It’s amazing how quickly AJ moves with the ball in his hands. He’s like a Whippet out there.

He clearly has intriguing physical gifts but needs NBA playing time before
we can know if he'll have the savvy to be special or just another NBA player.
It seems obvious that the zards are very interested in learning which of
these 2 outcomes is more likely, as they are with our other youngsters:
BIlal, Sarr, Bub, Kyshawn and now also Colby, Vuk and I can't even remember
the full list (1-2 others as well including Champagnie).

AJJ is still early in this process. I'd say his tools appear to be similar
to what I've seen in the limited times I've watched Edgecomb.
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity

When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression

Those who are convinced of absurdities, can be convinced to commit atrocities

Read on Twitter
Tsze-Kung asked, "Is there one word which may serve as a rule of practice for all one's life?"

The Master said, "Is not Reciprocity such a word? What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others."

Might go down as a top 100 play of the NBA season. If this was all he did all year I'd still be curious in his development.

Seems like AJJ has some similar qualities as VJEdge

I see a bit of Dejounte Murray in him. Murray also took some time developing into a good player.
Can't say I do. Who else gonna shoot?

Took some time? AJ is a 20-year old rookie! :)

(Probably) AJ will never be what SGA ended up turning into. But watching him this past games reminded me a bit of the rookie SGA.

I still say AJJ is a good comp for VJEdge
or maybe I should say vice versa. AJJ
is already doing it in the Association.

Which is why the Wizards shouldn't draft Edgecombe.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.
