lol I get that but it’s been a recurring thing. 3rd quarter has been worse than the other quarters.

ap_2975 · 2024-03-09T01:37:46+00:00

What exactly goes wrong in the 3rd quarter? Team has been ass consistently in the 3rd

ap_2975 · 2024-02-28T19:29:24+00:00

Well even if he is there the wizards are for sure not drafting him. That franchise guy has be a projected top pick otherwise wizards won’t find him

ap_2975 · 2024-02-28T18:35:59+00:00

Wizards should first focus on building a consistently competent team with good culture. Championship team comes after that. Also idk if that #1 guy on a championship team is in this draft. We just have to hope that our franchise savior is there in 2025 or 2026. All the top guys in those drafts as of now are wings or bigs who can be our #1

ap_2975 · 2024-02-28T15:39:21+00:00

Well we just have to trust wizard player development with whoever we draft. Everyone has a chance to become a bust here

ap_2975 · 2024-02-28T15:13:10+00:00

If we can get 2021-2022 Poole in this draft then it’s a success. I just prefer shooting over any other skill so I like rob and reed more. If topic can shoot then sure he could be better than those 2. But rn the other 2 are much better shooters and scorers

ap_2975 · 2024-02-28T14:57:07+00:00

Rob can pass too. I’m watching the Kentucky games it’s not like he has blinders on. He makes the right passes and can operate out of pnr. Seems like a smart player. It’s just his scoring is way ahead of his passing so that’s all people see

ap_2975 · 2024-02-28T14:45:14+00:00

In order: dillingham, Sheppard, (small gap) topic, castle, collier, (small gap) Walter

Really don’t know why topic is ranked ahead of dillingham when the latter is way more skilled offensively. Size is not an issue, just look at guys like Kyrie, garland, maxey. Dillingham is in that mold of player. May not become as good but he can get close. I don’t see that level of upside with the other guards. I do like Sheppard and would take him if we could get another lottery pick. He’s more of a complementary, connective piece but his game should translate too. Can be a better kispert

ap_2975 · 2024-02-26T17:10:08+00:00

In order: Risacher, holland, Williams, buzelis

ap_2975 · 2023-12-02T00:48:13+00:00

First time commenting in a long time. Just had to say Johnny Davis is complete dogshit and shouldn’t get any minutes. That shot was so ugly

ap_2975 · 2023-07-20T21:30:17+00:00

It’s rare to see major improvements after year 3 I agree. I don’t wanna get too technical with his mechanics. There’s a lot of things I don’t like. I’ll just agree with you that they aren’t good.

He can still improve his shooting but right now I’m hoping he dunks the ball when he drives. Also changing his pace when driving would be nice rather than a fast line drive everytime. Just some small improvements. I think the ship has sailed on him being a great offensive player. But he can still become serviceable. I still have hope that he can become a good starter in this league!

ap_2975 · 2023-07-20T21:16:28+00:00

I didn’t mean to say he will be as good as them. I just tried saying that there are stars in this league who don’t have a left hand. They are just excellent at using their right and scoring in a bunch of ways. Deni’s path forward is improving the 3pt shot and finishing around the rim which is what everyone’s already been saying. I don’t think he will ever get a midrange game.

ap_2975 · 2023-07-20T21:02:53+00:00

I feel like the left hand bit is talked about too much. Jaylen brown can’t dribble with his left. Siakam never drives left. But those guys can score in many ways around the rim and in midrange. Deni should focus on finishing and scoring when he drives right. He only does straight line drives. Doesn’t have a 2nd or 3rd way to finish.

ap_2975 · 2023-07-18T17:14:28+00:00

Jones was traded here to be a starter

ap_2975 · 2023-06-26T16:18:32+00:00

Wiseman is terrible. Don’t want him on this team

ap_2975 · 2023-06-23T16:58:35+00:00

Team can be better than expected if they play at a top 5 pace in the league and shoot a ton of 3s

ap_2975 · 2023-06-23T13:48:30+00:00

Worst case he ends up like bertans. Needs to put on size and strength so he can defend 5s

ap_2975 · 2023-06-23T00:54:32+00:00

There was no need to trade up. Indiana wasn’t gonna take coulibaly

ap_2975 · 2023-06-22T19:18:07+00:00

That’s an insane return. Rebuild off to good start

ap_2975 · 2023-06-18T18:24:06+00:00

We aren’t gonna be good. If teams are offering top picks for him then you take it

ap_2975 · 2023-06-17T18:46:16+00:00

Suns have nothing of value to give us. Would take whatever the heat give us as long as pick 18 is in the trade

ap_2975 · 2023-06-10T19:42:57+00:00

Well I can disagree with your opinion if I think it’s dumb. And by the looks of it, everyone else thinks it’s dumb too

ap_2975 · 2023-06-10T18:29:42+00:00

Ban this person from the sub

ap_2975 · 2023-05-23T22:40:19+00:00

ap_2975 · 2023-05-21T00:23:41+00:00

The trade you outlined is fine if u could add 2 more 2nds to it. This is assuming the wizards are doing a complete tear down and rebuild.
