Since his days as a unmolded prospect at UNC Antawn Jamison is moving his career in the right direction. He's come a long way. After starting his pro career at Golden State in 1998 then being traded to the Mavericks, Jamison has found a home in Washington. Alongside Wizards teammate Gilbert Arenas he strives to help the Wizards make the playoffs for the second year in a row.
So far in the season Antawn is averaging 21.1 points, 11.5 rpg, and 2.0 apg. His veteran leadership on the Wizards is influential. The sterling performances and contribution he brings to the table serves as motivation for the entire team. He never quits out there on the floor even when he's not feeling 100%. By making a dazzling plays on offense and defense, Jamison sparks a rejuvenated energy amongst his teammates. They look up to him. The opposition has to look out for the lanky 6'8 small forward when he get in a groove or is on fire.
Along with inside scoring and consistent rebounding Jamison is becoming a much improved outside shooter. He's a 37% shooter from behind the arch. With the season drifting into the second half that number is likely to increase. What makes the former UNC Tarheel such an valued asset to the Wizards is the minutes he gives on the floor each game and his commanding ability. That and also his teammates respect him. His crafted skills shows how well he works and performs with guys like Gilbert Arenas, Caron Bulter,and Brendan Haywood. Jamison makes them better players as they feed off his energy and strengths. The Wizards will succeed in the Eastern Conference, finishing within third place and capturing another playoff slot. Go Wiz!
