New Washington Wizards coach Flip Saunders says Gilbert Arenas looks fast on the court.
Saunders traveled to Chicago last week and watched Arenas work out and play. Saunders says Arenas' surgically repaired left leg is about four times as strong as it's been.
Says Saunders: "He gets to wherever he wants to get on the court. His quickness is back. If you walked into the gym, you wouldn't know he was hurt."
Wizards president Ernie Grunfeld says he expects Arenas to be ready from Game 1 this season.
Coming off three operations in 1½ years, Arenas played in only two games late last season. He is a three-time All-Star.
Saunders and Grunfeld spoke at Wednesday's news conference to introduce new center-forward Fabricio Oberto.
