Washington Wizards Point Guard Situation EXPOSED | Is It Already Time to Monitor The Lottery?
Washington Wizards’ Point Guard Crisis Threatens Young Core Development
Seven games into the season, the Washington Wizards rank 29th in offensive efficiency with a glaring problem: no true point guard. Ben Strober and Abdullah Ayubi break down how this roster gap is stunting the development of Bub Carrington, Alex Sarr, and Bilal Coulibaly, while forcing wing Keyshawn George into an uncomfortable playmaking role.
The hosts provide their first lottery update with the Wizards sitting at 1-6, analyzing why staying in the bottom four is critical to keeping their top-8 protected pick from Phoenix. They defend the front office’s rebuilding strategy against impatient fans, discuss Brian Keefe’s questionable rotation decisions with Justin Champagne, and preview the upcoming matchup against a Jason Tatum-less Boston Celtics team.
Discover why this rebuild is different from the Tommy Shepard and Ernie Grunfeld eras, and whether the Wizards can balance competitive development with securing a top pick in the loaded 2026 draft class.

I said grab mcclung. Check out his pacers highlights.
This organization is sleeping g on AJ Johnsons development and its sad
It's definitely time to monitor the lottery.
The wizards need a GM. I need the keys to the gym and a signing bonus.
Keefe does not connect with these young guys.
no better Wizards content ๐ฅ
Indy isnโt gonna be that bad, they almost beat OKC
Clue: tanking doesn't work.
๐ซกBub is our Pg. Let him develop. SGA was 10ppg and 3ast and got traded by the Clippers. This is real life development not 2K progression ๐
The wizards have a PG problem and a size problemv which equals a GM problem.
Yโall keep talking about the players, when this piss poor HC is the obvious problem. We were blown out in damn near ALL of our losses last year and it looks like itโs going to be this year too as long as Brian Keefe is the HC. How in the hell do you learn to win from getting blown out every night?๐

JA MORANT. PG PROBLEM SOLVED.
I'm still hoping that Bubs ceiling is a poor man's Rod Strickland and not the second or third guy off of the bench
Is Strickland coaching somewhere?
CAM GOT MORE RUN IN HOUSTON๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ AJ ON THE BENCH ROTTING AWAY. ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญYOU GUYS WANT GEORGE TO PLAY PG SF PF AT THE SAME TIME. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
BUB HAS A BRIGHT FUTURE IN THE WNBA.
WE GAVE UP DENI FOR BUB. THINK ABOUT THAT.
JA MORANT DONE IN MEMPHIS. JS.
My unpopular opinion is that Washington is spoon feeding the offense of the '24 French team, Miami, & Memphis. If you notice, their movement has high assist rates from every position. If they got Boozer, he is a passing big. Think of Sengun sans flash. Also Tre's game is different than at Texas. Ima wait and see what pans out. The end result might be a surprise.
AJ WATCHONG THIS VIDEO SAYING TO HIMSELF, " WHAT AM I, CHOPPED LIVER?"
VJ LOOKING ELITE. ACE LOOKING ELITE. TREY LOOKING MID.
I WISH WE HAD A PAIR OF EXCITING WHITES LIKE THE BULLS AKA GIDDY & MATAS.
PLAY AJ AT PG THEN DRAFT BOOZER. YOU'RE WELCONE DAWKINS. HIRE ME MID SEASON.
Bud is not terribleโฆ just has work to do.
