"Yeah. Uh, up until last year, I was on the ball pretty much my whole life. But, uh, at Kansas, they put me off the ball. Coach said it gave our team the best chance to win. So, I'm a winner. And, uh, he said that. So, that's what I was going to do."

"Uh, I think something that's huge in the NBA right now is like gravity. I feel like uh the court I'm on, I get a lot of gravity. I feel like there's I'm getting guarded by all five guys sometimes. So, I think it'll be easy for me to make plays for my teammates with all the gravity that I think I might get at the next level."

During his interviews, He emphasized that he is "a winner," so when his coach at Kansas decided it gave the team the best chance to win if he played off the ball, he accepted that role without question.

He noted that teams were surprisingly not asking too many questions about his medical history, as he felt he had already provided clarity through his previous discussions with ESPN.

He opened up about the mental challenges he faced last year while dealing with health issues he didn't fully understand at the time. He explained that finally identifying the cause helped him mentally recover and return to his peak athletic form.

Both John Wall and Gilbert Arenas say Wizards should take Darryn Peterson with the first. Whats yall thoughts on that? John Wall big into college basketball to. So I wonder what they see in DP over AJ and Boozer.

Do we have a chant for when we back up and competing? Like "Let's go Wiz!" or something? I was thinking about a "WIZARDS BED!" chant but thought it might not be appropriate with kids/families around. It'd be cool to start a trend here in the sub that we all could agree on and see/hear it during a game or on tv.

What future for him?

Kidd is a well respected and accomplished head coach. He would be a, likely, upgrade over Keefe. Even though the team has come out and said Keefe will be back - shouldn't we at least kick the tires on Kidd?

Hey y’all, I’m doing a community mock draft for the 1st round of the NBA Draft which the results will be updated each day on r/NBADraft. Since Washington has the #1 pick, y’all will be going first. I was inspired by someone doing a similar thing for the NFL draft. Y’all will have a poll with 3 options(no trades unfortunately), and whichever player gets the most votes will be the pick for that spot

Wemby is fucking real and only 22. The Thunder are not going anywhere. Jokić and Luka exist.

Three cheers for being in the cup cake conference!
