bub is a future all star

[@ACD1994]

If he is...probably won't be with the Wizards.

[@softenthesilence]

These dudes sound super humble and ready for the opportunity that stands in front of them. Excited to see them grow as players and men, great job Mr. Dawkins!!

Facts They definitely giving good responses

[@RUDIAZTRANS22]

Nice Alex Sarr will be a good backup for Marvin Bagley

[@IzzyCooks]

@@RUDIAZTRANS22he wants to play the 4😭 so surely Kuz is gone

[@RajPlayz]

bro each video i watch i just get more excited for whats to come!! these guys already feel like family

[@masoncurtiss277]

This new FO with Dawkins and Winger got me excited. Sarr has me very excited and I think we got something special with him. And Bub and Kyshawn are gonna be great for us also

[@NyQuiiLx]

Will Dawkins is a stand up guy. How often do you hear the GM take out a moment to thank the staff, and families of the kids being drafted?

[@rtwo4570]

I know Ernie never did this. He never even addressed the media. Tommy did but always seemed disingenuous

[@AF-rd2vf]

These pups are so mature for their age.

One thing I really took away from this conference is the way Bub carried himself and how he answered questions. He could be our main guy in the future!!

DMV STAND UP! Our Wizkids are on the come up

[@rebellucyanne]

GOod job Will. The fans are excited

[@wallstreethitmyline]

THE FUTURE!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nofuture_at_all]

We came to the draft expecting to get Sarr and I'm glad that we got him. But I think Bub will be my favorite among these three rookies. I haven't seen his game yet but after watching some interviews and this press conference, I feel like he's a born leader the way that he speaks. You couldn't tell that he's only 18 years old.

[@Teasticles]

Summer League championship on the way

[@s1im.ki11a]

oh yea?

[@yeshuathebeginningandtheen1497]

If not it’s a big disappointment but I agree we should win this year

[@IzzyCooks]

@@yeshuathebeginningandtheen1497not necessarily, the SL is entertaining but it doesn’t matter much, I wouldn’t take it too seriously and sarr might not even play in all the games

[@yeshuathebeginningandtheen1497]

@@IzzyCooks ok Izzy you have your opinion I have mine it does matter if you wanna win so yeah I want them to win if they don’t it will be disappointing

[@everythinglakers1713]

Coming from a Lakers fan, Wizards fans should be EXTREMELY EXCITED for this draft class and the future they are building out. Post Beal era, this is one of the best cases you could hope for with a young core of Sarr in the front court, Bub whose only 18 years old, George at the wing, and potentially more trades to get more young players or draft capital for Kuzma/Jones. Also, you probably want to develop these young guys so losing a bunch of games next season should be the move since 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most stacked classes in the Top 10 of next years draft class!

[@Truthman45]

🫡 Salute even lakers fans paying attention to our moves

[@thesunofgod.]

I think if george develops well/work on his shot creation he can play the 2 Bilal at 3 Sarr at 4 and Bub at the 1.

[@trulyluv-xl9211]

wizards fans stay down an trust this front office.. our future will be bright, 2 to 3 years we will be back in the payoffs... look at OKC Grizzles Wolves etc.. it takes time an our time coming

Minnesota was out of the playoffs for 18 years as they blew rebuilds left and right. Maybe not the best example.

[@Ryan-wx1bi]

[@TheRealTeflonRon]

Nice line. If Bub would’ve stayed in college we all know he would’ve been a #1 overall pick so we did hella good getting Bub. Definitely satisfied with our drafting 💯

[@insideonthedaily]

kuz getting traded, sarr playing the 4 and valanciunas starting at center

[@TheRealTeflonRon]

@@insideonthedaily kuz not going anywhere yet. He was the most consistent for our team last year.

[@insideonthedaily]

​@@TheRealTeflonRon we're just now starting the rebuild and Kuz is a player who would instantly be a veteran contributor for a playoff contender. Makes little to no sense to keep him in this current timeline, especially as we try to land the top pick in next years draft. We can also easily acquire 2 FRPs for Kuz when you look at what Deni went for.

[@rtwo4570]

Will Dawkins is such a breath of fresh air after two decades of Ernie & Tommy.

[@ritchiemathews1794]

Still a couple of years of building needed but like Dawkins said these guys are the new foundation. First time in years I’ve been excited to watch the Wiz even if the win totals will be low this season. Looking to see which undrafted players the team will pick up.

[@cwhiteco]

Though Bub is the youngest,he comes across very mature for his age.

[@timfoisie9508]

I like the vibe of these players; I like the fact that they seem to embrace playing defense.

[@timfoisie9508]

Good awareness by Dawkins. Recognized and appreciated.

[@zachemmons5354]

My question is how can the Wizards introduce Bub Carrington when Portland drafted him and the trade can’t become official until July 6th? I mean, the Blazers can’t even talk about the Deni Advija trade yet.

[@RUDIAZTRANS22]

Nice Alex Sarr will be a good backup for Marvin Bagley

[@rtwo4570]

I was wondering that too. Someone could fail a physical and this whole thing could be negated by

How can the french and the swiss guy have that perfect English?? I mean pronounciation wise they are native English, aren't they?

[@MisterFoxxy7]

Kyshawn is half-canadian and Sarr played in foreign countries since he was 14 so that's how he learnt english

[@yakovvidberg7035]

Deni avdija will show you what is like to trade a all star

[@mindme9662]

he only averaged high numbers because everyone was traded and was basically the only scoring option, even his 40 point game only happened because Kuz was hurt, look at the blazers roster shaedon scoot jerami anfernee are all gonna be taking more shots than him, over there he'll just be spot up corner

[@brianskoi]

All of these guys will be just ordinary NBA players. Watch Deni Avdija become a big star in the NBA. The Wizards will never rebuild because they always trade their young talent and get nothing in return. Not a fan anymore after 50 years.

[@couptakeover]

Deni is a good player… But, don’t act like he’s a superstar! He might make an all-star team before his career is over, but that’s about it. He’s not and will never be a number 1 option on any team.

[@g0DMVzzzz]

I kind of think so too. I’m not sure about guard he had the ball a lot in college.

[@thesunofgod.]

Cap… and Bye 👋 😂 we don’t care.

[@ColdHoops]

Always trade their young talent? They didn't trade Wall and Beal...

[@brianskoi]

@@couptakeover Never said he would be a number one option, but he is getting better every year. If he played the minutes and was told he could cut loose and get a lot of attempts....I guarantee he would be among the league leaders in scoring. Mark my words, he will be an NBA star and he will scorch the Wizards when they play. Remember....was Joker considered a great prospect early in his career?? No...he was believed to be a ordinary somewhat good player......... If the Wizards become a good team in the next 2 or 3 years, then I will have been wrong......but I doubt it. They will just keeping trading away young talent and start over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
