TWT FIVE: BIG MEN THE WIZARDS CAN SIGN

Down to rookie JaVale McGee after an injury to Andray Blatche, the Wizards need help down low. Here are the folks waiting for work:

1. P.J. Brown: The 15-year veteran would bring a dose of professionalism.

2. Austin Croshere: Just waived by the Spurs, he’s 6-foot-10 and can shoot.

3. Paul Davis: The Clippers waived the former Michigan State player earlier this month.

4. Lance Allred; D-League player averages 14.0 points and 9.5 rebounds for Idaho.
