The Philadelphia 76ers now know their first-round opponent and they can begin (if they haven’t already) scheming to stop the vicious backcourt-led attack of the Washington Wizards. The Wizards have had sort of an odd season. They opened the year 5-15 and looked very much in contention for the first overall pick in the upcoming draft. By late March, they made a trade with the Chicago Bulls to acquire the 22-year-old big man out of Arkansas, Daniel Gafford. Gafford added some much-needed athleticism to their frontcourt and following the player swap, they went on a hot streak between early April through mid-May which got them very much back into the playoff picture.

Everyone who has ever been rejected, in any walk of life, knows how deeply it can sting. Which makes the soothing balm of subsequent affirmation all the sweeter. At least four publishers turned down George Orwell’s Animal Farm while the curt advice once issued to F Scott Fitzgerald – “You’d have a decent book if you get rid of that Gatsby character” – has also entered literary lore. One person’s opinion is not necessarily the gospel truth.
It is similarly the case in sport. Rugby is full of examples of successful players who were rejected, overlooked or released on their way up. Often it is the making of them, the initial setback proving the catalyst for individuals either to redouble their efforts or change their entire outlook. Some clubs, the double-winning Exeter Chiefs among them, had a policy of recruiting so-called misfits or rejects from other teams whom t
