@Splashh_Gordon Yeah I’m in line with getting to know them off the court and learn more about their character etc. And that’s what they did with boozer and all the prospects lol.
No need to make a big deal out of the workouts
AJ might end up being the best player in the draft but I’m very confident in DP and Boozer leading their teams to more wins.
winning ultimately is what matters the most
My question with AJ is what does he do that drives winning?
There’s been so many players that come in and average 20+ for decades yet haven’t won anything because they struggle to play within a system and do the little things. Ie Tmac
My fear is AJ becoming one of those guys
@ZoroSoTufff I would say just surround him with defenders. If he’s the worst defender in the lineup up then I’m confident . Kinda what New York did with Brunson
If Daryn Peterson ends up in Washington. This Wizards team can be really special:
A+
🔵Young (Virgo)
🔵Peterson (Capricorn)
🔵Champagnie (Cancer)
🔵Davis (Pisces)
🔵Sarr (Taurus)
If Dawkins doesn’t mind doing another roster reconstruction to surround AJD with defense and physicality I’d be up for it. You wouldn’t have to do that if you draft DP
AJ Dybantsa or Darryn Peterson: Who should the Washington Wizards draft at No. 1? @TheAthletic's NBA Draft expert, @Sam_Vecenie, and I delved in-depth into the Wizards' choice. Here's free access to our piece:

@shoooobb I fully agree. My question is would Dawkins sign up for that? I don’t think we have the roster in place to be a contender with AJ and we unfortunately have too many negative defenders and he would be one more 🤷🏽♂️
Mitch Johnson yesterday:
"De'Aaron Fox will have the basketball in his hands at the end of the game tomorrow."
De'Aaron Fox in the fourth quarter:
0 PTS
0-4 FG
0 AST
0 REB
The only way the Knicks made it work with Brunson is by surrounding him with high impact defenders from top to bottom. If we draft AJ there would need to be a similar roster overhall to contend
@Domo8186 He still played a different role at UConn compared to high school and we knew there was a lot more that he is able to do but just didn’t have the opportunity to showcase it. I see DP in the same light
