As it is constituted right now, I like this team more than any Wiz roster in a long time. Kyshawn is the real deal. Bilal has star potential. Others - like Champanie - are scrappy and fun to watch. Though they’re just passing through, I love Smart and Brogdan on our team as role models.

Just hope we can lose enough to stay in the “dunker’s spot” lottery wise. At this point I kind of doubt it. We’re actually pretty good.
In Rizzo we trust

They're 5-5 in their last ten. That's not bad for such a young team. Although it seems a lot of those wins came against bottom feeders. But I'll take it.

I remember when people on this board were telling me that Cade Cunningham would be a bust. Now he's a top 5 pg lol.

I remember that as well, which is exactly why you can’t give up on young players when they struggle early on….including those who wear the Zards uni.

Although you could see from the outset that Cade had a well-rounded game that only needed time to develop.

I never paid much attention to Cade but its interesting that he's had a positive on/off number every season.

Cade makes me think Harper could be a great get
for us.

Ive had Harper as the obvious 2nd pick since i saw him shred Alabama's defense after playing OT the night before. Actually i think i had him number 1 for awhile until Flagg started hitting his jumpers.

I had the same thought. Both are big guards with good handles and the ability to create for themselves in the paint.

When I first saw him I was not that impressed. Then as I watched more
other prospects it just seems like no one pops as much as I would have
thought given how much this class has been hyped. So I probably had
unrealistic expectations.

Cade (38M) had 21 FTA's
Bub (27M) 4FTA's
Poole (24M) 6FTA's

We beat them with superior 3-point shooting last night.
