Wizards general manager Will Dawkins on taking Bilal Coulibaly & Tristan Vukcevic in 2023 NBA Draft
New Washington Wizards general manager Will Dawkins meets with the media after the 2023 NBA Draft where he led the team in selecting Bilal Coulibaly at No. 7 and Tristan Vukcevic at No. 42.
Sad that year after year we always draft foreign guys. It’s like ever since they disrespectfully traded John Wall they seemed to be gentrifying the team much like the real DC.
The team has to match the grit and toughness of DC just like Miami. This ain’t San Antonio man. This is wack. DC is/was Chocolate City we love our people aswell. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I've been watching the Bullets/Wizards since the mid 70s. I can add up all the times I've heard the word "plan" in the past 4 decades, and it doesn't equal the number of times Mr. Dawkins used that word today. What a change! A plan! That they actually follow and start to enact!!!
Wes unseld junior needs to be next to go. And start fresh with a new coach and coaching staff. Rui developed more in a few months with the Lakers than all the time he was at wizards. God can only help deni develop under this staff. Clean slate for all.
Why did Indiana draft him We didn't want him I didn't understand that. They gave up a first Rd pick next yr for no reason. We knew Indiana was getting a power forward Anyone know??
Whoever asked the question at 8 minutes can F right off. The fanbase has been DESPERATE for a proper rebuild. They can suck for 3 years and we have no problem with it. 3 years of bad is nothing coming on the tail of 35 of the last 40 years basically being hopeless.
Ted Leonsis is a awful owner as far a building a real NBA Franchise. This litterally is the Wiz starting over from scratch just to do so. No reason that roster should not have made the playoffs last season. Its a combination of owner bad coaching and bad front office. Im sorry but I have no faith in a positive rebuild
I say this in all honesty for the first time in all of my 39 years I am excited about what the wizards are building I wish we could've kept Rui Hachimura but other than that I like what we are building if we're going to be bad record wise let's at least we can see the future is bright. I'm not sure if Wes is the right coach for what they are trying to build I think they should hire Caron Butler as the next HC and let him bring that Heat Culture to the Wizards 🪄🧙♂️ plus he's a Wizards legend I would love to see that! Side note Pause Will you trippin with all that Pause " touch the guy's" Pause shid at the end let that be your last time saying shid like that you're representing DC now.
guys do urself a favor and watch in what team Tristan played in (Partizan) and in what kind of atmosphere this kid is used to playing in. And the aba league is no joke!
such a breath of fresh air to hear our front office focusing on the "long term approach". Ernie and Tommy always with terrible short sighted moves with zero thought about down the line. Ted should have made these changes years ago.

Like Poole and Tyus and the other add ons, Wizards are going to be fun to watch.
Wes got a big job on his hands developing these young guys

Welcome to The District! Get Ben's Chili Bowl and then some W's. Good luck. It's a new day for basketball in DC!

THUMBNAIL LOOKS LIKE CHRIS SMOOVE
I want the Wizards to win. None of this rebuilding stuff.
Tired of being the lost organization and sick of losing. We deserve better. 😭
Great speaker

How about a newer and easier to pronounce nickname for Bilal if he can play…Bill Cool.

They only had 2 weeks to pull this off….. Impressive
