I hope after the G-League stint, they give this kid some real minutes with the big boys, finding out what he's got will no doubt shape our draft.

Really nice game from AJ tonight (DEN).

Re: AJ Johnson shrine
I can't wait to see more... He's more aggresive to the rim than Bub, and that might work out as a nice compliment to Bubs midrange and 3point game.....
It seems like with AJ and Bilal we have physically exceptional players, and with Bub and Kyshawn we have extremely long and tall players with high bbiq's, has me liking the combinations they are accruing.... Sarr is kind of a mix of both types, though his bbiq is still in the early developmental stage, but centers take longer to develop, so I'm not too concerned as he's flashed many times this season.....Smart and Middleton have made a tremendous impact in such a short amount of time.... Damn the future is bright... I'm loving it....

Re: AJ Johnson shrine
This kid is different. He is gifted with some good hops, twitches, change of pace, direction, and quickness. I feel like he can be special IF he can put all those gifts together with shot selections that are high percentage for him. He needs to gain some strength too. But there is something special brewing in him, if he can put it all together.

Re: AJ Johnson shrine
One of the most athletic players we've ever had. Looking forward to his development.

I love the potential but the game has to slow down for him.

Re: AJ Johnson shrine
He's ok. He plays alot as a PG but seems like he will work best off the ball. He isnt a great ballhandler and isnt quite as quick as reported.. His shot and leaping ability off ball is an asset

His first basket with the Wizards was a highlight reel finish. He's got me sold. He's a keeper.WallToWall wrote:This kid is different.

Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

New career high of 17 pts for the Wizards 4th Rookie from the class of 2024.

The kid penetrates into the paint and wants to get to the cup which is something we were missing, he is certainly worth keeping around for further evaluation.

I see why Bucks fans were so salty he was included in the trade.
President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.
