Going Commando Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Kristaps looks like a different person with a beard. Seems like he could be good at disguises if he wasn't 8 feet tall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Not super impressed with the Wizards defense to start, leaving shooters wide open. Van Gundy was saying how improved it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) Ugh, i jus saw Kuz and Rui sitting on three point line and Unicorn trapped at top of the key into a jumpshot.

Renegade7 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 It doesn't matter how good their interior defense can or could be if they gonna let guards annihilate them from 3 like that.  Have to get better at run folks off the line, because we can't hit threes to keep up.

mhd24 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) Johnny Davis is a bust.  Does not have the athletic ability to be anything in the NBA.  Worst Wizards pick in history.  At least Vesley, Kwame, etc. had legit NBA athleticism.  Davis can't do ANYTHING on the court.  Troy Brown wasn't great or anything, but he didn't played scared out there and could handle the rock.  He's barely hanging on in the league (could never shoot well enough).  By comparison, Brown is lightyears a better prospect than Davis is. Edited October 29, 2022 by mhd24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) Team definitely sucks at drafting, I would contend the worst in the NBA the last 30 years. So many busts.  At least we won that TBJ/Gafford trade right? Gotta find the positives lol.  What's worse is when we do draft someone great we end up getting rid of them - Rasheed Wallace and Richard Hamilton being the most obvious examples. Steve Blake also had a great career. Our front office and coaching staff have sucked for decades. Edited October 29, 2022 by abdcskins 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Jordan Goodwin (G-league guy on a 2-way) is way more impressive. Â At least Goodwin isn't scared on the court. Â Davis hasn't done ANYTHING to suggest he should have been the pick. Â Kispert (who was drafted to be a role player) never played scared last year. Â Davis plays like he doesn't belong. Â No reason Unseld was playing Davis over Goodwin. Â Goodwin has to be killing him in practice, but it is politics a to why Davis was getting PT. Â 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks shook everytime they pan into his face, and ain't not such things as halfway crooks.  I keep waiting for what they saw in this guy, then I check notes on this teams drafting record and I don't think it matters. Perfect example of not drafting for need and why, so what we needed a PG if the best prospect available if he plays like he's scared of life all the time.  Do yall better understand why I have no interest in tanking when this is what we do with our draft picks? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
