Wiz Ball Spaces returns! In our first show back from the depths of the offseason the Wiz Ball Spaces community recapping every move of the Wizards offseason assigning grades to each move. As we begin…
Anyways, let's start with the, let's start with the draft.
That was the real start of the offseason.
AJ D'Aponte drafted first overall, and let's slap a grade on it.
Let's slap a grade on it.
I mean, for me, is this anything other than an-- I say is this, this, it's A plus.
It can't be anything other than A plus.
Yeah, I mean it's, it's, it's A plus, and I think I would've given it an A plus if it was Boozer or Derrick, right?
Yep.
I agree.
I agree.
I think it's imp-
Like it's interchangeable within the three and like I, I don't think you can gimmick and be like, "Oh, maybe it's a B plus 'cause we should have taken Cam..." Fuck that.
I think if you got the number one role pick-
It's A plus
... it's A plus no matter what, really.
Yeah.
No, I think, you know, you got your franchise guy.
I mean, and wh- you know, AJ's gonna get his PR over the course of this season, but I mean like, look You know, and I, I, I, I try not to rehash things because we just-- We talked about it for an entire season.
But at the end of the day, our last three years since Will Dockens took over in twenty-twenty-three, it's two thousand and twenty-six now, three years we've been shit.
And the entire purpose of us being shits was to get AJ Dibonsa.
Well, it wasn't to get exactly AJ Dibonsa, it was to get Cooper Flag, it was to get whoever, but we ended up with AJ Dibonsa.
He was just a lucky one.
We got lucky in lottery.
It's that guy, right? It was to get your franchise guy, and we got it now.
So whichever form that takes, I mean, this, this was always the goal, right? So th-it can't be anything but an A.
