🫡 Yessir, Good question you asked Jp. Jp is the future for this team. He can lead while he ages. Tyus too good now to stay here for nothing. Kuz and Jp already got rings.
Bscott going to work love to see it 💪 My take has been for months now that without a doubt poole is the better choice because he creates offense because teams like to double which is why his assists numbers jumped to what tyus was at the end of the season and he had much more potential still there to become even better. Tyus is a good player but his game calls for him to be on a contender right now.
Is the Wizards' starting PG even on the roster? Lot of them in this Draft.
Off ourse Jp. Look how Tyus played with JP early this season. JP is a shooting guard that time and what did Tyus did to JP? He was not passing the ball to JP. Only ball hugging and passing to Deni and Kuz. Where can you see a Point guard not passing to Shooting guard. Tyus does that. That why we have the worst record In the early season because of Tyus.
Tyus racked up massive assist numbers for us and played well. Jordan is awesome at creating for himself and then others. Both are good. Tyus is a better starter for this team IMO but Jordan is probably better overall.
It’s been made. Poole’s contract is atrocious, and we’re stuck with him.
They both weak. Bring John Wall back to DC. 💯💯💯
Love Tyus, absolutely love JP…i say we keep em both. We need a tough rugged Center to own the paint, offensively and defensively. Love this young team
If you're talking about a rebuild foundation and culture, so defense is the first important thing they should focus on, but Poole and Jones have no defense at all which will be a problem?… Taking so many irresponsible shots it's not a good example for young players in rebuild, so how you're giving Kuzma to lead?… I don't see a proper rebuild and development happening with Kuzma , Poole and Jones, don't think those suggestions of yours will work!
I watched the exit interviews. It was reported in the Washington Post that Tyus talked about him being PG vs Jordan. How JP having w8rker out when he was injured doesn't mean they're going to take the ball out of his hands.
However on the YouTube video the Wizards completely edited out everything Tyus said about him and Jordan. They just left in him talking about how he wanted to stay.
Realistically the Wizards traded FOR Jordan. They introduced him last summer as a piece of their future and now since the move to PG evevryone can see why.
I think his last 10 games says it all 23ppg, 8 assists and 4.5 rebounds!
Tyus ain't giving you that!
The biggest decision for the off-season is,who's going to be the next coach?? Hope they bring in an experienced coach, no rookie coaches,they usually flop,,
Poole really should be it. They traded for him so they clearly wanted him here.
Poole helps you have 5 out shooter system. Not only can he pass but you need his scoring. Even as badly as he played last season he was still the 2nd leading scorer.
Since the All-star break he averaged 20ppg and 5 assists.
Poole party is it!
Next year, I see him being the leading scorer.
Who has really seen the change that this team had, being better with Jp playing as the main Pg in this new era of basketball, as they say, your Pg should be that scorer and assister with the entire team, not just with Kuzman, and that is what JP did by involving All his teammates, if they really want to win, know what they should do. If the organization brings back Jones it is better that Washington release Poole and in addition Buttler has been very good playing Pg from the Bench they should look at the context so if the GM and the head of operations know what to do and leave Poole of Pg or release him because he cannot have the start of this season again, putting him in a position that is not his and in addition wherever JP goes he will always be a professional and hardworking. I believe in JP.🔥🔥
Tyus Jones is a good guy but Jordan Poole is it. If you watched them with Poole at the point it was faster, and he seemed to really build a great chemistry with everyone on the floor. Even Deni came around. It was cute to see Deni post Jordan trying some treats from his homeland.
Poole's got great court vision and he is "buckets". I just think Poole has more attributes that Tyus doesn't offer.
One thing to bring up too is that Brian Keefe is somone also like with Will and Mike is that he wasnt some in organization guy he has been in winning scenarios for a while it would be solid to bring him back
Both need to go. Poole made be harder to trade but a sucker is born everyday. At least try. Wizards traded for him so another team may also.Both are bench players.
Tyus will be back. JP will come off the bench til they move Tyus. It's about asset management.
I think we should get rid of both Tyus and Poole. Neither 1 is a starter on a playoff team and doesn't take much to put up good numbers on the worst team in the league. If were gonna rebuild then let's draft and young players and develop. The Wiz are gonna be bad next yr too. It doesn't make since to keep them
Sign and trade TYUS JONES for MALCOM BROGDON OR FOR A FUTURE NO.1
Come on Brandon 😂
JP is nothing like John Wall. Wall's speed, vision, passing, and athleticism is leaps and bounds above Pool's. I like JP but please don't compare him to John Wall, at least not yet.
I believe that in the grate scheme of thinks , other factors will determine if JP or Tayus will be part of next years roster :
the position we select in the forthcoming draft, and whether or not Kuz stays.
If we draft a point guard and Kuz remains, both JP and Tyus will be gone. If Kuz leaves and we don't draft a PG, Tyus will be the one to depart because JP will be needed to take shots in clutch key moments.
When you get a chance ask will Dawkins the status of yannick nzosa
It just depends on what standards you use to measure competence and effectiveness. I didn't see any of the comments mentioning winning games as a priority and a determining factor in deciding who to keep and who to let go!
Since winning games does not seem to matter to most people, it really doesn't matter who stays and who goes. The Wizards will get the same results! If they do not change the way they play the game and how they use and develop the talented players they have , they will continue to lose games!
It appears losing has become the mindset with too many of the players, the coaches, fans, and management! Adding more talented players to a team that doesn't care about winning is not going to change a thing! Someone said, " Expecting to get different results when you are thinking the same thoughts, and doing the same thing the same way over and over again, is insanity!" You are just wasting time, energy, resources, and money!
only those worst players want to stay at DC, one is kuz another is tyus bc they get overpaid easily
