The Wizards May Have Secured A DEFENSIVE MONSTER In Jamir Watkins…

The Wizards May Have Secured A DEFENSIVE MONSTER In Jamir Watkins…

Good evening, Wizards Nation. I figured I should go live before the game starts at 3:30. You know, we’re playing the Knicks today at 3:30 is the last game of the summer league. Let’s get this thing over with injuryfree. Um, but yeah, man, I figure I should go live because there’s this one dude who’s been catching I feel like most of our attention. Um, and it’s regarding his defense, it is Jir Watkins. Is my mic working? I don’t even know. I haven’t gone on live in a while. Um, but yeah, man. Jir Watkins like this is a guy who’s not producing as much offensively and, you know, coming out of, you know, Florida like was that wasn’t really like his his thing yet. But defensively, he is raising eyebrows. He recently recorded eight steals, a summer league record. Eight steals, ladies and gentlemen. Five rebounds. I believe he had three blocks as well. 11 stocks. Held VJ strapped down VJ Edgecomb. And it just has me thinking like, huh, we dropped him with pick number 43 in the second round and what can he do with us? I mean, not what can he do with us because like right now he’s in a two-way contract with us, but like what? Obviously, it’s just summer league. We don’t want to take it into full account, but you see flashes of defensive brilliance with him. if he can just raise that three-point percentage cuz as of right now in summer league he is not doing that well uh honestly in that aspect um [ __ ] nobody’s joined yet they’re like this guy um because I’ve read a stat here in a summer league Jamir Watkins has been he’s a well defensively he’s averaging 3.5 steals more impressive walking Stephen than any other player on the team this summer. So, oh yeah, h sorry. Yeah, I can see that. I can see that. I can see that. Brian, uh and the summer league is averaging 3.5 steals, one blocks per game, and four games played, coming up with no fewer than two takeaways in any of these outings. Um this article has says that um from Wizaval saying that he had seven steals, but it looks like online they’re saying he had eight steals against the game against uh in the 76ers when he recorded eight steals being a summer league record. But there was a stat here saying how much he Yeah, he is currently 11 of 39 from the field though offensively and three of 21 from beyond the ark. Three of 21. Now again, this is just summer league and it’s only a short stint. This isn’t like the entire indicative of like who he’s going to be and project to be in the NBA, but I’m just like if he can get that three-point percentage to 35 36, we got something in him defensively. I’m I’m at the point where him I’m just like that’s not There’s people comparing him to Lou Dort. Lud Door is 6’4 with a 68 wingspan. Jir Watkins is they’re saying 6’5. Bleacher Report says 67. I think he’s 66. 66 with a 611 wingspan. I’m not saying Jir is going to be better than Lud Door. Of course not. Much respect to Lou Dort. Much respect to Lou Dort. Lou Dor was an integral piece and a historically great defensive team with the OKC championship team. So I the thing about that comparison that I keep seeing at initially I was just like nah le let’s just freaking calm down you know let’s not buy too much stock into the summer league performance but now I’m just like h it just has me thinking and of course yeah of course yeah Ludor can shoot. Yeah I’m talking about defensively though defensively. Yeah, Lou Dort I believe he shot was it 40% this year? I think he shot he shot 40% for the three this year. Hold on. 41. Yeah, I saw that. 41 on damn near six attempts per game. So yeah, but I’m talking about defensively though. Um, but look, let’s read this article over here real quick. This is from Bleacher Report, like his scouting report when he first got out. In college in Florida, 42% from the field and 32% from the three. Like I said, just get it to 35 to 35. His playmaking ability, in my opinion, is a little underrated. I’m not saying he’s going to be the primary second second ball, secondary ball handler in a in a lineup because I don’t No, his rebounding is solid as well. It’s just the shooting. Just stand there, catch and shoot threes. Just stand there. You know, have defenses respect you. And then we got something with him. Never mind the age. He’s 24 years old. I I’m not worried about that. He’s in a two-way deal as of right now with the way things are going. He could be promoted within a season. But, you know, I’m just thinking, man, like holy like like that trade because remember, we got this pick by trading back with the Will Riley trade going back from the 21. We got two second round picks. Two future second round picks, sorry. And Jir Watkins. That trade is looking like money right now. It’s looking like money. Um, but yeah, man. Like I don’t know, man. You you you guys let me know what you guys think. Like in my opinion, I’m just like I’m not I’m not I keep saying this so I don’t want to freaking buy too much stock in this, but I don’t know. it it I’m I want to say I’m reassessing like how can I say this? I’m not going to the point where I’m just like I got to reassess my total evaluation on him or my initial evaluation on him when we first drafted him because it’s only been a couple games of summer league. But if he continues this performance onto the regular season or even preseason in training camp, especially defensively, and he’s shown, I’m at the point right now where I’m just like, dude, just give him a standard contract. [ __ ] it. Just give him a standard contract. He’s 24 years old. What is he going to do in the G- League? Like, he already, you know, give him a standard contract. Let’s let’s make sure we reach 15 and let’s go from there. But like d I did not I mean you would think a dude who’s 24 years old his game is already seasoned enough that he’s able to play in his rookie year in the NBA and he’s showing that so far. That’s what I’m thinking right now with Jir Watkins. Man listen right here like you know like like I said 6’5 right here in the previous website it said 67. I think he’s 66. He doesn’t look like he’s 6’4. Like Lou Dort is 6’4 with a 68 wingspan. 66 611 wingspan. Average 18 points 18.4 points per game. Uh 5.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.5 blocks, 1.2 steals. Like I said earlier from the field and 32 from the three. They haven’t compared to Caris Levert here. The thing about Jir that I keep seeing like he he relies too much on his strength, but he has that build. He has that bulk. Watkins is more Oh, yeah. Definitely, definitely. Watkins is definitely more ready than AJ Johnson. I mean, he should be. AJ the [ __ ] AJ’s about to be 20 or he’s already 20. Jir’s 24. But yeah, I I definitely agree with you right there, Rich. Um, but you know, they’re saying, you know, uh, similarities to Caris Levert D, strengths, physical tools, secondary playmaking. Uh, like I was thinking, I don’t like I don’t think he’ll ever beat a secondary ball handler. I don’t playmaking, but like but at least he’ll have some playmaking abilities. Uh, defensive versatility. Yeah, I he can guard one, two, three, maybe even some small ball four. Scouts had an easier time picturing Watkins as a strong NBA defender after watching him strip ball handlers and blow up plays from the off the ball during May’s combine scrimmages. Watkins can def def defend multiple positions. And on the other end of the court, he uses his physicality to blow up through contact at the rim. Weaknesses, shooting consistency. This is, you know, and reliance on strength. Yeah, that’s one thing I I noticed definitely in summer league, his reliance on strength. Uh defensive consistency. Um I think he I think Watkins is also self-aware. I think he knows that if he’s going to stick in the NBA, it’s going to be because of his defense. I think the defensive consistency, that’s not my that’s the least of my words. As a matter of fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is like already eradicated within his mind. He knows that’s the only reason why he’s getting these minutes, too. Like he if he’s ever going to stick in the NBA, it’s because of his defense and obviously uh being a 3 and D player. Um like yeah, that’s be his primary concern. like as soon as he stepped on the court, he didn’t even do task to guard the toughest opponent. Like no, I’m not. Yeah. The defensive consistency, you know, it’s a whole like in in college like going from a guy who’s going to averaging 18.4 points per game, that offensive workload is going to be taken off his back. Like now his thing is just defense, you know, he does not have to worry about scoring like no that that’s the least of my worries right now with his defensive consistency. Um, as as much of a luxury as it has been to be a small forward who uses size and strength at the rim, Watkins often leans into his strength too much. Definitely noticed that summer league. It will benefit him at the NBA level to continue building up that secondary playmaking resume he has begun to display, man. Um, yeah, man. I saw somebody, I think it was on Twitter, say that Watkins could not compete, but Watkins could take minutes away from Kabali. And in my head, I’m just like that. I think that’s a little bit I think we’re going too far with that one. I think we’re going way a little bit too far cuz first, as of right now, Watkins is in a two-way contract. Let’s Let’s go step by step, baby steps. Let’s go first, you know, produce in training camp and in preeason. force the hand of the coaches, force them to give you that, you know, just give them a standard deal, give you the roster, inseason promotion, and then like, but what I’m thinking is in the second half of the season after the trade deadline, dudes like AJ Johnson, dudes like now I’m throwing in Jir Watkins, I can definitely see them get big, not Yeah. 20 to 25 minutes a game. I wouldn’t be surprised if veterans on our roster they’re showcased and then hopefully I mean I don’t know whatever we can get from them in a trade deadline guys like McCullum guys like you know I don’t know about Middleton uh Smart even though Smart there is a chance that he’s traded beforehand but the second half of the season it’s going to be you know it’s going to be dudes if you’re 25 or over you’re cooked. You’re not going to be in the rotation at all. Like you second half of the season, we might go 76ers style tanking if we’re winning in the first half of the season. Not even winning, but like we have some sort of, you know, we won a certain amount of games that’s not, you know, enticing for our draft lottery odds. But man, Jir freaking Watkins. Yeah, completely agree. Completely agree in all three of them. Actually, in all three of them, not just Jir. I’m You see, obviously with Trey, you see it with Trey. Obviously with Will Raleigh, you see the flashes. Holy obviously Will Riley’s supremely raw, but you see the flashes. And then with Jir, like Trey’s on offense with all those complete flashes that we that that you know that we expected him to see and it’s nice to see it. three-level score with Jir is just completely on defense like you know Trey’s the offensive hub Jir’s the defensive hub like hey man this rookie class what I mean whatever we play at 3:30 against the Knicks it’s the last game in the summer league but like whatever happens then like I’m at the point where I’m just like yo check summer league was a success most importantly because we we we left you know without a major injury I know Trey Johnson and Will Riley had you know, small nagging injuries, but that’s the most important thing. You saw flashes and that’s all that matters. No, that’s all that matters. Now, if these guys are the real deal, they’ll translate it onto the preseason training camp, but then obviously the regular season. Um, you know, because there’s been a lot of dudes in summer league who bled out, but then come push the shove. They don’t show up when it matters the most when it comes in the regular season, all that stuff. But I’m with these three dudes, the reason why I’m not that worried about that at all is because, well, they’re all wired differently. They’re all three guys who are supremely competitive. They want to be great, you know, and if if you’re not like that, if you’re not wired like that mentally, well Dawkins has no interest in you. So these three dudes want to be great. They want to contribute. No, they they want to have a successful NBA career. They care about basketball. The days of Nick Young are over. The days of Jal McGee, those are those are far far away. This is a new era. We got dudes who are hungry, young dudes. Kudos to Will Dawkins. He again, this draft class is super early to judge obviously, but the signs are pointing in the right direction. Put this article up. This one’s from uh Greg Finnberg. Highly touted dude, much respected. I respect the [ __ ] out of him. Um, I pulled it up because mainly because of his, you know, two-way deal. Two-way deal. That means that he, uh, uh, Jir Watkins can’t play as of right now more than 50 games in the regular season. 50 limit, 50 games is his cap. Uh, but that doesn’t mean that that could stop them from giving him an in-season promotion or a promotion, giving him to the standard contract. And if that’s the case, then obviously he can play whenever the hell he wants, whenever Coach Keef allows him to. Um, same thing, like I said, 43% from the field, 32% from the three. D Walkkins hang his hat on defensive end often picking up from 94 feet to disrupt opposing guards. Love to see that. Um, also like I feel like many people have brought this up, but like you know Watkins with uh Marcus Smart, huh? Jir Watkins with Marcus Smart. Marcus Smart leading the way with Jir. That’s one thing I’m just like we are building a team that and Yeah. Yeah. Defensive identity like defense comes first. Even when dudes like Trey Johnson being there who’s not known for his defense, even when dudes who defenses are still developing like Bub Carrington’s defense, you know, we got two dudes in the starting five who are just primarily known for their defense and Balak Kabali and Alex Sar and then we’re just you see in every single interview clip Will Dawkins just dogging on Trey Johnson is saying, “Bro, you got to fix your defense, bro. You ain’t [ __ ] right now. That defense must must change.” And you saw it. Trey Johnson like he’s taking it seriously in summer league. He’s going over screens. I’m loving this right now. But if you can keep Marcus Smart, just keep him. I I I still feel like even if we do keep him, I mean, sorry. Yeah. Even if we keep him, we’re going to trade him in a trade deadline. Or if we trade him now, like it’s another thing like you I I just want his presence to be felt. I want it to be to permeate around at least in training camp, you know, just at least in training camp, instill those defensive principles in these young bucks. You have to instill it at a young age. Feeling like I’m talking like a parent. But like with with kids, I mean, I I don’t have a kid, but got I got I got a freaking dog and a fat ass cat. I got them when they were young. You train them when they’re young so that they know this is right, this is wrong. Oh [ __ ] I’m comparing our rookies to dogs and cats. No, not like that. But I’m like, you know, like you got to you got to instill this identity early on. Marcus Mark can could be a huge boost to that. The only thing I think about is Marcus M is like he’s gonna he’s gonna get the minutes. Like people are going to be pissed off. Like if Marcus Mar stays, he’s going to take AJ Johnson’s minutes. And you know, in my opinion, like AJ Johnson supremely raw. I I think people right now are just a little bit too overhyped on him. I like AJ Johnson, but I predict that he’s going to play more in the second half of the season. The first half of the season, especially Marcus Mart’s here, I think AJ’s not going to see the court as much. He’s not. everyone know and this is coming from a AJ Johnson support. I like AJ Johnson. I’m not one of those dudes who think that AJ Johnson’s a allstar or superstar like some people think like I to each their own. Hopefully he can be that. Obviously I’m going to root for anybody who’s you know wearing the Wizards jersey but let’s go step by step first with with AJ Johnson. But realistically speaking, Smart’s going to get the backup PG minutes. With Walkin signed to a two-e deal, it’s possible Vuvich returns to the Washington on a standard contract, although that could take the Wizards to 17 standard contracts. We got some moves to make. Yeah, Malachi Brown, uh, Wesley, bro. Wave them. Wait. I mean, not I’m I’m not one for somebody to lose their job, but like they’re going to get paid anyways. But like still, you know, I’m at that point where I’m just like I I I Let me check Twitter before we got, you know, any moves dropped while we here freaking rambling on YouTube. Nothing really happened. We’re playing at 3:30. That’s the only thing that, you know, people are talking about. Uh, no. Gotta get Smart Middleton out of here. Uh, I think Middleton’s gonna stay. Veteran presence. Smart. I think Smarts I I keep thinking to myself, I think Smart’s going to be because you got to put yourself in his shoes like he this is his contract year to get his last big payday before he retires. He’s going to want to play. He’s gonna want to win when I don’t know. I don’t know. I think Smart might go. Might. You already saw the reports, but might be closer to training camp. Maybe in the beginning of the season. I don’t know. But yeah, man. I want to see these dudes play, man. Jir, I want to see Jir play. Hopefully the rest of this off season, he’s just locked in the gym working on his three-point. That’s all we need from him, bro. Just stay there at the corner three. Shoot hundreds of them on a daily basis. You shot 32% from the three at Florida. Nah, that’s not going to cut it. Even if you are godly on defense, that’s not going to cut it. That’s not going to cut it. get it to 35 and then we got and then if he gets to the 35 3 and D player like like I don’t I’m like I’m already thinking like oh [ __ ] where’s he gonna like not even fit obviously if he’s that dude we’re going to have to find a way to fit him but it’s a good problem to have like I said we’re the Washington Wild Wings and I freaking love that you have to have the wings nowadays we saw the Pacers you That’s the problem. Like you got Champi there. You know, you got Cam Whitmore now. We got Kola Bali. You know, Will Riley, Cory Kpert, even though I think I think Cory Kper got to go. No offense to Cory, but he just got to go because there’s no space for him. Um, yeah. And I I like Cory Kper. He’s a good dude. He’s a good dude. He has a nice mustache. But you gota Sometimes you just got to trade the mustaches. shave the mustache set on Corey Kissper to Portland Corey for I don’t know Robert Williams. You might have to be like a a deal like um Corey Kispert to like like like a like a Jordan Pool deal like a just cap space at at this point. If you can’t even get a second for him, you might just settle for cap space. And that’s honestly probably even more valuable cuz Cory Krisper, you know, he’s just granted it’s an affordable deal, but at the end of the day, you know, it’s a long-term deal. I believe four years left. Granted, the last year is a club option deal, but he’s making $13 million a year, but who is our starting center? Sar it looks like I think even though I mean I myself I want to see him play a little bit of four Sar Bagley. I think you need to sign one more dude there honestly. Just one more dude for insurance because Bagley is injury concerns are very concerning. Um, you know, but man, let’s just let me just end this stream soon. I feel like I do streams a little bit too long. Jirro Watkins. Man, I initially when we first drafted him, I was like, “Bro, he reminds me of Deshawn Stevenson.” And I’m kind of like still sticking to that honestly a little bit. But if we got Deshawn Stevenson for pick number 43, we went back three spots, got a Deshawn Stevenson and two two future second round picks. Woc is cooked. He cooked. And of course he still got his man at 18 and he would I mean sorry at 21 that he would have gotten prior. Will Riley that trade is looking like money as each day passes by. Like that was a hell of a trade man. Hell of a hell of a trade. Even though at that camp y’all some of y’all might have known I wanted new. I wanted a new I was like who the [ __ ] gonna make big for us? We need a big and I knew was playing good in the summer league too. He was show the big thing with him was his three and he was showcasing it. I was like [ __ ] But so was you know Will Riley. So was Jir Walken. So I’m not going to be that butt hurt but knew was new was balling in the summer league man. Grant it’s just summer league again. You know that but you know I I I like the move. I really like that move though. We got feature second round picks and who’s to say who’s to say what we know what Will Dawkins does with those second round picks. We’ve seen already we traded some for Cam Whitmore. Don’t underestimate the value of the second round pick. Man, I I wish I can tell how long I’ve been on for 25 minutes. Huh? But yeah, man. really liking this move. I mean, sorry, really liking Jamar Jamir Watkins. And it’s come to the point where now I’m just like I’m leaning towards just like, “All right, let let’s just give him a standard contract and let’s move forward. Enough with the buffoonery, the two-way deal. He’s 24. Let’s give him a standard. Let’s give him some minutes. Let him showcase VU off the bench. Yeah, he’s on Yeah, I mean he’s off he’s on a two-way as well, but he might get promoted. There’s a lot of lot of moves right now that have to be made. A lot of moves. We have to cut down to 15. And on top of that, we got to make sure, you know, I think this Corey Kper thing is holding up some stuff. I think this Corey Kissper thing is holding up some stuff. I I I can’t I I can’t envision something because if Corey comes back and he plays, he’s going to play he’s going to get those minutes. They’re going to have to showcase him and he’s going to get minutes obviously over Jir. He’s going to get minutes some even over Cam Whitmore and we don’t want that. I don’t want that. But realistically speaking, we have to showcase him if we want to trade him. Because if we don’t showcase him, that means that we don’t uh we we keep lowering his trade value. Because remember, he ended the season. He had a he had a down season last year. And if we don’t showcase him at all, we may end up being stuck with him and his contract. And we don’t want that. I’m not the point with with Cory. Unfortunately, I wish him well. We I wish Cory Kisser the best of luck moving forward. I like him, but he doesn’t fit our shortterm goals and I don’t think he also fits in our long-term goals. He He’s not in either of the timelines. Dudes like Jir Watkins right now is just showing, hey man, you’re going to be forced to give me minutes. Cam Whitmore, we didn’t give up those picks to ensure he sits on the bench with us as well. I want Cam to get as many minutes as possc freaking Dawkins. Kudos to Will Dawkins. That was a hell of a move. But yeah, man. I’m going to end this stream here. I feel like uh stream went oh okay. Uh Watkins made a big leap 2024 to 2025 earning a second team all ACC honors after showcasing his ability versatility on both ends. He filled the box scores in all areas using physicality to create advantages in transition and the half court. He’s most effective attacking downhill using his strength. There it goes again. Aggressiveness to challenge defenses. However, his outside shot remains inconsistent and his defensive focus can waver. That I’m not worried about at all. Defensive focus, like I said, we talked about it earlier in the stream. Uh, I think Will Raleigh I mean Will Raleigh, sorry. Jir Watkins is a self-aware dude. Look, we got Bleacher Report ranked Watkins number 34 on their board by this is by Jonathan Werman. We all know who that we know. Um, we got him at 43. Just saying. highly intrigued. I I think I’m gonna do a uh more after summer league’s over today. I got some videos to make. I got some video. I’m dropping a video today on Bradley Beal. I feel like some people are going to get pissed off about that. I mean, I like Bradley Bill, but I understand they hate. Um but I just want to say my two cents on that. I’m gonna say that Brad Deil the one of the worst contracts of all time in NBA history. One of the worst. He didn’t deserve it. He was being a bit of a diva towards the end. But you got to separate now well the Suns pretty much did it for him in my opinion be from the contract because now Bradley Beal going to the Clippers on a 2-year 11 million deal first year guaranteed I believe it was a player option. Brad now all of a sudden went from being having one of the worst contracts of all time to now one of the best value contracts in the entire league with the two-year 11 million deal. And I feel like people are still shading on him for having that contract and his play never living up to that contract. Nowhere near living up to that contract. and they’re [ __ ] on him and tarnishing not even [ __ ] is like I don’t want to say it’s like the legacy but like just just attaching the contract to the name when in reality now he has already disattached his contract to to his name like just just the Clippers I think got a I I think the Clippers got a real one like they may have gotten a steal with Brad Leil. I think Brad Leil is going to replicate Norman Powell’s season last year. I think Brad Leil is going and Norman Powell had a borderline all-star year last year with the with the Clippers. Averaged 22 points. Granted playoffs kind of nowhere to be found with Norman Pal. I feel that’s also else they didn’t want to pay him but now they got Brad the Bill. I think Brad the Bill is going to replicate the same thing that Norman Powell did. the Clippers, man. I’m like the Clippers, like I I thought they could have made should have made the East the the conference finals this year, but like hey man, the I the Clippers are looking don’t obviously the the main thing with the Clippers is the injuries obviously with Kawawaii obviously with Bale Harden you know and age Gilbert Wall Bale Allstars lucky contracts. I agree. I agree. I’m gonna say this too. I’m dropping the video possibly within an hour. Video is already done. I’m just, you know, it it was a short video. I I I should have, you know, but I’m saying it right like be man that contract was horrific. And what Tommy Shepard did, giving him the no trade clause and giving Bo all the leverage when we should have traded him in 2019 when he was 26 years old when we could have gotten a lot of assets in return for him when we could have jump started our rebuild. Granted, I one thing I keep thinking to myself, like had we done that, Tommy Shepard would have been drafting the picks that we got from Brad Lee. So, we could have done that, shot ourselves in the foot, you know, and then we still would have been nowhere. So, you know, it all it all depends on who’s making the DM decisions. Maybe everything all worked out for the best. Maybe we think everything worked out for the best. Now we got a dude well Dawkins who’s competent, you know, he can do his thing in a draft night. You know, who’s to say we would have drafted a [ __ ] um James Wiseman got a top three pick. James Wiseman or who’s to say we would have [ __ ] got Lalabal or something like I don’t know. It’s just a lot of ifs and whatever. But you know, I’m just saying, man, I understand the hate that he got towards the end. Bill was being too loyal. Yeah, he was. He wanted to win here, but at the same time, he was being a little greedy and his agent cashed out on it. No trade clause, man. Are you serious? Him and LeBron, but anyways, that’s over with now. And now Bill is out of that. And now Bill is on a contract. That’s two years of a million dollars. Say what you want. He deserves all the hatred from the P. not a not not him personally but like the contract and he never never even living up to it but now that’s a fresh clean start two years $11 million 50% from the field last year 40% from three 17 points on a low usage rate now he has a competent PG in Harden now who’s going to set him up Allah a little bit possibly like Wall did a little bit ear I fast break. I still will take uh a hard in setting me up than, you know, Devin Bucker, Kevin Durant, what they were doing last year. But still, I think Be’s coming in for a comeback season, y’all. I think Bill’s coming back for a comeback and he’s only 32. He’s 32. He should be a fresh 32 because he’s barely played since like what, 2023? You know, you got to call a spade a spade. You know, he’s barely played. The man played what his last three three years with us I believe he played 40 games 60 games and 50 games barely played and he still got that contract. It’s absurd. Tommy Shepard. That’s all on Tommy Shepard and and Ted Leon’s. Those two deserve all the blame for that. You know, it is what it is. And Will Dawkins, our shiny Knight, came in and traded Bill when it was an impossible task. And not only trade it bill, but we actually had fine assets in return. We got the Suns first round pick swaps when it’s going to be vital. And the Suns have to pay be I believe it’s $20 million for the next four years, five years, sorry. Four or five. I’ll confirm that. So, they’re going to be capstrapped. So, they can’t improve their team. They just signed uh Devin Bucker to a $70 million a year uh uh contract. Yeah. I’m just saying kudos to Will Dawkins yet again with you know the draft looking like you know the one Trey Johnson, Will Rally and Jir Watkins who this stream was about. No more here freaking rambling about Tommy Shepard and [ __ ] Tommy Shepard always up ends up in my streams, but you know, um, kudos to Will Dawkins. I’m gonna end the stream with this. Kudos to Will Dawkins, man. I know there’s been small bumps in the road with him. Small bumps. I say they’re like speed bumps. Small speed bumps, you know, make sure we’re not going off the rails, you know. Should have traded Kakuza earlier. Okay, whatever. you know, Tyus Jones, but man, highly impressed with Will Dawkins. The man can draft even though it’s still too early to draft to, you know, evaluate our grade class or to give him a final grade.
