Wall: (started) 38 Min - 21 Pt - 9 Asst - 4 Stl
Orton: Did Not Play - Coaches decision
Patterson: (bench) 7 Min - 0 Pt - 0 Reb
Bledsoe: (bench) 30 Min - 9 Pt
Cousins: (started) 28 Min - 16 Pt - 16 Reb
Cousins and Wall packin' the weight.. No surprise tho!... Bledsoe with 30 minutes and 9 pts WOW... He will improve with time.
DALLAS -- The Washington Wizards are now John Wall's team. So says Gilbert Arenas.
"He's going to be great," Arenas said. "He has a knack for finding people and getting to the basket. ... He's Batman, I'm Robin."
Wall had 21 points and nine assists, Lester Hudson hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 2.5 seconds remaining, and the Wizards held on to beat the Dallas Mavericks 97-94 on Tuesday night in the preseason opener for both teams.

Did Orton not play because he's that bad, or is he injured?
^ They are holding the big man until season starts.

He's not injured.
Just not ready yet.
He has an NBA body so expect him to get PT later on.

When it is listed as Coaches Decision, then is as simple as the Coach did not play him for whatever reason. If it was an injury, it would have been listed as such.

Dwight gets loads of PT and the Polish Hammer is better that Orton.
So I don't see the third string center doing anything.

They will put him in with Gortat.
This is only preseason. Stats for these guys should be amplified since they are playing bigger minutes than any starter in the league
