed no fear.” Williams singled out Bowie
for an all-around great game, as he did Tucker, who seemed to be everywhere on the court, eager toplay any role. Tucker, forhispart, saidthat
he already has “more of com- fort level”beingastarter rather thancomingoff thebenchcold. “Hopefully that’ll help me out this year,”Tucker said.

KLMNO BASKETBALL Wizards anticipate a boost of energy at home wizards from D1
the possibility of having him available. “I say it’s very unlikely he’s
going to play,” Saunders said about Arenas, who visited foot- and-ankle specialist Mark Myer- son and received a shot in his troublesome ankle last Thursday. “He’s done a few things, but not many. So I don’t think he’s going to play. You’ll know 10 minutes before the game.” Wall offered a glimpse into his
immense potential in a 99-95 loss in Atlanta, as he confidently stroked perimeter jumpers, dropped beautiful outlet passes to his teammates for fastbreak layups and ran so many circles around Hawks players that At- lanta Coach Larry Drew, a for- mer Wizards assistant,
said,
“That is one fast human being.” Wall scored a game-high 28
points with nine assists and five rebounds, but he didn’t escape Philips Arena unscathed. He rolled his ankle late in the
third quarter as he was fouled driving and kicking out to Yi Jianlian. He tried to run it out and returned to hit two free throws to complete a string of 12 consecutive points scored for the Wizards. But Wall said he felt it getting worse as he sat on the bench in the breaks between quarters. “I knew it at that moment,
that’s why I ran to half court and tried to get away. When I got to the bench, I tightened my shoe up and just kept playing,” said Wall, who still managed to score 10 points and hit his first two career three-pointers in the fourth period. “Afterwards, you could tell, it started swelling up
JONATHAN NEWTON/THE WASHINGTON POST
After beginning the season with two road games, including a 29- point loss in Orlando, above, the Wizards play their first home game on Tuesday against the 76ers. Gilbert Arenas is not expected to play.
bad. It’s been swollen since the last game so just being in the walking boot will take the [pain] away,make it feel better.” TheWizards (0-2)will certain-
ly need Wall if they hope to take away the pain of being one of the NBA’s six remaining winless teams. They showed consider- able improvement in Atlanta af- ter their season-opening, 29- point loss in Orlando—themost lopsided loss for a No. 1 pick in
his debut — where the Magic embarrassed them so badly that all-star center Dwight Howard entertained his teammates by doing pushups on the sideline while the game was going on. The Wizards were tied with
the Hawks with less than five minutes remaining but were un- able to close as Atlanta finished themoffwith the help of all-stars Joe Johnson and Al Horford. “We’re pros so we’re not much

for moral losses or moral victo- ries or whatever you want to call it. It still hurts the same,” veteran guard Kirk Hinrich said. “Obvi- ously, we took a step forward. It wasn’t hard — there was only one way to go from the Orlando game, but we’re still working. I think everybody’s excited to just keep moving forward, and I think everybody’s heads are in the right place, as far as wanting to improve and wanting to win games. We can’t take a step backwards, and that’swhatwe’re focusing on.” AndrayBlatche said that being
at home for the first time should help the relatively inexperienced Wizards. “It’ll give us a lot of energy,” he
said. “Something we need, you know.We have a young team. It’s going to take time for us to develop, but the one thing is to continue to get better. [Tuesday] is going to be a tough game for both teams. Both of us [are] in the same situation, but for us, it’s different. We’re home. You al- ways have to protect your home.
That’s ourmind-set.” The 76ers (0-3) have also failed
to win this season, under new Coach Doug Collins, who stepped away from the booth as an analyst for TNT to return to the bench for the first time since his two-year stint with the Mi- chael Jordan-ledWizards. Arenas is the only player on
the Wizards’ 15-man roster who was in the NBA the last time Collins coached. The game will likely be the
first head-to-head matchup for Wall and No. 2 overall pick Evan Turner, who is used in a reserve role.While speakingwith report- ers in Philadelphia on Monday, Turner said he was “not really feeding into” a duel withWall. Wall expressed a similar senti-
ment. “You can’t be scared or try to
go into a one-on-one matchup,” saidWall, who leads theWizards in scoring (21 points) and assists (9.0) through the first two games. “It’s not like high school because if you do that, you can take your team out of the game right away so I just focus on the game plan that my team has, hopefully go out there and get the win.” Through his first two NBA
games,Wall said he has seen few surprises. “This is all I expected so far.
Everything’s been great—except for the losing part, but that comes with the NBA season. There’s 82 games so you’re not going towin every game . You got to get used to losing a couple. Hopefully, we get back on the winning track.”
