Literally a carbon copy (play style, frame, explosiveness) of McDyess at Alabama but with better passing instincts.

I think I have to move him to #3 ahead of Boozer.



Yes, that's a good one! :nod:

He actually reminds me of Antonio Daniels. And Dybantsa reminds me of Jarvis Hayes #throwback

A Caleb Wilson / Alexandre Sarr frontline is drool worthy. At their potential peak, that's a frontline that can challenge for title. So much athleticism, switchability on defense, developing skill on offense. High IQ decision making, instant reads and passing. Caleb's high level motor & intensity.

If we don't land top 4 and if Boozer drops to 5, any chance the Spurs would trade Harper for him? Spurs have Fox and Castle at guard already and may lose Sochan in the offseason. We might even encourage them to think we will try to sign Sochan in the summer.

Fox, Castle, Keldon Johnson/Devin Vassell, Boozer, Wembanyama is a good, young lineup. If Booz is some unstoppable inside force, then the Spurs become hilariously overpowered.
Can't say I do. Who else gonna shoot?

Caleb "The Kraken" Wilson. That has a good ring to it. I live in Chapel Hill now and will see if I can get the nickname to stick :D

Watching Peat in a game for the first time a couple of things stand out. He is really athletic. He is faster and more agile than I realized from watching highlights.

He's pretty short though. He's listed at 6'8 but I would guess he might be almost 2" shorter than that.

Caleb must be in consideration for us as a top 5 pick. Him and Sarr at 4/5 could be a relentless menace!


Days back I posted draft AJ Dybantsa. I will stick by that.

Caleb Wilson can become a Jalen Duren, which would complete the Wizards' front court.

Knowing that Wilson might still be on the board at #6, this is a perfect draft day trade down.

Antawn Jamison and Vince Carter were swapped on draft day. Suppose the Wizards decide in the grand scheme that Wilson is their guy. Washington could trade down 3, 4,, or 5 for the rights to Wilson

I used to hardly ever look at the physical or much video to predict. I KNEW Millsap was going to be great. He would fill needs. Caleb Wilson isn't just a safe pick. He's the best fit next to Sarr. Remember Chris Webber and Rasheed Wallace? Sarr and Wilson would be special.

With the Wizards 1st round pick, I wouldn't mind an absurd selection, Braden Smith.
The Wizards shoukd have drafted Derik Queen

I told you so :banghead:

Return to Washington Wizards
