Washington Wizards let’s talk about it all next on locked on Wizards you are locked on Wizards your daily Washington Wizards podcast part of the locked on podcast Network your team every day what’s good everybody it’s your boy Brandon Scott again and I appreciate you guys making lock on Wizards your first listen every single day we are free and available wherever get Podcast and on YouTube part of the lock on podcast Network your team every single day all right let’s get into it the Washington Wizard tonight win their first Summer League match up against Atlanta Hawks 94-86 and the three young men just added to the team during the draft shine tonight so we’re going to get into it and of course tytus Jones the Clippers have interest in ass signing trade for tus Jones so we’re going to get could we get a player could we get a pick what kind of compensation can we give for tus Jones for the Los Angeles Clippers and Evan 48 there is interest in Evan for as being a mentor to both Alex SAR and Below kulali fellow Frenchman so let’s get into first on the agenda tonight the Wizards win 94 to 86 the first sumon game in Las Vegas so let’s get into it and first of all looking at the um the starting five interest in starting five uh they had B bub carrson starting at point guard two guard uh Johnny Davis uh Justin champen at small forward Eugene and Marie at the power forward and alexar actually started at the center position tonight so let’s get into the point guard Bob Carrington man and let me tell you man if you’re not excited about buob carington in Wizard Jersey you should be because he looks like he could potentially be a still at the 14th overall pick and like I said first early game too early but like I said I’m very high on the young man I like him in the draft and I think that he very well is definitely part of the future but at point guard could be the future long term at point guard for the Washington WIS so looking at the stat line tonight um 31 minutes play like what I see there now uh if you like the plus minus he was plus um 18 19 points tonight but the outside of 19 points now with the 19 points um he shot Five for 10 for the field four forade from three I mean he started a game with a trait I mean this guy is a shooter we knew he was a shooter coming out of Pittsburgh and he did not disappoint four forade from three man I mean you you see the potential with him from the perimeter and that’s why I’m very excited with him being the future guy a point guard essentially because he can shoot you know my favorite point guard was was John Wall and the only knock against him was was a shot you see the potential with bub Carron man like I said be more product I mean he can play he he’s a sniper but you know other stats I like about him man nine rebounds come on man nine rebounds he is the fact that we have a guard who goes in there and gets nine rebounds I love what I see buob Caron eight assists so he’s shown that he has that vision and how he can get other people involved definely be a playmaker one still one block I mean Bob Carson man like I said um definitely intrig to see what he can do the rest of the summer league and where he slots as far as playing time in a regular season but I think that if he has a strong show in the summer league and in training camp man he’s definitely gonna um set a mark for what his potential can be in a Wizards Jersey looking at the two guard Johnny Davis now Johnny Davis um not bad but I think we all expect a little more because we know that this very well could be his last time on the Wizards as far as summer league man um he definitely needs to shine and because again if you look at the trend with the moves made this offseason um wood Dawkins there’s no loyalty with the Tommy guys man so they’ve got a shine for them to be long-term pieces if they don’t want to be trade pieces that is um so look at that Johnny Davis 12 points but um he shot fir for 11 from the field one for four from three uh six rebounds one assist and was plus seven and plus minus so Johnny not a bad showing I mean 27 minutes played um but I think it all goes back to he was T overall pick and you know do we expect a little more yes but it it wasn’t bad he did it seemed like he had a little more speed to him you know me seeing he was a little more nibble on his feet but you know he has three more games to really impress will Dawkin company and Brian ke company man if he wants to be a longterm piece in Washington man because man as you guys know man there’s a lot of moving pieces off season man will Dogers is cooking and there’s a lot of roster turnover and like you said you know it behooves him to figure it out but I’m hoping I hope that Johnny can figure it out man like I said not a bad showing all right again two small for Justin champen he scored 18 points he was did his thing night eight for 10 for the field one for three from three four rebounds five assists so and plus 20 and plus and minus Justin champeny man would again we know he can be that score on the wing man he played good basketball last year um switching between Cal City go go and the washing wizard so he’s one of these guys man where I’m very intrigued to see what he uh what his ceiling can be I mean he’s a nice young player that we don’t talk enough about um at the four Eugene amarie in 24 minutes played he had eight points they did shoot one for nine for the field one for two from three um five rebounds two assists but four steals so that is one thing to look at he’s very active in the defensive end he’s a hard nose player I think every team is kind of like a Draymond Green every team needs a Eugene and Mar a guy a tough you know hardn guy who’s willing to die for lose balls you know he does all of the tough stats that aren’t recorded so um overall you know not a bad performance um from Eugene we know what he is a hardnose player all right let’s get into the start of the show man look Alex SAR number two overall pick now let’s start by saying he is very raw now you know that he outside of B kabali he’s the one player that has star pill and we know that the potential is through the roof now it did take him a little while to kind of get started tonight but uh 32 minutes played he got 12 points uh four for 12 from the field two for five from three that’s side step three Lord I’m trying to tell you man did y’all see that I mean you know the fact that he can stretch the floor man I’m loving it already um looking at five rebounds now obviously no not that is Eugene seven rebounds my bad seven rebounds so you definitely want to see his rebound numbers go up but seven rebounds is not bad as far as this game but overall the only knock against him or one of the few knocks against him coming out of draft was rebounding and that’s I think seven rebounds was definitely a good performance four assists so again showed some kind of vision as far as uh with his size of 7even foot one and four blocks you see the rim protection uh they did an interview with Will Dawkins tonight um uh Doris Burke and then and one thing they said that will Dawkin said was um his defense is gonna be the first part of his game is going to shine you know his offense is going to take a little bit of time but and I agree with that if you look at the rim protection potential with alexar I mean for Stills you see his potential as rim protector man uh so overall the St five looked decent now let’s get into the bench real quick uh Butler Jr 12 minutes played he has seven minutes or seven points uh he shot three for six from the field one for two from three and three rebounds so I do like him as a prospect obviously you know he’s definitely going to be on the Gog go but you know he definitely did not have a bad game uh Jules Bernard another Gog go guy that I really like 14 minutes he shot three for six for the field two for three from three uh for eight points uh kesan George the 24th overall pick man I’m saying he looks good now he had his struggles tonight obviously with a shot but I think I’m not alarmed I’m not not panicking at all it’s the first Summer League game and I think I feel like you definitely see the scoring potenti with him at his two guard or in the wing man at his size man I mean you’re looking at it uh shot three for from the field one for five from three so uh you definitely had struggle with a shot at times um but his shot got better as time went on and you saw him make a couple drives so and he was plus eight and plus minus so overall first Summer League game I’m not alarmed I think it was a definitely not a bad performance at all and you definitely see the potential with keishan George and finally um Funk the forward um he he played 11 minutes shooting one for six from the field one for five from three for three points so obviously you know this is a showcase for him trying to find a home whether it’s here in DC or it is somewhere else and my bad is a correction the final score is 94 to 88 not 86 um ESPN took a little bit to update my bad um so but getting back into it real quick overall not a bad performance we get the dub you the first time out you see the potential with these three first round picks we have man alexar he’s definitely very raw but you see the potential you see the versatility you know look at bub Caron bu Caron if you again if you are not excited about bub Caron the be more product Man in the Wizard Jersey you should be because he is definitely the future in my opinion you I love what I saw and again I get it’s only one game but I I I’d love the makeup as him as a player man you know out the gate hitting the three-pointer you you love his shot you love his energy and looking at um was it uh Kean George man 22 minutes played but you see the PO with him being a score he’s definitely a a Score first minded guy man and he defensively has some effort man then one knock against him was his you know consistent defensive presence I felt like he did you know at times you know he showed some effort on the defensive end so overall you know looking at the prospects down you know obviously Jules Bernard and Justin champeny are two guys I really like is Def uh death guys that can slide between theeg go into the Wizards I I love both of them as players and Johnny Davis not bad not bad but obviously again 10th overall pick in his draft class you definitely expect more and I think that a lot of us agree that this is look he’s fighting for his Wizards Survivor right now that he’s got to show something he’s got to show something because he very well could be on his way out but I’m holding that hope that he can that he can figure it out man like I said but time is getting short because again there’s a new sheriff of town in the front office in Will Dawkins and he’s not playing around he is going to turn his roster over man he’s going to take a slow approach to it and like I said I I love his answer um with his interview with Doris Burg man like I said um saying all the right things he’s definitely an analytical mind you know he’s I have high marks on W Dawkins as a general manager Man compared to the last two which really I mean you can admit that the bar is not too high but I mean obviously you know will daas is definitely going to do his thing so overall again the watch W has beat the Atlanta Hawks 94 to 88 that is in the first summer league matchup so we’re gonna get into tus Jones the Clippers are interested in a signing trade so what could it take what could we get in return for T Jones we’re gonna talk about that next but before we do tonight’s episode is brought to you by eBay Motors so passion drive and patience the formula for winning

Network your team every single day all right let’s get back into a TI Jones now there is a report out there that the LA Clippers have interest in tus Jones via sign in trade so qu you know the question is what could we expect in return now like I said um lot of roster turn around right now um mean I’m looking at ESPN right now at the dep chart and even with the addition of sadik bay we’re going to take a look at the dep chart as far as where can we add a player now looking at picks the fact that the Clippers don’t own a first round or second round pick to 2030 which I think the only reason I think they’re hesitant is because if you look at Paul George leaving I think that the writing on the wall within the next three years they’re going to start a rebuild you know kawhai you know already know that he’s always hurt you know do they have the star power to to put beside him for them be a threat in the Western Conference I don’t think so the western conference is a monster and I think that with the departure of Paul George maybe they’re hesitant to move on from the 2030 move or the draft pick that is uh so you know I think it’s good news right now now as far as getting value for tus Jones you want to get value for tus Jones because looking at the christop porzingis trade sending him to the Celtics um you want to see some kind of return for that you know and last year when we had to offer of four second round picks which if you guys don’t already know we proba owned most of the NBA’s second round picks which is you know is a good thing obviously we have a front office is going to prioritize finding talent in the second round and then we can use a lot of these picks to you know move back into the lottery acquire Talent you know Etc um so but let’s take a look at the uh depth chart where can we add a player because like I said we’re interested in Evan forier so um and that’s another thing about the point guard position you know with tyus Jones on his way out who do they start a point guard a lot of us presume that it was Jordan po but a lot of the death charts and lineups I’ve seen lately through ESPN and other networks um they had Malcolm brogon as a starting point guard with with Jordan P at the two guard and um bow is actually coming off the bench as a six man Kyle kma at the three Alexa at the four Eon Val at the five now I get it we all know that Jordan P to be at his finest needs the ball in his hands so that’s why I thought that you know he definitely is the guy to be the starting point guard of the future but it could possibly be a situation where you could see malcol Brockton start at at point guard till a move is made at the deadline or earlier and then you flip Jordan p back to this uh to uh starting point guard because if you look at the fact that Malcolm Brockton makes 22.5 million you they want to showcase him so you very well could see him start the season as a starting point guard just because of the the price tag and the fact that they want to flip him because he does he inspiring contract so they’re G to try to flip him and at 225 you know he projected to either be you know a starting point guard on the team that needs one do the injury or a six-man for a team that needs that one piece that ends an aspiring contract so you know 225 is a reason why you very well could see him start but I think the long term you know once you move on from Malcolm Brockton Jordan p is going to be the starting point guard because I mean a lot of rosters turn around like I said bow I I definitely see him long term at the two and then if you see you know when you if or when you see Kyle kman get moved bow to me is a long-term small forward but a lot of possibilities so look at getting back to T Jones in Sig of trade you know right now there’s still a lot of moves to be made but there’s not a lot of players that I would necessarily want from um the Clippers to be honest with you I mean I’mma pull up their death chart real quick too but I mean like I said the picks you could try to get a 2030 I don’t think you’re going to get a 203 first because of the fact that eventually they’re going to try to to rebuild because the writing is on the wall with what’s going on with kawh Leonard and you know the departure of Paul George but let me pull up the death chart real quick and what players would it possibly want I mean James hard ain’t coming here Russ ain’t coming here I don’t see Kevin Porter Jr come coming here Terence man’s intriguing but you know I don’t see a lot of guys unless they’re expiring deals and even then I just don’t see a fit anybody on the team that would you know would help either with trade value or a depth piece or a mentor piece um Mo Boma maybe but you know the center position is pretty much locked down so yeah I mean maybe you make a move for a PJ Tucker just because of him being a veteran but you know right now I don’t see maybe outside of picks that’s and and like I said they don’t have them to 2030 so it’s going to be intriguing to see what kind of package they pull off for a signing trade with T Jones it could very well could be a three team trade so it’s gonna be definitely gonna be compelling but again just the fact that you have teams that are interested of you know acquiring tus Jones in the signing trade is good news for the Washington Wizards because you can get something you get something of value back for tus Jones instead of letting him walk for nothing and shine a whole new light on the KP trade in my my opinion all right next up on the agenda the Wizards are interested in signing Evan 48 per Mark Stein quote unquote would naturally hold a pill as a potential mentor to countrymen fellow countrymen to uh to B kabali and Alex SAR so um what do you guys definitely comment below let me know what you think but where would he fit you know what I mean like and like I said there’s a lot of moving pieces a lot of moving pieces with the Washington Wizards but I don’t see him as a guy honestly that was going to play a lot and you got to get to a certain point where you know it’s got you know you got to prioritize minutes for the young guys in my opinion um because then you know again if you look at the roster you know we got the vets and Kyle kma Jordan P you valat chunis and these are guys that you know initially gonna play minutes especially you know jonis is gonna start Jordan p is gonna start and K is gonna start but looking at where could he slot in I mean like you said right now mol Brogden could started the uh point guard but I mean on looking at the second unit you know the fact that you know he plays the two in in small ball Wing you know Patrick Bowman Jr potentially bow in the second unit Cory kisser you got ran Holmes so like I said you could add him on a very very very cheap deal and really look at it kind of like an Anthony Gil move you know a mentor a guy that you know barring injuries he can’t come in and play some meaningful basketball you can definitely you know he can still play at a high level at the stages in his career but being a mentor like I said you know um he was one of the first Frenchmen who came into the NBA so he knows the intrical parts of the NBA as far as making that transition for France you know not only the the cultural barrier but you know the fact that L was barrier you know like I said you know bow has gotten really good in English you know because I remember last year you know we got a lot of media from FR you know French media so it’s been that that transition so I think that having a French player like forier could definitely help Bali and alexar as far as making that transition having a guy who knows what you know how it is to make that transition from France to United States because we all know look it’s a big cultural difference from the United States and France man so you know not only just food but just you know so many different things help him acclimate the being DEC so I think it would be a good move as far as a mentor move now he’s obviously a guy who can still play but he’s not you know if you look at the writing on the wall as far as you know looking at the D chart we didn’t talk about the you know Kean George where he’s gonna play could he start with the go go very well could um bu kingon I see him as definitely starting a point guard so we’re going to have a nice second unit too in my opinion and this team obviously we’re not going to win more than 25 to me the Silling sty games but you know these veteran guys I think that if they play somewhat Clos to what they played last year because let’s be real like we’re gonna get into over and unders and expectations for next year we got plenty of time for that but like I said you know as far as Jordan p and Kyle kman you’re G to see them play at a high level this year I think Jordan P’s gonna come in here with a chip on the shoulder he’s gonna come starting out this season with fire and and you look at the potential with Kyle kma on the wing he could potentially definitely average close to 25 points my opinion because this last year at the 4 position he averaged 22 so they’re going to give him a lot of autonomy man because the fact of the matter is Alex star is very raw J valunas is not going to be a focal point of offense and you know belac obali or whoever starts um you know he’s still you know his offense is still you know in the making so like I said there’s a lot of a lot of turnar around with this roster like I said we get you know we got sadik Bay who’s he’s not gonna play You’re we’ll be lucky if CID Bay plays maybe a quarter the season it’s fine you know he’s got a really really really Team friendly contract and we can take our time with him 25 years old he has a lot of potential so we can take our time with him but like I said there’s a lot of dominoes that could potentially still fall from now to training camp so definitely tune in because um you very well could still see kma move even though I think he’s here at least to the deadline and he very well could be here to the rest of his contract because again his contract is not hurting anything um you know valun thean you know so there’s a lot of possibilities but let’s get into comments like we always do like I said I wanted it to go live for the first SU League game because I know a lot of us include myself I’m very very excited with this new season as far as the new era in Wizards basketball but before we do tonight’s episode is brought to you by better help so again guys I am big catalst for you know asking for help talking to somebody because you do not want to keep whatever’s bothering you inside because it would quickly deteriorate so like I said I I think that you know if you look at counseling it was a time when it was considered taboo you know people would make it seem like it’s a wrong thing to talk to the counselor those time’s over man man there’s a lot of services out there like better help that are here to to help you out if you need the help so look if you’re thinking about starting therapy give better help a trial because look it’s entirely online designed to be convenient flexible and suited to your schedule which are the main reasons why a lot of people don’t get into counseling you know does it Su to your schedule is it

is 12 o’clock man on Friday night so again I humbly appreciate you guys taking time out of your Friday night just rock with me man and then to celebrate this you know look I get it as summer league man but I’m very very excited man so let’s get into it man uh we missed locked on law tonight he said he had to catch the show tomorrows but he has to be up to five so look man got it you definitely definitely get your rest man but we definitely definitely missed you but um we will see you on the flip the sun says Johnny Davis first five minutes one turnover turnover on inbound pass air ball three missed layup loud offensive put back because he didn’t box out wow can’t blame the coaches on this look the the the proof is in the pudding as they say man like he’s got to perform he’s got three more games he’s got to perform like I said you know the fact that they traded Denny tells you that there is no loyalty to the to um the Tommy Shepard picks man you know Johnny Davis of of all of them whether ruy whether it’s kissper or Denny you know Johnny Davis is that guy where you got to believe that there’s no loyalty and and the Rope is getting shorter and shorter so he’s got to show you he’s got to show something man because the fact of the matter if you look you know I already brought it up you know shamp Penny and Jules Berard you know last year with the limited action with the Wizards and just the performance tonight you see that there’s better players and these are guys who they weren’t 10th overall picks these are the guys that played on the goo so nothing you know I want to see Johnny Thrive whether it’s with the Wizards or somewhere else I never want to see anybody in you know struggle but the fact of the matter is TI the world pick you know I I’m not W to call somebody a bus but I think that we missed this pick and I think that you know even if somehow drops a 60 piece I don’t see him being part of the future man and I definitely definitely wish him well wherever he goes man we we’ll see man we don’t know what the vision is from the front office as far as Johnny Davis but like I said you know as far as the previous regimes draft picks and Denny and ruy and Corey kissper two already gone you know one under Shepard and one under Dawkins but you know the fact of the matter Cory kissper got Trad interest and Johnny Davis I don’t see him being secured man because you have so much young talent that can potentially use those minutes man and you maybe you keep him to be a piece on the go- go but he he’s still going to be synonymous with his draft position desan also said besides Johnny Davis cheers T night and every other Wiz game this upcoming season we appreciate you at lock on Wizards man appreciate you bro definitely appreciate you man again appreciate you guys taking the time out of your Friday night man because my bourbon has been staring at me saying man hurry up hurry but I wanted to get out here and chat out with you guys and celebrate because this was a good night lot of news as far as you know tus Jones and Evan for8 but you know looking at this game you see the potential with how young because the one thing looking at with this young roster you know they’re all teenagers so you you know the timeline you know what I mean they’re teenagers man it’s going to take a while for them to properly develop and we have nothing but time and and I think that sheds a little more clarity for a lot of people that don’t understand the sadik bay move or the lack of moving Kyle kumma or you know these veterans they play a part and you know like I said I’m a guy that thought you know eventually we get to a youth movement I’m I’m a big cist about that but then on the flip side I I try to understand moves man you know and I understand what the is Will Dawkins so but again appreciate you bro um B Trappin says Johnny man it’s s to see but his career is done year three in summer league and still can’t do anything against anyone he had a little more speed but I’m with you he’s not a guy who’s gonna blow past anybody and we know what he is he’s a guy who’s not gonna be starting in NBA you know he maybe he grows into a a role player but you I think that you know it takes work man but he’s again he’s always like kwami brown and and and it’s different because Brown was the first overall pick but I guess the point is col Brown’s always going to be Sous with his draft position no matter what he does he’s going to be synomous with his draft and Johnny Davis he’s going to be synonymous with being a lottery pick that just couldn’t do it man and like I said I don’t know who to blame you know you can blame the organization under Tommy Shepard as far as make trying to make him a point guard and this this and this but at the end of the day he has to capitalize a playing minutes man you know in playing time so um Bullis Nation what’s good he says Gino and Johnny are the worst players in his team um has Johnny even shot a basketball over a break how or he misses so bad in every shot you take hey man I’m with you I mean he is what he is you know what I mean um Gino I get it he doesn’t have the sexiest game you know he’s a guy who’s a hard noos player who’s gonna do all the the little things like Anthony Gil um but he’s you know I think you know you see he’s he’s a low caling how do I say this I mean because I like his I like his fire I like his is just he’s he’s a low-end role player I mean like I said you know he’s a guy who’s hard noos you need every team needs a Eugene M Marine man but you know he’s low he’s got a low ceiling I’m just gonna say that um thean also says SAR passing dribbling and defense legit absolutely had three blocks in the span of two possessions his shot and rebounding just needs to work yeah I think his shot and rebounding are going to get there that’s side step three come on man you see the potential with this shot three-point shot eventually a mid-range shot definitely want to see him play with more with with his back to the basket but his dribbling man he’s got some handles his passing ability his vision you know his defense are definitely legit so I definitely agree with that man Adam Henderson says Davis needs to resign on the two-way contract and just play for goo for like two years as a side show they walk away with it all with a couple bucks on top of his Rook I that is a good point I actually I really agree with that you know Sonu a two-ear I mean I mean two-way and see if you can fix him in goo man but I think that right now he’s holding up a spot for another player man you know at the two guard you know like I said the second unit we don’t know really what the second unit still we don’t know what the start the starting five is going to be because like I said we all assume that Jordan P was gonna be the guy but then the fact that if you look at malol Brock’s price tag of 22.5 million and the fact that he’s an aspiring contract they’re gonna P try to put him at a point guard position to start out the season till he gets moved or at the deadline he and showcase him and because and I and I get it you’re not getting the most out of Jordan um Jordan p in my opinion because we know he’s a player that needs a ball in his hands but you know we have a lot of capabilities so but getting back to Johnny Davis I’m with you you know definitely you know his spot I think that somebody else needs those minutes man you know and that’s just what it is Lawrence L says Johnny’s calling C his defense and his defense tonight has been horrible thank you he’s not even covering his man leading to easy bucket what’s going on with him man I don’t know like I said in confidence you know his confidence a shot but that’s it man you know he’s got three more games see what he can do but I think that they have an option and I and all arol appointed did they’re probably not going to pick up his option you know what I mean so that’s just you know Cory Ker’s got option you know we’ll see I mean I think there’s more of a likelihood they’re going to pick up Cory kisser you know what I mean but um definitely if they want to see him eventually get moved even though you you very well could see them take the denava approach which is resign him to a Team friendly deal and then flip him I see that approach with this front office to get some you know definitely get some value out of him if you don’t see him part of the longterm Cory and if you look at you know the comments made by Den AA um he understands that he wasn’t part of the timeline now you know obviously he was felt blind said it but you know he wasn’t part of the timeline and you get it with the ages of these draft picks they’re all teenagers so I get it to a certain degree man I definitely definitely get it man um let’s see bullet Nation says Brandon I know it’ll be late when you start the live but we may need a rant on Gino and Johnny both a ball ha hogers Who air ball and turn the ball over every time they touch you know the writing’s on the wall like I said yene he’s a tough hardn guy but you know he’s just he is what he is low low selling type of role player man like he’s a hardn guy um and that’s just what it is but Johnny Davis this is it yeah I don’t expect them to pick up as option I don’t I don’t see I and as much as I want to see a young man succeed they shouldn’t I mean the writings on the wall 10th overall pick you know you if you get drafted at 10th overall regardless if your team that is a contending team regardless of your team that’s in the gray where we’ve been in the grve for the last 30 years or you’re a team that is a rebuilding team you when you’re picked at number 10 overall the the the whole Vision has seen you as a potential star if not a high-end role player that is what the whole you know point is at number 10 overall and he just he he just hasn’t he’s not there he’s just he has not lived up to his draft position and then it is what it is um let’s see Ricky Daniel said let’s go bub and Wolverine voice nice like it like it like it um let’s see bendo Trin also said the three rookies all look good tonight bub was a star but George defense was great on Zack tonight Gino and Johnny are awful and ball hog champ also play great yeah champen I love man all three rookies look really good and you could tell the raw but BB if if you call that raw man I mean his potential is to the roof man bub Caron looking at this draft obviously we know that alexar has star potential he’s a future star in my opinion alongside B Kali and you know I had I love the fact that the foundation is Bal and alexar you build on top of that Bub I mean that and like I said the whole dny trade I I get it this is a Hot Topic that still continues to thrive and I was a big fan of Denny loved covering him talking to him when you know while covering the team but you know again they’re looking younger at a different timeline so you know like I said a lot of people didn’t like the moves a lot of people do but I understand the move you know and the fact that you look at bub Carrington you know that that trade is looking better and better because bub Carrington is the future at point guard you know like I said I like that Jordan p is being the future but now if you look at the new timeline you no longer look at him as as that future piece as far as point guard for long term you you expect that eventually they’re gonna try to move on from him definitely try to boost his value trade value and definitely move on for him and at his age man I think eventually we’re gonna be able to so you know the timeline just got it has changed man you know you know if you look at Denny Cory kissper and and Jordan P they were all young pieces that were part of the future but they pushed that timeline back and you know you look at a 23y old that at one point was part of the timeline now push back to 2019 and that shows you where this organization is going because they’re going younger they’re taking this this rebuild is going to take a little bit while man it’s going to take a three you know probably three or four more years but they’re taking a slow approach to develop them right so um vanro Jones Lord you maybe say that on there man I can’t get the game but great hearing these Johnny and marui comments please just let them both walk um yeah I think they’re gone um I think they’re gone yeah I don’t Eugene just because of his high motor as far as and when I say high motor not so much athleticism but the fact that he’s hard-nosed but I you know both of them very well could be on their way out because like I said there’s a high turnaround rate on this roster and there you got a lot of young players that look the priority has to give them you know the priority has to go to them for minutes so a lot of these go- go guys man as much as I like Justin shamp Penney Jules Bernard but you better believe that when it comes to Kean George when it comes to Bob Caron when it comes to obviously alexar Tristan vich BL Kali the priority goes to them for playing time and it should be and then if you got minutes left over outside of the vets and these Rickie five then you give it to these guys man but you know nothing against these go- go guys and like I said there’s nothing wrong with them bouncing back and forth but I think that if you look at where the minutes should go they goes the young guys and the and and definitely the veterans because you want to flip a lot of these veterans but the veterans in the rookie five that’s priority in my opinion so I’m with you on that um Alexander said my God you jeans offensive game so cooked Lord yeah I mean offensively yeah so um shook Biz what’s up man how you doing tonight K is gonna be great I totally agree with that you know look bub is going to be look I don’t want to say star man but man the potential is like you want to say that because you see the potential I mean he’s just he’s a baller man he’s a baller Des say the Rooks Bal out out balling for Franc yeah man like I said when we get into the Olympics right now they’re doing the preg games um but when we get into the Olympic Games I’m going to definitely cover all the Wizards playing for overseas teams so we’re going to definitely follow Team France and Bel kabali and definitely see him evolve and progress through the Olympics man so um I haven’t done the the the pream but I definitely will get once the the real game start I’m definitely going to definitely follow Team France and Olympics man all the teams because obviously Team USA team Nigeria and team Germany because half Nigerian half German but obviously I want to see Team Canada a lot of good team teams is here man um sh Biz again whiz with the dub absolutely yes sir uh video channel Rooks look solid T night I’m with you on that the Rooks look good man they look good shook B said B Scott pop the tequila tonight man I’m not a tequila guy man I I you know Tequila brings me to a whole new place man I’m I’m a bourbon guy but I’m with you on that man I’m G try to get through all the comments we got a lot of comments 150 people in the chat man so definitely appreciate you guys um we’re going to try to wrap it around the 40- minute Mark we are at 34 minutes so um let’s see um van Jones says B please stop it David sucks he’s not a rookie anymore we don’t need to see him I’m with you man look you know I’m you won’t hear me I get it I I don’t expect him on the team I think that you know he definitely definitely needs to be on his way out because again he’s always gonna be snot with that 10th overall pick and he just has not been that guy at the draft pick and he just hasn’t been a Difference Maker in any capacity for us and I think it’s just it’s time to move on and you Poss we see that with um Eugene Emy Also let’s see same thing David Montgomery said gotta go yeah I’m with you man we could have got Jaylen Johnson yeah man I know Jaylen Johnson would have been a really good really good Prospect for us man um so let’s get through the comments man like I said I’m not gonna be able to get to everybody’s man but I will be try to I’m gonna try to do some mailbags in the next couple of week at least two to three of them so I can definitely definitely man uh chop it up with you guys um chef says can you take me higher you’re a trip um Ben said all three rookies look great tonight bub will be a superstar you know since you said it I’m asso it said man I think so too I you know Bub looks good man I mean he if he looks this good and he’s very very raw very young he’s 18 years old this kid is 18 and like I said it’s summer league so you’re not he’s not playing against your your typical NBA roster so I get that but you still see the potential man you still see the potential man um let’s see let’s get through this guys um DC onion my guy said B absolutely Ben said Kean is really poison smooth I love his game man like I said as far as making that trade with the Knicks to acquire him at at 24 I love that move you know Will Dawkins did his thing with his draft in my opinion love what I see uh so I’m gonna try to do three more comments everybody like I said I I want to be able to get the everybodies but I can’t but I’m G try to get to everybody’s man so like I said uh let’s see chook B is gonna make me laugh man said intrigued intrigued intrigued say what your chest P Scott man that is my word you already know U let’s see I’m try to knock out a couple more plops says BB was this close to a triple double yeah man I mean first game out come on now yeah I’m with you on that and then we’re gonna kind of wrap it up on this guys uh DC onion says now next game you add vuk BBJ and buler take the Eugene Funk buler out yeah yeah that’s the thing man because um that’s a question I asked coach uh topper man that um how do you balance the minutes between these young guys who have experience with the rookies and he said look there’s so much talent on this team that you know the minutes are G to be about by the game you know you very well could see Guy play one game and not play the next they’re gonna it’s gonna vary with the summer league so I’m with you on that man um M mat do a couple more uh let’s see uh Alexander says hey Brandon what happen to vous fit yeah kind of what I was saying man um you very well can see Vish next game it just there’s so much young talent and you you could probably look at a scenario where it’s like A and B Team you know the A Team be the night but the one guys you’re gonna see every game is gonna be bub alexar you’re gonna you’re definitely gonna see Kean George now Jules Bernard and shanen I thank you will but players like Eugene you know PBJ you know they’re gonna switch you know in and out with these guys on the towards the end of the bench man and see what they can really do because a lot of these guys are fighting for the you know for a roster spot you know because there a lot of moves that still need to be made so I’m going to do one more like I said man I I really don’t want to miss on anybody’s comments man but uh let’s see ‘s see oh we got a comment right here all right bub p uh point guard the future this is why everyone calls you a pool hter bro you do it yourself these BS takes bro p is a starting point guard can you tell me uh can tell you new fan BR okay um so the reason I say that and I respect your comment I you know definitely definitely respect your take um I’ll say this the reason is you if you look at the move for Den AIA ag23 you would think that at the time you know naturally you think a 23y old would be part of the future in a re a rebuilding team but the timeline has changed and that’s why I say that um Jordan P to me for you know was the point guard of the future but if you look at his age and the fact that they’re prioritizing younger now you know the fact that they got kingon tells you something because everybody we got are teenagers so again you know you may not agree with my take that’s cool like I said I love dialogue I appreciate the fact you even commented and told me your side man so like I said um I’m not sweating even though you call me a weirdo that’s cool too um but I’m gonna go let’s see matter of fact just because of that I’m gonna do a whole new comment thank you for that man U let’s see Des said chill the disrespect thank you thank you thank you U let’s see this is the comment I’m GNA end on this this is the comment I really like um r Leo said Dunkin Donuts Tim Horton or Dairy Queen Lord hmer if I had to choose um my wife would say Crispy Cream but I have to roll with Duncan Donuts so again I’m G call it there like I said I would love to get to everybody’s comment man but I just can’t good but again 156 people man look blessings man I definitely appreciate you guys taking the time out of your Friday night to rock with me and celebrate this man so again definitely definitely appreciate you guys man so I will see you guys on Sunday a matter of fact let’s go ahead and look at the U the Wizards summer league schedule real

Love what I saw today! Sarr did what I expected and Bub got 19 points 🔥🔥
Sarr looking like Wemby-lite
Bub is as you said he was. Wow! Mr Davis certainly hustling and better but, don’t you think he should try Europe? Based on highlights of Sarr’s games in Australia he will improve every game and his offense will come quickly. No comparison in this year’s summer league team and the ones that came before. To me only John Wall’s team was interesting enough to watch every game. High marks for Will Dotson’s and friends building process. GM of the Year? Any new buzz on Kuz being traded? Will inferred that Kuz was important to the team.
Gene O is a very underrated, undersized big. Great work Wiz Kidz.
Gene O is a very underrated, undersized big. Great work Wiz Kidz.
Why are people piling on Geno and Davis? We all know they are not part of the future. Talk about the guys who matter. Carrington played great but pump the breaks, it’s summer league 😂
After the disastrous 1st quarter thanks to JD and Geno the Wiz dominated this game and they did it without 3 quality players in Vuk, Jared Butler and PBJ
Is it time to dump Poole and filler (Holmes, Davis, Baldwin, etc.) for Lavine and a first, do you do it and let Brogdon, Bub, and Jared Butler be the PGs? Levine's contract is almost Beal-like, so the Wiz would be stuck with it for 3 years, and unlikely to take more bad contracts for picks. Don't sign Fournier unless Kispert is traded, and you're hoping to make a pitch for Wemby with the "French Connection."
Bilal is the future. He has to start. If teams want Brogdon, just showcase him enough to show he is healthy, teams know what he can do.
I was impressed with Sarr's passing and ball handling. It's insane on some of the things he could do as a 7 footer. George looked more athletic than the youtube clips I saw, but he needs time in the G-League.
Man Johnny Davis. 3rd year in the league a still looks like a summer league level player
LOVE WHAT I SAW! WE GOT US SOME TALENT BABY!
Dawkins really is brilliant. After the draft he mentioned that Bub plays just as well off ball as he does on ball.
Poole and Bub in the backcourt as has been reported is going to be crazy.
Bub was fantastic! Sarr great too! Those depth charts aren't accurate. It's already been reported that Poole and Bub are being prioritized as the backcourt. According to Dawkins Bub plays off ball as good as he does on ball so Poole's at the 1 Bub at the 2 and they're good.
The roster has 16 players so Evan Fournier won't be coming. Marc Stein is always wrong.
Brandon you're a good guy but you crack me up.
Last season the Wizards were proud that they were #1 in pace and BK says that will be important this season toi. Knowing this, you think they'll start 31 yr old, injured Brogdan over 25 yr old Poole?
😅
Its already been reported that Poole and Bub are being prioritized as the backcourt which is why Tyus won't be back.
Dawkins says Bub plays off ball just as good as he does on ball so they got someone who can play WITH Poole.
With Bub hitting thise mid range jumpers he likes and Poole putting pressure on the rim and both can hit the 3!
Top backcourt in the league!
Hey Brandon, You're looking at the depth charts online and they're wrong.
They say Brogdan starts at PG and Poole at SG and they have Bub coming off the bench.
Think about this. The Wizards were #1 in pace last year. They want that to continue. Right?!
Which backcourt supports a faster pace Brogdan and Poole or Poole and Bub.
It's already been reported that Poole and Bub will be the backcourt.
Got a unicorn in Sarr.
Bub might be the best G in this draft behind Reed.
That game was great, sarr is gonna be way better than Mobley. Evan too stiff, I think a mix of Mobley and wemby but not as good as wemby obviously. But I truly believe wemby is a 10/10 and sarr is a 9/10. Bub was amazing too he reminds me of a mix of dearon fox and john wall, but a better shooter and not as good as them in other stuff like defense and attacking the rim but he’s 18 so he will get stronger and get better at both. Can’t wait for this!
Bub had a triple double in his college debut and almost had one in summer league nba debut😂😂😂💪🏾💪🏾
Johnny Davis needs to be cut, he’s a waste of space. I am so disappointed… idk how he tricked Tommy Sheppard into using a lottery pick on his bum ah
If Keyshawn can improve his ball handling he will be very very valuable as a role player. He has real potential as 3-D
Sign n trades that are done with free agents will net you a 2nd rd pick. Demar DeRozan & Klay i believe only netted a couple of 2nd's and a trade exception
As much as I hated getting rid of Deni, it gave us a clearer roadmap on our roster. You see how these guys are going to play off each other’s strengths and weaknesses. Long term Deni and Bilal at the 2-3 wasn’t a fit or getting us where we needed.
The Clippers would probably give the Wizards Bones Hyland and a 2nd for Tyus Jones.
I don't find Evan Fornier to be a high character guy that the Wizards need after chocking Dennis Shroder in game.
Brandon, you are smooth with the hatters…We respect you for that man!!! Just keep it rockin' and don't sweat it.
Bro you're soooo nice 😂😂 Johnny and Geno are complete garbage 🗑️🗑️🗑️ I'm glad Will Dawkins saw their performance in person
Geno is a 27 year old washed football player trying to play basketball. It was terrible to watch
Johnny is a slow guard that throws bricks and air balls. A guard with no handle and can't create space in year 3 against g-league talent. When he waved off Sarr and air balled that three at the end almost gave me an aneurysm
We do this!
Sarr Bub and George got NBA skill sets that's gonna be a problem for the opps
Bub gonna be like Russ Westbrook in the league a taller one 💯
GO WIZ
Bub for deni wow what a steal
