The Wizards lost to the Nets in their third preseason tune up before the regular season. Despite this, the game saw many encouraging moments alongside some discouraging ones as we continue to learn…
So admittedly, I missed, like, the first six minutes of the game.
I was doing something.
But I caught the rest of it.
So without further ado, AJ Dobonza.
I'll start with, I'll just start at the top of the box score.
AJ Dobonza, um, I thought he was decent tonight.
Nothing crazy.
Hit his first three of the preseason.
Um, and I think he only hit one three in summer league, so it's like his two, second three in a while, which is nice to see it go in, obviously.
Um, he had a couple moments in transition, got to the line a couple times, a couple good moments passing the ball.
But the thing that stuck out with me most with AJ today, and I tweeted it as well, one of my...
Like, people conflate, like, when, when this first game, we played the Knicks in preseason.
Everyone saw the OG defense, and everyone was like, "I can't believe people said, you know, AJ was a bad on-ball defender." Like, you guys are fucking dumb.
Like, all you look is, you know, look at the box, look at the stat sheet or whatever.
You don't even watch games.
And, like, I'm not...
Like, I always-- And you can-- My tweets exist.
You can go find my tweets.
I never thought AJ was necessarily a bad on-ball defender.
I just kinda questioned the engagement.
I questioned the motor, and specifically that more off-ball, like, I ain't question, I questioned that a little bit.
I questioned him as, like, a rebounder.
I questioned him, like, contesting shots, just like that ancillary shit, the little shit in between.
Like, was he willing to go, you know, if he has to rotate to an extra man to close out to the shooter, will he do that? Like, I kinda questioned that.
And he had a quote, and it was like, he basically admitted to being lazy in college.
