Wiz Kids

1.) Alex Sarr- 19 years old
2.) Carlton "Bub" Carrington- 19 years old
3.) Bilal Coulibaly- 20 years old
4.) Kyshawn George- 20 years old
5.) A.J. Johnson- 20 years old
6.) Tristan Vukcevic- 22 years old
7.) JT Thor- 22 years old
8.) Colby Jones- 22 years old
9.) Justin Champagnie- 23 years old
10.) Jordan Poole- 25 years old

That moment when you realize OG on that list is 25.

Caulibaly is starting to concern me, Poole potentially meeting his potential would make up for that.

I'd rather have what's happening now then winning the draft lottery...anything can happen to one young talented player.

They have a bunch of them now...someone will want to come here.

We should start KD2Cpt2

If he doesn't sign an extension, he's a free agent at the end of next season.

I'm not convinced the number of teams that are good and willing to trade enough assets for Pheonix to start a rebuild will be very long. Then KD has to want to be there and agree to sign an extension first before that megatrade is agreed to...which shrinks that list even more, imo...he's 36 now.

Weekly recap
• Sarr’s improvement is noticeable in scoring, 3-point shooting and defense. He has averaged 16.9 points since the All-Star break, compared to 11.4 before it. His accuracy from the arc is at 37.1% post-break vs. 30.8% pre. And his net rating, formerly minus 15.9 points per 100 possessions, is 11.9 better in the Wizards’ 10 games since the break.

The wizards are an embarrassment to basketball

You don't get clobbered by 50 in the worst Wizards loss in team history and NOT get Flagg. There is no other option. No Harper, no Bailey. Flagg or it's a disaster.

What's with this hot take?

I thought you had season tickets.

Young players have been developing jus like we needed them to.

But we are still intentionally tanking, that's what this roster is designed for.

So are blasting them for losing badly or not losing enough? Pick one, then please ask yourself why.

Fans have been begging for the team to blow it up and start over for years. This is what that looks like. The good news is that we seem to have a nascent core of promising young players. Anyone who would like to go back to the era of struggling to get into the playoffs occasionally and then get blown out of the water, please raise your hand.

I hate tanking.

I approve of these tanking results.

The truth is the philosophy centers around having an eye for young talent, which is needed whether tanking or not.

That's why I'm so far still okay with this.

The Beal era was dumb, no wanted to do that, buy we did need better then 2nd round exits at best.

That's why I finally backed off, tanking seemed like only way left.

It sure as hell isn’t pretty or easy to watch but that’s the nature of the beast nowadays. If we hit on another star level player to pair with Sarr, we’ll be in business big time.
