I... I don't know if Keyonte is an NBA player.

There's just nothing here.


Also, Hendricks went down with an AWFUL injury. I didn't see it but it has been described as Paul George-like.
Ausar is out with clots that could jeopardize his career. He has to pass a 3-person panel to be able to play again.

They fall behind in every game in first quarters and play checkup for rest of a game.
They crushed both games in OT, despite being in back to backs, because they played focused.
But much like in all other games this year, they allowed Nets to score 40 points in first quarter and fell behind by 13.

There is also spacing problem due roster construction, and having Zeke Nnaji and Deandre Salary dead salary of $13M,yet being unplayable. They are top heavy in salary books. Probably should have longer leash on Strawther, guy plays solid.

I kind a expect Porter to be traded at some point before midseason deadline. Too expensive for what he does.

Im just saying... if you are a chanpionship contender ,you dont need OT to defeat Nets and Raps. Yeah their roster construction sucks. Their backup C is Saric??? Sheeesh

It's not even problem that backup C is Šarić, it's problem that they don't even use him as stretch 5.
Even players they do have, aside from Murray & JOkić, aren't used well.

I don't even like how Porter is used.

Washington has a good young squad. That Bilal kid is going to be a monster. They just need to trade Poole and Kuz and complete the rebuild.
