the Washington Wizards are favored to land alexar at the number two overall pick but as that mean they shouldn’t draft another Center should the Wizards sign Clint capella and we going to take a look at the 51st pick and what Prospect fits the Wizards at that pick next unlocked on Wizards you are locked on Wizards your daily Washington Wizards podcast part of the locked on podcast Network your

two overall for the Washington Wizards so we’re going to look at reports about that and you know we’re g to kind of answer a question does that mean we don’t add another Center in the draft you know what is this history or not the history but the future of the center position in DC and should the watching wizard sign Clint capella there’s been a connection between him and Travis schlink going back to the Atlanta days for Travis schlink should the Wizards take a chance on Clint capella and the 51st overall pick we’re gonna take a look at Antonio Reeves can he be the guy in the second round for the Washington Wizards so let’s get into it um we’re going to dive into it uh SAR to DC is it a lock and right now it looks like it is a lock right now uh this report is from Evan Cy on X AKA Twitter at thra Draft Express uh so um Evan C is a Insider for ESPN and quote unquote it says the Hawks appear to be honing in on two players Zachary race or Donathan kingan as their preferred options at top their board alexar will now likely slip to the Washington Wizards at the number two overall pick so obviously that’s good news for a lot of us who like alexar and see him as being the pick and number two overall and I would love alexar here and I think that is is look more and more like he’s becoming a lock to become a wizard now you know there’s been a lot of reports to you know a Atlanta Hawks like Donan kingan or Zachary race at number one overall or B there’s been reports that Atlanta might trade back with the San anonio Spurs for the fourth and eighth pick so there’s going to be a lot of moving pieces especially if you look at the fact that a lot of teams in the top 10 if not the top 15 there there’s teams that are contending teams that are looking to add pieces to win now if you look at the Houston Rockets at number three if you look at um the Memphis Grizzly is number nine the Sacramento Kings at number 13 and the Miami Heat at number 15 um these are teams that are looking to trade their picks for players to help them win now now you could add the Detroit Pistons in number five yes they were worse than we were and that’s saying a lot but why would I say that they’re win now obviously with K Cunningham you know he’s getting closer and closer to that rookie scale extension you know what is keep him here long term now he doesn’t have to sign that extension you know Detroit’s a team where you know they’ve hit a lot you know they’re trying to build a team around K Cunningham so they very well could add a piece like you know I’m just saying Kyle kma that to helped them become more competitive and as you guys know they just fired their head coach Monty Williams and they still owe him five years of contract so there’s a lot going on in Detroit man so there’s a lot of changes need to be made in Detroit but hey we here for the whiz kids so alexar is looking more and more likely like he’s gonna be a lock at number two so what’s next do we still Target Center in the NBA draft you know because look if you look at his scouting report a lot of Scouts are saying that alexar yes at 7 foot he can play the center position but a lot of people are seeing the him as a long-term fit at the power forward position so do you do you still add a center and I’mma say maybe right you could play alexar at the five now if you look at what’s going on in uh at the center position for the washing Wizards you know we have Tristan vich who is on an inspiring contract because he was a second round pick so that Wizards signed him to a two-year contract so you know he’s going to a contract year so this is approval year for for him you know for for the Wizards to sign him to an extension which I think they very well they have all the leverage in the world to sign him to a very very very Team friendly deal so I definitely see him as a long-term piece at the center position he’s a seven-footer so you know you know offensively lot a lot of tools in his tool bag you know defensively you see Rim protection potential even though certain things like lateral movement um he needs to work on on the defensive side but he you know and you know looking at the offensive side obviously you like to see him a mid-range definitely want to see him uh learn to play with his back to the basket learn you know definitely want to learn some post moves because I again he’s a 7 Foot Center so you definitely won’t see him get better in the paint but he definitely can shoot the three-point shot but definitely w’t see him hit the mid-range but look at at the center position to DC know Mar Marvin Begley I third know his trade value went up could he be moved and even if he’s not he’s an aspiring contract ran Holmes does he enact his player option you know if he does because I think that the likelihood is is he will because will he get that amount of money in on the open market and I’m going say no not in the stage in his career man I think that the best case scenario especially if you look at the 122.5 million that he’s going to get enacting his player option I definitely can see him enacting his player option and see if we can get the trade value up and maybe he’s dealt at the deadline and either way you know two out of the three centers we already have on the roster are aspiring contracts now you can you can say three with Tristan vich but again they have the leverage to sign him to a team for leue deal as far as an extension so I could definitely see him being retained because he is definitely a nice piece for the future I like trist vich and he and yes the sample size is small but to me he’s shown enough to show the prove that he could be a long-term piece in DC at the center position but the other two gentlemen Marvin Bley the third and ran Holmes are aspiring deals you know so I definitely think we need to add another Center in my opinion now for us to be able to do that we would have to trade back into the first round now could they yes will they we don’t know yet has not been a clear indication What Will Dawkins and Company’s going to do as far as trading back in or trading back you know I you know the last episode we talked about the potential that if we don’t land Alex R do we trade back for 4 and8 now I said look if we don’t land alexar you definitely trade back for 4 and8 but if we have a chance to get alexar which is my number one prospect on my draft board um you definitely take that chance now I still think we need to trade back into the lottery and keep the uh the 26 overall pick and the first because I would like to see us come out of this draft with three to four young prospects to add to the mix for the rebuild so um at 26 obviously khw ain’t gonna be there and he might he might slide but you know you know at 26 you’re not gonna see Zack Edy in my opion because I I don’t think he gets past 15 to the Miami Heat so you’re looking at yaves missy so you guys comment below would would you like the Wizards to take a chance on youest Miss out of Baylor with the 26 overall ra pick because I think that you know and I’m not saying it’s a given we have to go get another Center because again Alex Sark played the center position and and then the fact that he could play the four and a lot of people think that he’s better suited to play the four you still got centers on the roster and Marvin backer the third ran Holmes and trist vich where you don’t necessarily have to go out and get that Center because you have alexar who again who play center and played the power forward position so if you get SAR I’m 50-50 with it you know maybe you if you trade back in maybe you grab a kware because again you know Martin M third and ran Holmes are expiring contract so you would like to Center position to have at least two to three guys you know Tristan vich um maybe pick up a clubw or a Zack Edy and alexar it really depends on the front office do they view him as a better fit at the center position do they view him as maybe a better fit at the power forward position and potentially in a couple years where if you develop him right you develop develop Tristan rusovich or another seven foot center right you could potentially have a tall lineup with a seven-footer at about at both the four and the five now not everybody’s in love with the tall lineups you know a lot of people hate to love what’s going on in Cleveland with Evan Mo at the power forward and with Jared Allen at the five and it doesn’t seem to be working too much because right now it’s rumored that Jared Allen could be on the trade block so you know there there’s plus and minuses to a taller lineup but here’s the thing about that one of the things that Westell Jr didn’t do which is Tinker with the star lineup you know if you look at a team like the Wizards where we have a lot of players on this team that are versatile play multiple positions if Brian Keef can game plan and really use and use that to his advantage to to utilize matchups you can go you know with alexar and his capability to play the four and the five that adds to the lurt of actually game planning you know not every lineup you can put them at the four there’s lineups where you can put them at the five so I think that alexar would his pick at number two um you don’t necessarily have to go out there and and grab another Center you know you could grab Miss at 26 because I think he definitely will be available at 26 but you could probably go in another Direction you don’t have to really make that move because again there’s a lot of Versatility with alexar with his ability to play the five and the four so that’s kind of where I’m at um you guys comment below let me know what you’re thinking um if we grab alexar which it looks like we’re probably G to do I said it before I believe there was a 95% chance and I stand by that I I’m going Elevate this thing I think there’s a 98% chance we get alexar because I think that yes you could say the smoking mirrors now could Atlanta be in fact be in love with alexar and be using smoking mirrors to kind of you know catch teams off guard you can see that you know with with the draft with free agency with with the trade market there’s always smoking mirrors you know and they very well could be picking Alex arar with number one so you know as you guys know I’ve looked at every possible outcome I looked at most prospects and I’m going look at more because the draft is next week I ain’t done with the draft content yet but the Wizards could definitely go in other directions but but you know smoking mirrors yes but I think there’s a lot to the reports man you know rash I think you know him and kingan would be good fits with what Atlanta is trying to do which Atlanta is kind of influx right because you know they have to trade Trey young or de jont Murray they have young players in Kobe buffkin Jaylen Johnson you know King capella could be on his way out so Donan King could be a really nice addition to a young Atlanta Hawks team that yeah they’re young but they still have a point guard into John Mor or Trey young so uh WEA Shay could fit so there’s a lot of possibilities but I I I definitely think it’s more than smoking mirrors I think that Atlanta could be leaning towards rasay and kinging and I think that there there’s a 95 that 98% chance that Alex har is gonna be a wizard and I think that you know saying that we don’t really need to go out there and really go get another Center in the draft in my opinion now you could again yest Missy it will be available at 26 but we don’t need to reach to go get Clare or Zack Ed you know I think that alexar you know again whether he’s a long-term five or four he’s going to be starting out on the second unit anyways depending on future moves now if K kma’s moved we’ll see how they fill the Gap at the four do they slide Denny there do they play Marvin B third there and and again we have versatility there could be matchups where Marvin bag third could be the power forward and there’s match ups where davia could be the power forward and and that’s the biggest takeaway from this everybody is that the wasi Wizards have versus versatility you know they have they have players who can play multiple positions you know we can finally game plan and not go the West unel Junior route which is just roll out the same starting lineup every night no Brian Keef can miss a match and actually game plan so I think that with alexar being versatile adding to the fact that we have players on the roster who are also versatile that adds the capabilities to this team and I like that going forward so uh we’re going to talk about K capella uh blah right Clint capella uh could Clint capella be a fit in DC why and why not but before we do tonight’s episode is brought to you by eBay Motors so passion drive and patience the formula for winning championships is also what keeps your ride die alive eBay Motors has

sports today brings you can’t miss analysis opinions and news streaming 24/7 on YouTube or the free Amazon Fire TV channels app part of the locked on podcast Network your team every single day all right let’s get into it uh Clint capella now obviously there is a connection between CL Clint capella I don’t know why I can’t say his name today guys uh Clint capella and Travis schlink who formerly was an executive with the Atlanta Hawks so let’s take a look at the report real quick behind Clint capella all right and this is through the NBA Central at the dunk Central on Twitter AKA X and it says the the Hawks are expected to trade one of Trey young or Deonte Murray but not both they’ll keep one to build around Clint capella is a popular trade Target for the Grizzlies Wizards pelicans and bulls having express interest so let’s take a look at that would you take a chance on Clint capella and I’m going to say no now it’s not to say I don’t like clink Bella because I’m a big fan of his game and it’s been years probably the last five to 10 years especially in John wire man where I advocated that we maybe make a run at Clint capella and I say five to 10 I don’t know if he’s been here 10 years but um it’s been a while now that I advocated that the Wizards should express interest in trading for Clint capella why Rim protection which is something that we sorely lacked man for a long time in DC in my opinion so but would I make a move for Clint capella now no if we add a Center I definitely think it needs to be through the draft now you know there was comments made that you know he could be brought here for leadership and I get all that because that’s a big thing while you know why Kyle kman is here leadership being a better and leader voice you know Anthony Gil’s been a leader um and you definitely see younger guys in the roster who need to step up and be leaders especially if they want to be long-term pieces in Denny Aya and Jordan P but you know Clint Clint capella at this at this stage in his career man and I get it he’s not really that old but he doesn’t fit the t m in DC in my opinion and he’s yes the ri protection the leadership yes there’s are great components to him but I’d rather add Center in the draft whether you know alexar 2 or whatever direction we decide to go but I think that if we’re going to add a center in this draft or add a center in this off season it needs to be via the NBA draft and not in free agency because again I don’t see us being very active in free agency um because the fact of the matter is we have relatively a full roster now obviously there’s going to be new moves that going need to be made tus Jones is he retained or is he allowed to walk for nothing and if and if even if he does not come back to DC do the Wizards do a signing trade you know look at at Kyle kma yes his contract is Team friendly but it is also friendly for teams that look they want to add a score and not break the bank to do so so is a double-edged sword it is it is a team freely deal not only for the wizards but for other teams who want to add a score and not break the bank to do so right um landre shamet non- guaranteed contract next year yes he’s still on contract but it is non- guaranteed he very well could walk you know if you look at Players like uh Eugene UI and Jared Butler they were signed to NBA standard contracts or Jared Butler was but it’s not guaranteed so right now hated and love it I’m a big Jared bullet fan but it’s not guaranteed he comes back because again his contract is not guaranteed so there’s a lot of flexibility with the Wizards um but do we add a piece like Clint capella and I’m G say no man I mean at this stage in his career at the stage of what of the process of what the Wizards are going through which is a rebuild a real rebuild um he doesn’t fit the timeline and I think that if you add a center in this off season for the wizers you definitely do it via the NBA draft you don’t do it in free agency because you know there’s other there’s been other names linked to the Wizards to a to a certain degree you know Nicholas claxon not so much um but Clint capella you see the connection because again Travis schlink was formerly of the Atlantic Hawk the Atlanta Hawk so it’s kind of like um Josh giddy in the rumors which conect him to Will Dawkins you know relationships matter in the NBA you know especially with Executives you know players you know if you look at the fact that you know players like kman Jordan pool you know with they’re links to other organizations the wizard are trying to build an organization where you know people want to come here so you know eventually we are going to be a hub of free agents now obviously the the core the majority of our roster is goingon to be built through the draft but I do think we will be a destination for free agents down the road because people are taking notice of what this team’s doing new the new revamped scouting Department you know the coaching staff that values development the front office that again values development and acquiring young picks or young players and picks so we have checked all the boxes for an organization that’s on the rise we’re in the early stages of it but we definitely have hit all or checked all the boxes for what an organization wants to have as far as the foundation 14 is looking towards the future so for all those reasons alone you know I don’t think that Clint capella would be a fit here in DC now yeah the relationship with Travis does matter you know again just like Josh Giddy and his relationship with Will daus dating back to Oklahoma City but Clint capella at the stage man you know I think we if you’re going to put a center out there you know I I’m cool with ran Holmes and Marvin Begley the third for one year now after one year I don’t know now Marvin Bley third is kind of like uh trist vich where it’s kind of a pro a season right your Marvin Bley third at his age he fits the timeline but due to injuries and question marks of you know lack of a motor which I didn’t I haven’t seen those issues in DC yet you know he’s came into DC and he’s played with a high motor so far but if you look at back in the Sacramento King days and the Detroit Piston days with Marvin be third the biggest knock against him was a low motor you know low confidence low motor so but all in all we have one year of Martin Beckle third and ran Holmes at least one year right um especially with Martin be thir we’ll see because if he performs he very well could be part of the future but you know saying that I I’m cool with the veteran the veterans we have at center right now especially if ran Holmes comes back because again it’s only for one year but you know with Tristan vich and potentially Alex SAR I think we’re good at Center man now we’ll see you know next year you know is definitely the Cooper flag in draft everybody saying Cooper flag a bus I would love Cooper flag but I would not make it to where it’s Cooper flag a bus man there’s definitely other prospects in the 2025 draft that can definitely be high in back players for the Washington Wizards so but I would love Cooper flag but you know we’ll see so in short I’mma say no to Clint capella you know I like his I like him as a player but not right now not not in the stage of his career and not with what the Wizards are trying to do I think we’re good with Marvin mag third ran Holmes and trist vich for next year and alexar you know obviously is a guy who could be the long-term five if not a four and you know but I think that we could possibly add in the future but not right now I think we’re good on the Clint the Clint capella so we’re going to talk about the 51st pick and Antonio Reeves is a guy that I think can definitely be an option for us at the 51st overall pick in this year’s NBA draft but before we talk about him tonight’s episode is brought to you by FanDuel so summertime means

Sportsbook all right let’s get back into it U let’s round this thing out Antonio Reeves is a guy that I think that at the 51st overall pick we should definitely take a look at him man because he is a very very intriguing Prospect and it’s not because I’m biased because I’m a Kentucky fan I think the kid can play some balls so let’s take a look at Antonio Reeves of the UN versity Kentucky because again I am a big Kentucky guy all right looking at his intangibles he is 6’4 if not 64 and a half with a 68 Wings span so for God at 64 and a half the wingspan of a 68 not too shabby uh 186 pounds uh his agency his agent is Sam rise at of CAA and he he’s formally out of Kentucky that is um so looking at his stats from this previous season he averaged 20.2 points a game 4.3 rebounds 4.3 assists 0.7 blocks but 1.7 steals a game he shot 50% from the field 44% from three and 88% from the foul line so before we get into pros and cons strengths and weaknesses what do I like about a statline number one 20 points a game he’s a guy who’s definitely an offensive minded guard now looking at his size where would I play him you know um and we’re going to take a look at his plus minuses before I really say if his if he could be a point guard or a two guard or on the size three but just purely looking at his stats 20 points a game shows me that he can score you know with a team like Kentucky man in the SEC that tells you something because the the level competition is up there in my opinion in SEC as far as basketball I me not just you know Sports period because they’re running in football too but uh averaging 4.3 rounds and 4.3 assists uh not bad rebounds for a guy who’s 6’4 you know 4.3 rebounds like to see go up to five assist numbers depending on he play whether he plays two guard or Point um kind of we see if I want his assist numbers go up but not bad uh blocks he 6’4 you know there’s players in this draft who their block numbers are better but it’s it’s not bad but one when 1.7 steals a game is what really shoots out to me man because it shows me that he’s a guy who’s going to get very active in passing lanes and try to get the turnovers man so 50% for the field again League average is around four uh 45% so he definitely shoots well above League average from Phil gold percentage 44% from three Lord have mercy I mean we’re looking for somebody League average is around 35 to 36% so shot 44% so he is a sniper which you can’t have you can never have enough Shooters man and he’s a guy that if you grab him with the 51st overall pick you get a shooter man on the second unit who can definitely be a sniper and 88% from the charity strike you know for a guy you know 88% is money so I like what I see from the stat line so look at his pros and cons and his strength and weaknesses what are what are some things I like about um Antonio Reeves well number one versatility I said it time and time again that this front offense is going to Target versatility in the draft and this is a team that really leans on versatility if you look at guys already on the roster you know Denny AIA with his ability to play two three different positions and he can guard all five same thing with BL kulali with his ability to probably guard all five um proba maybe one through four you know with bow but versatility is the name of the game for the Wizards um what else do I like obviously a three-point shot you know he is a sniper High volum three-point shooter which is desperately needed in DC because you know we got Cory kissper um is primarily our shooter man we need more Shooters in my opinion um another thing I like is his confidence he has confidence in the shot even when he misses he keeps shooting now is that always a good thing now if you look at the the the efficiency issues we had with Jordan p and Kyle kman sometimes you know bad efficiency hits but you you like confidence especially with young players man because eventually the shots going to drop to a certain degree right having a confidence even when he misses says a lot about him man um so he’s a very confident player you know especially in the shot when he misses you don’t see really see him leave his shot he still shoots the ball so yes he can get streaky but he can also get very streaky hot when it comes to his shot one more thing I like about Antonio Rees man is his footwork you know you don’t we don’t You Don’t Preach a lot about footwork especially American born players because I’ve said it time and time again you know these guys coming from Europe these guys know the fals of basketball footwork footwork which is something that a doesn’t teach anymore which is you know we’re we’re they’re teaching these kids to be able to dunk and do all these you know highlight real stuff and shooting logo threes but kids now don’t know how to use a pivot foot you know so the fact that he’s very polished as far as his footwork says a lot about what they’re teaching him in Kentucky because again schools like Kentucky Gonzaga these these places are getting these guys ready to play highlevel basketball why because they’re teaching them the fundamentals man so I think that’s one thing I do like about Antonio Rez man because his fundamentals man his footwork are money all right so with every Pro there is a con so what are things that I don’t like about Antonio Rees well you shouldn’t look at at a shot and I kind of said it before inconsistent efficiency as a high volume three-point shooter he is definitely a high volume three-point shooter but at times he can suffer from inconsistency and problems with efficiency which as we know we have you know we had this problem with Kyle kma and Jordan P which both of them are high level scorers in the NBA but they’ve had issues with efficiency and it’s definitely something that you saw Jordan P work on in the second half of the season and it’s definitely something you saw Kyle kma work on in the second half of the Season where they both know that for them to get other people around them involved they’ve got to become more efficient they got to shoot more high percentage shots and you got to learn not to take every shot they see you know so um that’s one thing you see when Antonio re man is that his efficiency can take a hit man now couple other things that are weaknesses for Antonio ree is he good enough at any one skill to really be a highlevel NBA role player and that’s a big question mark I mean is that yes he’s a sniper yes he can shoot the three-point shot but what other areas of his game can translate to the NBA and right now is is very murky and that’s why I’m saying he fits best in his second round very rough very developmental piece um with the right system the right environment the right coaching staff I believe he can add other parts to his game maybe see if he can be a playmaker but right now he’s a sniper he’s a catch and shoot three-point shooter um so right now the question marks is can he can he develop a skill outside of being a shooting specialist and we’ll see man we we’ll definitely see on that but I definitely think he’s worth a look at the at the 41st overall pick in my opinion so um that’s where I’m at I think that at number 51 overall in the second round you know last year proved with Tristan vich was proven that will Dawkin knows how to find the Diamonds in the Rough in the second round gone on the days are Yan zosa which he’s on the MK card we don’t even know where he’s at right now so the fact that our second round pick actually played minutes shows you that the Washington Wizards new front offense is prioritizing not only the first round talent but they’re looking to make solid editions in the second round and Antonio Reeves in my opinion raw yes very limited yes yes but he is definitely a look at at the 51st overall pick in my opinion so comment below let me know what you guys are thinking um about everything we covered today um how excited are you about the prospect of alexar coming to DC and do you see him as a long-term five or long-term four Clint capella would you like him here why and why not and with the 51st overall pick would Antonio Reed be a prospect for you man we’ll see because the Wizards did bring him in for workout so lockone has launched the first ever national sport 247 streaming Channel on YouTube and now it’s

Is Sarr Any Good who is his Comp?!
Could wizards get four first round picks? Get San Antonio picks at 4. And 8 then trade kuz to the kings
Claxton would fit the timeline better than Capela. Wizards looking forward not backwards.
Don’t believe Sarr is gonna drop – but the big sign I’m really intrigued by is the fact he has been “unable” to go to a workout with the Hawks so far and instead prioritized a private visit with the Wizards already. Fingers crossed he’s pulling an Eli Manning!
Ideal 1st round:
#2. Sarr
#13. Isaiah Collier
#26. Nikola Djurisic
Which team says no?
Houston receives: Kuzma and the 26th pick plus a first round pick from 2027 or 2028 (top 10 protected)
Washington receives: the 3rd pick in the upcoming draft, Jock Landale and Jeff Green.
I hope we get sarr
Feels like Sarr is overrated, limited player with low ceiling,what so special about him? not better than John salley…
If I wanted a developmental center at #26, I would select Ulrich Chomche. I would not mind Yves Missi, though.
How about this idea of a trade three team trade between Washington Spurs, and Houston and hear me out. Let say Atlanta draft clingan ok there could trade I mde a wizards trade 2 and pool me to spurs , the Houston would get kuzma and jones and wizard would get 3,4 and a future 1 from spurs or Houston . This trade would get spur chance draft Zacky , then wizard could grab sarr they could draft that point guard , they looking for.at number 5
Cade Canigham must sign the extension. He is RFA, meaning the Pistons can match any contract he will sign in other team, so he will definitely sign with the Pistons on the maximum salary he can get.
You were spot on with Cam Whitmore, jury's out on Sarr
No Cappela, I'd prefer Reed Shephard over Sarr. I'd explore a trade of Kuzma & 26 for the Spurs picks.
I'd LOVE to trade #2 for #4 & unprotected 2025 1st. Then trade #4 for #14 & another 2025 1st. We'd come away with 3 #1 2025 picks. #DreamDraft
Clint Capela is an older Gafford (a little better but much more expensive). I like Gafford, but there is a reason why he was traded and the low prize we got isn't the answer (he had 3 years, we can wait for a better trade). Deni big improvement start after this deal (and others too) because he has more space in the paint without Gafford who is stuck with the opponent's center in the middle (Gafford isn't a threat outside the paint and Capela is the same).
Clint Capela coming to Wizards is not like Bobby Wagner to Commanders. I'll ride with the current bigs on the roster plus the youth we draft.
Forget Capela and Claxton
Reeves comp is James Jones / Norm Powell. Worst case Jordan Nwora.
Id rather they trade kuzma and take Edey…man, Collier, bilal, deni, Sarr and Edey….. good luck scoring against them…go small with Poole, kispert, bilal at three, deni and Bagley,…deep
Edey or Kel Él Ware…….then trade Kuzman in the top 14 1st rd…..to get Matas Buzelis
Thank you for losing the hat, you look professional now
It looks that way 👍🏾. I agree that we do need another center even if we draft Sarr. Why not attach Corey Kispert to the 26 pick to move up for Kel’el🤷🏾♂️!
I understand that we got to trade Kuz but I don’t think that will happen for at least another year
Much love to u Brandon and the entire Locked on Wizards podcast
Sarr and Topic at 13. We need high upside.
I would love to get Sarr and Castle. I know it’s difficult but Oh man!
Take Sarr at 2 and package Kuz and 26 plus 1 more player maybe a stretch
