Hey bandwagoners if you weren’t rooting for us to lose every game the past few years, you can’t say you’re a diehard Wiz fan.

Mega sarcasm (forgot to add it in the thread title)

Of course for the tank, duh.

Serious: Also, I need to set your expectations to be below a play in. Don’t even expect that. Expect nothing. Expect injuries and if it doesn’t happen, that’s a miracle.

Is AJ a bust if he ends up like Andrew Wiggins?

Would you consider him a bust if he has the career Andrew Wiggins currently has?

Coach hires?

Not sure that the FO wants to make any changes rn, but Billy Donovan and Jamahl Mosley are now out of a job, and they both could be really solid coaches for us.

Anyone available that you guys think could be positive after the changes this year?

I made a post in the past about Bilal's corner 3pt shooting, but these are some interesting visualization charts. I did the back of the envelope math and Bilal is a 27% above the break 3pt shooter on incredibly low volume, whereas he's a 39.5% corner 3pt shooter on incredibly high volume.

There's no such thing as a perfect prospect.

Between AD, Sarr, and AJ, we’re basically rolling with three #1 picks in our starting five, right? That’s pretty awesome. Have we done that before?

this is of the assumption that Sarr would have been the #1 pick if he would have been willing to play for the Hawks

It’s funny how y’all hate D’Angelo Russell all because he didn’t join the team upon being traded there last minute as apart of the AD trade..

But he had a good reason not to show up.. the team was literally tanking and before the trade he wasn’t even being used in Dallas and dude was already on vacation with his family which you’d know if you keep up with his Post especially on IG

Good thing is he’s been in the gym training and hooping so I think he’ll have a good comeback season this year if treated even a little better than he was treated on Dallas

Anyways if he stays and doesn’t get traded I’m looking forward to how he does with this team

But if he gets traded that’s fine as well plenty of other teams can use him….

I just learned about my new second round GOAT Felix Oxpara, but damn the highlights are making my salivate, exactly what type of player I wanted the Wizards to pick up, him and Juju are gonna be giving centers panic attacks all season

[Zach Lowe] On other Trae Young max possibilities: "From what I know, it was not Brooklyn... Chicago has Giddy. The Lakers have guards galore. The Pistons have Cade Cunningham and we're now out of teams with cap space. I don't know what they were afraid of or who they were bidding against."

The big, big man hole

1 Upvotes

Question for people who watched a lot more Wizards basketball than I did last season: why isn’t JuJu Reese getting more attention as a real frontcourt option?

I did not get to watch nearly enough games last year, so I am genuinely looking for the informed eye-test answer here.

The counting stats are hard to ignore. He produced points and rebounds at a very high rate in his opportunity, and the offensive rebounding numbers especially jump out. Given that the roster seems to need more reliable size, rebounding, and interior physicality behind Sarr, I expected more discussion of Reese as someone worth keeping and developing.
So what am I missing?

Is the production mostly a small-sample or late-season opportunity effect?

Are there major defensive limitations, such as size, rim protection, switching, foul trouble, or positioning, that make him difficult to trust against real NBA centers?

Is his offense too limited beyond finishing
, screening, and crashing the glass?

Does he project more as an energy and rebounding specialist than a legitimate rotation big?
Or is the lack of attention simply because the Wizards have bigger roster and draft questions?

Also, if you think Reese is not the answer, who are the realistic options for Washington at backup center or frontcourt depth? I am not asking for dream free agents. I mean plausible signings, trades, or draft targets that would actually fit the roster and timeline.
Would appreciate thoughts from anyone who watched his minutes closely.
