Arenas shows his unselfish side
Posted by GameSetMatch on October 7th, 2009
Washington Wizards fans have long waited to find out what version of Gilbert Arenas they can expect to see this season. In the sampling offered up by the former three-time All-Star during Tuesday night’s 101-92 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies to open the preseason, Arenas took a step toward answering those questions.
Is he healthy? After three knee surgeries on his left knee in two years and a summer with famed athletic trainer Tim Grover in Chicago, the answer appears to be yes.
Can he be an effective floor general running Flip Saunders’ offense? Judging by early indications, yes. Arenas assisted on the Wizards’ first seven baskets and went on to record 10 assists.
Can he be the Arenas of old, the MVP candidate who averaged 27.7 points a game from 2004 to 2007? That’s still to be determined.
Arenas showed no hitches as he showed great acceleration and leaping ability and drove past defenders at will. And his court vision was as keen as it ever was as he wove through defenders and still managed to find his teammates. But Arenas hardly looked for his own shot, taking just five attempts. He made only one of them and struggled from the foul line as well, going 3-for-9.
