The Wiz Kid

If you think AJ Johnson is a future star for the Wizards, I think you should tweet less.

Let’s how this ages (1.25.26)

In Yr 1, Bub Carrington was an elite 1-level scorer (mid) and bad defender.

In Yr 2, he is an elite 2-level scorer (mid+outside) and below-average defender.

By Yr 5 (1.25.29), I believe he will be a three level scorer and above average defender.

People talking about Alex and Tre looking different, but Ky has clearly transformed his body since the elbow injury. Looks like he’s lost 5-7% of his body fat and is ready to become the 2 guard of the future (or maybe lead guard when Trae Young leaves)

I guess that peace prize paid off

[The Wiz Kid @DCSportsReply]

1000%.

DP is coming into the league with a more refined game as an NBA scorer. I expect he will put up better numbers. But the rim pressure and length of AJ made me like his upside long-term. Nobody will, but we should really wait a few years before judging.

[Wizards Film Room @KevinFolliNBA]

Just one summer league game but I know he’s going to be special. I’ve told myself that I will not relitigate the pick of AJ or DP until the end of year 3 when it’s extension time.

Looking forward to AJ’s debut.

[The Wiz Kid @DCSportsReply]

@GregFinberg Not about who starts, but I feel like Ky is a shooting guard and BC is a wing?

[The Wiz Kid @DCSportsReply]

@JBiv101_1of1 @rayfordyoung @NBA @WashWizards I think people are forgetting that AJ played with a high usage, big time recruit PG at BYU. Should be fine

[The Wiz Kid @DCSportsReply]

@GainerJohn99280 @GregFinberg He’s our mentor who helps the young guys and is actually good anytime he plays. Hard to find that + has no ego about getting minutes so a great fit for 15th guy on the roster 🤷‍♂️

[The Wiz Kid @DCSportsReply]

@WonzoTV @TREJ0HNS2N I generally agree and think JA is quite underrated, but BC is also significantly younger then him so I think there is also an upside aspect to Bilal

[The Wiz Kid @DCSportsReply]

@Monekeykin @WonzoTV He’s 5 years older than Bub, who was drafted as a high-upside, developmental prospect…

But also, you’d rather Cooper get pg reps over Riley and Tre to help the Wiz win a championship long term?

Just doesn’t make sense. Coop has no upside and will nvr have trade value.

[The Wiz Kid @DCSportsReply]

@Monekeykin @WonzoTV So, u think winning 3 more games next year because Cooper is the backup PG will help us in the long run more than on ball reps for Riley, Bub, and Johnson? 🤦‍♂️👎

[The Wiz Kid @DCSportsReply]

@GregFinberg G: Young, Johnson, Carrington
W: Dybantsa, George, Coulibaly, Riley, Watkins,
F: Davis, LBJ, Champagnie, Gill
C: Sarr, Vukcevic, Bagley

[The Wiz Kid @DCSportsReply]

@WonzoTV 3 for $10 would be 👌👌👌

[The Wiz Kid @DCSportsReply]

@NoClueIsTheBest @MrCongee I was hoping he’d put on a little weight to be a small ball run and fun 4, but does look like he’s going the other direction

[The Wiz Kid @DCSportsReply]

I am essentially 1000% out on the idea of signing a back-up pg this offseason.

[Jim @Wiz_Weekly]

Big believer in Sasser. Would absolutely look into this if I were the Wizards. Fills a need as a backup PG for us and he’s a guy that I think could pop if given more opportunity.

[The Wiz Kid @DCSportsReply]

Dear #Wizards Community,

Plz stop saying we should sign a back-up pg. We should not be maxing out wins this season and management has already said that’s not the goal. Y’all are so desperate to win 40 games you want to hold the growth up of Tre, Bub, Will and others 🤦‍♂️

Chill!

[The Wiz Kid @DCSportsReply]

@GregFinberg Shit, I’d sign him to a 4-year deal

[The Wiz Kid @DCSportsReply]

@JudahBF @Free_Thinking1 Not enough spacing

[The Wiz Kid @DCSportsReply]

@MrCongee My sell. They found the model they were looking for.
Aligns with how Vecenie thinks about Okpara
