The Wizards Just Saved Their Franchise

Donate to Palestine: www.pcrf.net/
The Washington Wizards knocked the NBA Draft out of the park. With the additions of Alex Sarr and Bub Carrington, they're on the pathway to becoming a good team again. Bilal Coulibaly was already very good and can get even better. What's next for the Wizards?

If we can get cooper flagg or AC bailey next year, a future line up is bub, Poole, bilal, flagg, and Sarr would be nasty in the future

[@Invalidusrr]

If Deni can be traded I’m not so sure if Poole is a part of our future

[@TomKite51]

Poole will be in the last year of his deal when the Wizards are just starting to compete for the Playoffs. The last year of his deal is also the only year his contract is really able to b moved. Either way if traded or he plays out his contract, Poole likely isnt a part of there "winning" future. Kispert and Kuz will likely be the ones to get traded this deadline. Bright future already for a rebuild that did not start with many assets whatsoever.

[@Jtarttonmymomma]

No Poole lol

[@TuckedintotheWizardsBedPodcast]

Super excited to see these dudes share the court together

[@YeBiz]

Our new FO knows what they’re doing for sure, starting from when they flipped CP3’s contract for Poole to them cooking in this draft. Not to mention Vukcevic who I think could be a really good pair with Sarr once they both add some muscle. The 2025 draft could get us the star we need too to shape up what our competitive core guys will look like

Great video. Wiz finally starting to get some respect again !

I’m blown away that he hasn’t received an Anthony Davis comparison.. especially coming out of college the two are identical. Davis was a rim running athletic big who can handle the ball abit and a developing jumper. I see the same thing here… build is similar just taller.

[@asherlevynba]

That’s a bit rich for me personally but glad you see that

[@onone800]

Not even a close comparison.. Sar’s ceiling is high kinda reminds me of a yung lamarcus aldridge

[@patricklavoiechristakos4774]

@@onone800 what?😂 bro he doesn’t even play in the low post nearly as often as Aldridge. Way more athletic than him too.

[@ScrillaTMU]

Lol at the background music. But the more I listen to it, the more I like it. Great break down by the way. Really excited for these young guys and the team. I think Bub will be one of the steals of the draft as long as they let him play and learn through it

[@asherlevynba]

Lol, thanks man. I just decided to throw some pokemon music in there and people seem to like it, and I do so I'll keep throwing it in. Bub should be super, super fun.

[@LUNALIGHTYEAR]

Very good draft for them. And it seems like they might be actually prioritizing youth instead of drafting players and putting them behind vets. Bub and coulibaly will have great synergy.

you said the right amount or just 15 I want him to keep his mobility….don’t go full Dwight or Giannis 😂

My only thing is we have no mass bodies in the middle we need enforcer

[@asherlevynba]

That should be Sarr eventually

[@Randomshiznit]

@@asherlevynba i don’t think that’s the case. Even if he becomes that we will need help on the wing and middle still. Look at the entire roster no beefy guys (no diddy).

Absolutely not. As long as Leonisnis owner it will continue to be a shit show

It seems like he’s taking a step back and letting the new FO do their thing. I can’t imagine that if Leonsis was more hands on with this trade he would’ve let Deni go.

[@asherlevynba]

That’s fair, unfamiliar with the teams owner

[@jpc90]

Two picks in one of the weakest draft classes of all time does not give the wizards one of the strongest young cores in the league. I can name like 25 other teams with a better future than them.

[@thesunofgod.]

tf you mad about 😂

[@cedricdixon1069]

Couple of things.......Sarr would have gone top 5 in just about ANY draft. Players with his height, length, mobility and defensive skills always go high. Look at the players he's most compared to, Evan Mobley (3rd pick) and Jeran Jackson Jr (4th pick). Also no matter how "weak" a draft is there will be All Stars from it. Just gotta find them. Sarr most definitely and possibly Bub if he continues to develop could be. Again could be.......those two are definitely good pieces to have for a team in a rebuild and that wants to build via the draft.
