So it looks like the Washington Wizards' brilliant move to keep less than the league maximum 15 players on their roster has, imagine this, backfired. With Antonio Daniels joining hobbled Gilbert Arenas, rookie Oleksiy Pecherov, and Etan Thomas on the inactive list, the Wiz only have 9 players on their bench. According to published reports, the team is actively seeking out someone to give them some depth at the guard position.
Far be it from me to say I told you so.... but I'm pretty sure "We" [read: The greater GW Basketball community] told you so.
It's unclear if Mike Hall has a chance at the roster spot. Both Wizards coach Eddie Jordan and team management say they'll look at a number of players with experience playing in DC including Brian Chase and Donell Taylor who is now under contract in Greece.
There is some hope for MH3 as Ernie Grunfeld had this to say about the situation:
"We have some names on a short list and in all likelihood we'll bring someone in who we feel can help us," Grunfeld said. "We're not going to get someone from another team in a trade scenario. It's going to be a free agent type of player from the development league, CBA, someone who isn't currently on an NBA roster."
So is Mike on that short list? We should know shortly.

Yes they beat Sacramento without having a legit PG. But Sacaramento had only won one road game this year and was playing a back to back game on the road and the Wiz had a couple of days rest.
I'm not sure they can win consistently against good teams without a legit PG.
