Will Riley: 32 PTS on 6-8 3PT AJ Dybantsa: 23 PTS, 3 STL, 2 BLK Felix Okpara: 3 BLK, +20 New pod on another impressive performance from the 2-0 Summer Wizards ⬇️ youtu.be/YEGxh4vjiyQ?is…

@GarthABowen Would make sense given his knee injury in the first game

@GregFinberg I’d be surprised if Watkins plays as well.

Last summer, Wizards rookies Tre Johnson and Will Riley were shut down after two Summer League games. It’s not official yet, but I would expect the same for AJ Dybantsa, who’s played great through two games. I would also be surprised if Riley or Johnson play tonight.

@MattJacksonUSF I think so🤷‍♂️

@GregFinberg How does summer league even work if we win and go 3-0 aren’t we in the summer league playoffs or something lmao

@OBtoojiveforyou @Free_Thinking1 My guess is they always went in with two games as the plan and he’s played well enough to not have to play any more games. Personally speaking, I would love to see him play again 🤷‍♂️

@GregFinberg @Free_Thinking1 i'm hoping for one more game....Boozer is on game 4 or 5 by now, why can't our guys play more than 2?

@Free_Thinking1 Agreed

@GregFinberg You know Im just hopefull cause I want to see more of these guys Just saw this. Not a good sign IMO x.com/i/status/20770…

@Free_Thinking1 Possibly

@GregFinberg I have a feeling Tre plays tonight cause he didnt in G2 My gut says Riley, Tre and AJ go the 1st half tonight Cam and DP have both played a bunch of games

@JonathanCabot_ Would certainly be fun

@GregFinberg Maybe they let AJ play one more since he’s been healthy

@AdamBattocchi I think he can average 15+ as a rookie. The playoffs depends on the rest of the team more so and how they perform

@GregFinberg Based on what you have seen. What are realistic stats for AJ as a rookie? Are they good enough to have a winning season and make the playoffs?

@MojoTheEskimo Same here. It’s been a very fun summer league

@GregFinberg This draft class is so competitive I would like to see all the top picks play each other if not I completely understand it but this year has a different vibe to it

@SleeperWizards Good catch!

@GregFinberg reasonably fair to draw assumption from the team's gameday poster that they are all going to be shut down x.com/WashWizards/st…

@AWAndyJames Same here

@GregFinberg I like the simple designs a lot. Wish some designs like this could be their regular ones

Most points per game by a No. 1 pick through two Las Vegas Summer League games: 1. AJ Dybantsa (25.0 PPG) 2. John Wall (24.0 PPG) 3. Cooper Flagg (20.5 PPG)

@Daavidmm23 Nothing official yet but my guess would be he doesn’t play

@GregFinberg AJ play today? Or is their Summer League over already?

@AWAndyJames It’s cool to see how the summer league jerseys have evolved over the years

@GregFinberg Why are both of these jerseys so cool but they don’t sell them anywhere? Ugh. 😩

@MarcMHarrold @CMillsPXP @WashWizards 💪

@GregFinberg @CMillsPXP @WashWizards Thanks @GregFinberg‼️ Gotta make real headway on the sequel because I don’t get nearly as much writing done during the @WashWizards season. 🏀 #Forthedistrict

I RARELY cross-pollinate my worlds but fellow Wizards-maniacs, my thriller is being re-released this Thursday so doing ONE crossover post‼️ @GregFinberg @CMillsPXP @WashWizards amazon.com/Out-Blue-gritt…

@tylerbarberis_ @BleacherReport @Jerm_10 Congrats, Tyler!!

Personal News 🚨: I’m excited to announce that I have accepted a position on the Hero Programming team with @BleacherReport starting August 3rd. Huge thank you to @Jerm_10 for giving me the opportunity to work for one of the best sports media companies in the world!

@LoLo_DCraised 🎯

@GregFinberg And should improve with a pro-level front line & other 1st options on offense.

I've been impressed with AJ Dybantsa's defense through two Summer League games. He's used his 7-foot wingspan to deflect passes and alter shots. Has a block, a steal and several deflections tonight and is a +15.

@AdamBattocchi My guess is he will be shut down. I think the TMac comparisons are cool

@GregFinberg Do you think we've seen the last of AJ in summer league? Who would you compare his game to? I see a cross between Kevin Durant and Dwyane Wade.

@skrasz I don’t view that signing as competition to steal a rotational spot as much as I view it as a good depth option with great experience and chemistry with this group

@GregFinberg Don’t know what to make of the Middleton signing when Riley is better

That’s an efficient 30-ball for Will Riley on 9-14 FG and 6-8 3PT (!) Incredible shooting display
