There's a lot of similar prospects in the 2024 class that will likewise need the right landing spot and patience before casting judgement. Deni went to arguably the worst situation in the NBA. He dealt with injuries, coaching changes, and competing agendas from ownership down. Only now that the Wizards have embraced tanking has Deni approached 10 fga per game and he's finally proving how good he can be. Wizards should be building around guys like him and Coulibaly but they're so inept they'll probably trade him just as he's rewarding them for drafting him in the first place.
If they are thinking of trading him, the Kings are rumored to be shopping Mitchell and I think a swap with them for Deni makes sense for both teams since each of them need a change of scenery and fill needs. I think both are starting caliber players but Mitchell is blocked with us and Deni might get his opportunities taken from him at any time going by his history with the Wizards.
How do you in one breath say the wizards will stupidly trade Deni because of incompetence, and then suggest they trade him for Davion Mitchell, a player that can basically be had for free?
lol make it make sense
