I’d definitely move Delon soon if I were the GM. Loved him last year, but he’s proven to be only a 3 and D guy. Rollins needs his minutes
Let's run these kids… Both Butlers, Ryan and Eugene. Put PBJ in the G with Max minutes…When he average 25 there he ready….Give Johnny the defensive Green light…Shamet is a mean attack dog…Run him with Eugene👍
I can't spell his name but if we having a big man issue why is the LB coming in on the 3rd unit and not be next off the bench. He clearly has no problem getting dirty and fighting for boards and keeps the opposing defender honest by having to chase him around on the floor!!! He needs more minutes!!!!! And if the 3rd unit is coming in kicking A@# why not play them earlier when you see the game getting out of hand?!?!?!?
Hey guys, I love the energy from the third unit. If I’m Wes, I would rather have them play more minutes for the next game than gallanari, shamet, delon and muscala. Even though we’re not gonna win games this season obvious but I rather see some excitement and effort from them than the vets.
Deni will never be a 3rd option with Poole and Kuzma on the floor..its not enought ball to go around
He be better coming off the bench..Or included in a trade for a different player..Deni need to be involved on the O but can't with Poole and Kyle.
The 4th qt squad needs to be the 3rd quarter squad to keep
Us in the game those guys have drive
What's up with y'all and Poole. He he shoots 8/14- 3/4, 6 assists and 4 stl and 19 pts and you act like that bad. He was setting screens and trying to play defense and was much more focused then he has been in the last few games.
Ya'll are way too critical.
For this team yeah 3rd option, for a good team 3rd string
Deni's problem so far has been consistency, he had 3 good games and 3 very bad ones. If he solved this problem this summer he could be a third option
Gaff got done dirty on those fouls…. but we 100% need to drop the other 2 centers Gallinari and Muscala who look more like players that should be long retired… also, you're constantly complaining about Gaff as a center, but like years gone by, no one is looking for him for the pick n rolls….. i see him constantly getting in position but no one's looking like Beal is still hear playing…. That's what Poole feels like… Beal 2.0… I'm feeling like Poole is a curse over a gift as it seems like the Wizards are putting too much faith in him delivering…. Kispert and Gaff combo is what i want to see like the end of last season… where's that action?
I envy at the Miami heat commitment to defense. I wish we had better couch.
NO! He still cannot use his left hand. Unless he grows 5 more inches and gains enough weight to reach 275 pounds, he will never be effective. To me Deni doesn’t look as if he has even tried during the off season. Trade him. And the new guys give him a new contract…well it could be the owner. Not much has changed. He is better shooting 3s. 6’ 9” guy needs to drive with both hands.
Pool is not decent at all !!
He is selfish and a defence liability, not worth his salary.
Deni is a double double machine if you let him play.
Does not get as much minutes as he should
To score 14 point when kuz and Poole on the court is hard to do
The Wizards should watch how the Spurs help young guys grow. How they help players to get into rythm even in bad games. Oh and Deni is still 22 years old… So yeah, he is a young guy.
Any contender needs a bulldog in defence who isnt a ball hog.
You joking right?
Deni is the best player in this team.
Poole and Kuzma should be traded to the globetrotters.
Second or third option.. You've talked about Deni MPG, but there is no reason that every time he's starting the game good, he will be benched for 10 minutes until the end of the second quarter. It's hard to get into rhythm like this. He's 22 years old, he's in good shape to play more minutes..
This is my new favorite!
