    What’s the chance Dawkins is sleeping tonight? 20% most maybe?

  2. The Good: great shooting night for Kyshawn, played a good all-around game despite the turnovers.

    The Bad: Reed and Cam beat them like a rented mule. Defense was rough.

    The Ugly: Alex Sarr on both ends. That 4v1 where he bricked a 3 summarized his whole game.

  3. Solid-Confidence-966

    George showed off some of that shooting ability out there

    People are going to focus on Sarr but Carrington has a lot to learn with this performance. He struggled to get the offense settled and has a lot to grow as a game manager. If we want Sarr to grow on the offensive end, the guards have to find ways to do so.

    I’m also going to flip a shit if Washington continues to try and make power forwards into centers. Vukcevic and Sarr are not centers.

    Still think Sarr is gonna start this year? That was one of the worst summer league performances I’ve ever seen from a top pick

    Johnny Davis beginning his 2025 all star campaign

  7. Sarr looked rough offensively, he doesn’t play with enough physicality which leads to him taking a lot of jumpers. I also think he picks up his dribble too early.

    Despite not shooting well I liked how aggressive Bub was tonight trying to create his own shot and attack the basket. Hopefully that mentality can rub off on Sarr.

    Kyshawn shot the ball really well today, that’s gonna be his value to this team.

    On a non-wizards note, its summer league and all, but damn Reed Sheppard looks special

    1. build around bub (I said what I said) 2. if Vukcevic thinks he’s gonna shoot 3s and play no defense then he won’t last. 3. Sarr needs work but his mechanics already there. It’s a matter of chosen the right shots and being strong.

  9. Sarr gotta develop a go-to move. Can’t settle for telegraphed fadeaways every time he has no step on the defense.

    Sarr was abysmal. Nothing else to say, truly pathetic game.

    Bub is my fave prospect of the bunch. Lots to learn, needs to figure out how to apply pressure at the rim, and I’d like him to be more selfish at times. Needs to slow things down, and take time reading the floor. I think Brogdon is the PERFECT mentor for him.

    George should sit corner and shoot 3’s and not dribble. Learn how to be a dog on D and become a 3 and D. Should play with the go go at least half the year.

    Get Davis outta here already.

    Everyone else can play for the Go Go, massive 🤷‍♂️

    Forward.

  11. There were a couple possessions in a row where Sarr was the lead initiator and he would take one dribble and stop at the 3 point line and get himself trapped. Hopefully he gets more aggressive with more reps, cuz the next possession he had a nice drive for an easy layup

    1. “Get in the Sarrcophagus” is moronic. It’s like “I can’t think of anything better so I’m going to just run with the only thing someone else thought of”. If you’re the one who came up with it, shame on you. Regardless, going on with this is like trying to make “Fetch” happen. But it’s even stupider when he was frankly awful. Please just stop with this.
    2. No, I’m not being sarrcastic. It’s idiotic. Stop.
    3. “We’re eatin’ cesarr salad tonight!” isn’t any better, don’t go there. Stick with the Wizards bed.

    No one could hit a 3 to save their life.

  14. Sarr settled for a lot of jumpers. Is that how his game was in the NBL? I was under the impression that most of his baskets were around the rim. Seems like the FO just gave him the green light, which is fine but the shot selection was pretty poor. Oh well, summer league gunna summer league.

    Kyshawn is ass bro, didn’t like his first game as much as everyone else and this one was hot garbage. I get it, he’s a 2nd rounder, but like damn he plays like a baby deer just learning to use its limbs

    What does it mean that my heart flutters when I see Wall? Someone tell me
