Onyenso would be an awesome pickup in the 2nd round
Aryan@Ary_Report
The Washington Wizards are hosting a pre-draft workout on Tuesday, May 26 featuring Virginia’s Ugonna Onyenso, Tennessee’s Felix Okpara, SMU’s Jaron Pierre Jr., Georgia Tech’s Kowacie Reeves Jr., Tennessee’s Ja’Kobi Gillespie, and Virginia’s Dallin Hall, league source say.

I don’t believe the OKC Boozer rumor, just because OKC doesn’t let stuff leak. But if Presti likes Boozer, that tells me I’m not off in my analysis of how good Boozer can be.
English
@HalftimeHotline Yep. Defense was so good at UConn. I had him number 1 on my board that year.
English
@Wiz_Weekly Hopefully people are actually watching college ball and not going off stats alone, because he was already an elite defender at UCONN. With jis size, dog, and athletecism...it would've been an easy pick. Should've went #1 that year.
English
The Spurs defense is fascinating to me. They just plant Wemby as the low man around the rim and then pre-switch and communicate to keep him there. It’s almost like a zone since Wemby isn’t really even guarding anyone. Gotta be difficult to execute but they do it so well.
English
Just to clarify this is a list of some underrated/cheap free agents I’d be interested in.
Yes there are bigger names out there that I’m sure we’ll go after, just think these players are undervalued and could fill a need for us next season.
Jim@Wiz_Weekly
List of unrestricted free agents I like for the Wizards this offseason: Brandon Williams Javonte Green Bones Hyland Dean Wade Mo Wagner Jock Landale

@NoClueIsTheBest I do think the arc is kinda broken. It’s really flat (not sure if you’d count that as mechanics) but other than that yes I agree the form looks good and repeatable.
I think he’ll improve the question is just how much?
English
@Wiz_Weekly Given that he's been working with the guy who fixed Egor Demin's shot + there doesn't seem to be anything mechanically broken with the shot, I expect that he will turn into a 40% 3 point shooter at some point in his career.
English
AJ can really pass man if the 3 point shot comes around this is a top 10 offensive player in the league
Tre Johnson SZN@trejohnsonszn
7 min of AJ Dybantsa passing / playmaking film Skip passes, lobs, PnR work, wrap around passes, finding cutters, passing out of doubles, finding open 3pt looks
English
@Moochaveli Yep I agree with all that. Again, their play styles are different but the combination of strength, skill, and processing is there for sure (which is how you can overcome a lack of athleticism)
English
Boozer and Luka don’t play alike, but the pre-draft discourse is similar. Luka was the highest feel and most accomplished player in the draft, but was undervalued due to a perceived lack of upside because of his athleticism. Pretty much exactly what’s happening now with Boozer.
Jared@Free_Thinking1
I'm starting to hear Luka comps for Cam Boozer as far as ceiling for him as play style & greatness 🤔 That is a bridge I cannot cross 🚫
English
@Free_Thinking1 Yeah no I get what you’re saying. They definitely don’t play alike at all.
Just saying the narratives are similar and I think Cam should be in the discussion at 1 more than it seems like he is.
English
@Wiz_Weekly I get that to a degree but Im talking about people saying he is an elite offense engine point forward who should have the ball in his hands to start every position (play style like Luka)

@Free_Thinking1 Saw Cade comp yesterday, I'm tired boss
English
However, I don’t think teams will necessarily regret passing on Boozer the way the Kings and Suns regret passing on Luka because AJ/DP are higher level prospects than Ayton/Bagley.
But the narratives surrounding Boozer are eerily similar to the way people talked about Luka.

Mitch Johnson talks about Shai Gilgeous-Alexander:
"You talking about Shai's free throws ???? I think probably half of them were from us being undisciplined first off the floor. He got us out of position and took advantage of it. Those 12 free throws helped out a lot and I can remember at least a few in my head right now that were undisciplined on our end"
English
I usually like how aggressive the Spurs are on defense but their perimeter defenders were straight up reckless tonight. They fouled the Thunder on like 10 of their jump shots and were just way too handsy.
You have Wemby in the paint! No need to bail them out with this many fouls
English
@shoooobb @NoClueIsTheBest I think an unprotected first would do it especially with the new lottery rules but I’d be trying to make it like a top 3-4 protected pick and idk if that gets it done.
English
@NoClueIsTheBest @Wiz_Weekly i don’t think it will be but it depends on okc’s feelings at the range bc they don’t have enough roster spots but you never know
