Ky, Sarr and Tre looking like 3 GREAT building blocks.

It's pretty clear they can be the core of a good team which has been the whole point of the last two seasons.

Man we deserve an unsung player turning into a star. Kyshawn is a menace.

Charles Barkley said the Wizards were holding him hostage - but he did his best to lead the tank. He's no Kuzma though.


Two games. I know he looks like Ramon Sessions combined with Gary Neal combined with Eric Maynor, but he can't be this bad. :)

Same. I hate how the Wiz fans all over the internet (not necessarily here) have decided to have a negative outlook on Bilal. He still has upside to discover

OK Kyshawn, you know if you're gonna blow Wizards draft position you gotta keep playing like an all NBA.

Bub needs to bulk up. He can be a solid combo guard off the bench.
Whitmore need to use his body and strength more…and pass.

The other young players showed something good today. Really happy for all of them and the win.

CJ McCollum looks terrible 1-10 from 3 6-22 from the field in 2 games. Not sure how long he can continue to start over Tre. It's painful to watch. He looks done.

Very frustrating watching CJ get so many minutes but I get it. Want to trust the vets to close out the game. But he is giving Johnny Davis vibes.

Hell of a defender. Didn't know the offense would come this early. It's fun to watch a kid who is a potential star and he was picked 24th. What a steal. Need a point guard and big dude to team with Sarr. The way we looked tonight, not sure we're going to have a lottery pick next season unless we trade for one or we get that swap with Phoenix (if they are worse than us, I believe).

This team is making it hard for me not to shell out 20/mo for Monumental..... I just don't wanna enrich that bastard because he's such a POS.........
Huh..... decisions, decisions....

He played worse than his numbers showed. He didn’t guard very well, he made more bad passes than the 2 turnovers the stats showed. He held the ball too long, and passed the ball too late. He took some bad shots.
That said, he also had some good moments. Overall, still not a good outing for him.

Couldn't watch but dang. Keyshawn George, career
night. Very efficient. Tre chipping in with a solid
shooting night. Road win!

Agree, you don't give up on a kid, that long and athletic with some BB IQ and international experience. Expectations were pretty high and he hasn't delivered yet. But you know what? He's watching Kyshawn become a star and Tre just get buckets. Even his countryman Saar is bigger and better. If you are not motivated by that, you'll just be a role player. You snooze, you lose in this league if he's not ready to elevate his game when he's ready to play.

After they lucked into Flagg it’ll be fun to read about early season panic in Dallas
Making extreme statements like "only" sounds like there are "no" Jokics in this draft? Jokic is an engine that was drafted in the 2nd round. Always a chance to see diamond dropped by sloppy burgular after a theft.

11-15 shooting, 7-9 from 3. Obviously he was hot.
But also obviously he can't do that every night.
I'll take it for now. Can't wait to watch it.

Tre wilth a nice shooting night, over 50%.

I guess Bilal is coming off the bench when he comes back? At least until Middleton and/or CJ get traded. Kyshawn is so impressive, looks like a legit two way star in the making.
