There was once a point in time when some believed Kevin Seraphin would be Nene’s heir apparent in Washington. Admittedly, I was a part of that group, albeit for a very short period.
Seraphin, a young, skilled big man, seemingly had all the tools to replace Nene once the Brazilian decided to ride off into the sunset. Both players are mobile, could score in the post and have developed a reliable mid-range jump shot.
Before the Washington Wizards acquired Nene from the Denver Nuggets in 2012, Seraphin had somewhat of a breakout stretch, leaving people to believe that the front office had found their big man for the future.
