AJ for me. I missed the vote. It was Peterson for me, until the Trae trade. I would DEFINITELY entertain trade calls!!
I'd give cam a roster spot over Bilal honestly
Cam whitmore isn't going to have a future on this team especially if they get a top 3 pick
China.
I can't listen to you guys you're logic doesn't make sense to me keeping whitmore and I guess he's going to be great defensely for the wizards right?
…and Cam didn't olay much in Houston. Hope he's better soon and a prime contributor next season. We have a DEEP team and not expectations to lose next season.
@Pick 1, Darren Peterson or Boozer.
Ben + 80 Aura for being a you boy fan
Sad day for Cam Whitmore.
Hope he came stronger then ever.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE……A BIG CENTER WHO CAN REBOUND & BLOCK OR ALTER SHOTS…WE DON'T NEED HIM TO SCORE MUCH……..SARR, CAN PLAY THE PF,……TACO FALLS, AT THE 5…….
Let's go over this again.
The model for the Washington Wizards is the Oklahoma City Thunder.
What do the Oklahoma City Thunder have that the Washington Wizards do not?
A seven foot center to go with a seven foot power forward.
I want the Play in Teams out for the lottery picks
AJ 💯
I know it’s a sin to draft for fit but boozer is the best fit. The talent disparity between the top 3-4 isn’t large enough in my opinion to not go for fit. I’m tired of Guards like B Coul and Ky playing the 4. Get real 6’9 250 Bruiser who can shoot 3’s. It’s a match made in heaven.
