He definitely isn't natural, but is strangely athletic for a guy with no muscle definition. He is just bullying guys routinely now.

no because he didn't start until after the trade deadline and they were in to big of a hole despite being the 6th best team after it. The next year they went into the season with rookie Neto starting and bum Trey Burke backiing him up instead of getting the vet they needed in other words still trying to tank despite the great finish the year before. Gobert missing a month sealed their fate. The next year the tank was off because Hayward was going to be a free agent. Hasn't missed the playoffs since despite the crappy teams around him

it's always a team game. Can only go as far as the talent on the floor.

Yep than they let their best player go so Kanter and Favors could become the stars they were never going to be, It's called tanking. You should be pretty familiar with the concept

This is actually the first year of intentional tanking from the Wizards that i can remember. They are the experts at unintentional tanking though.

Tbh I would rather see more threads about up and coming players vs players who we have seen play 10 plus years in the league already. It’s like we already know what it is at that point.

That contract looking really good. Technically he broke out at the right time right after getting his contract. Once poole gets benched or traded wizards are built nicely for a drafted star to come in or they can go other route and trade everyone for assets

Yeah we lucked out with the contract timing.
Now about that Poole contract.....

agreed. The big name guys are the newsmakers so you kind of have to acknowledge them and what they’re up to but how much is left to say?
I barely even know who this guy is. One night while waiting for a game. I actually care about. I may actually turn on the wizards game to see what he’s doing. Nothing anybody can say here about most stars is going to get me to watch anything I wouldn’t otherwise have watched.

I think Kuzma has been helping Deni. In the Mavs game there was a play where Deni had the ball up top with Luka on him. He was about to swing the ball to Kuzma and Kuzma empatically waved him off, telling him to go at Luka.
I am frankly tired of watching Kuzma jacking up contested jumpers but apparently he is pretty popular in the locker room. Seems like Deni is quick to pass to him.

He was actually drafted by denver bt. Then immediately got traded to utah. But yes, the latter had a winning record even before they got him.

He was drafted by Denver for the Jazz. The winning record was soon gone when Millsap waslet go and Favors and Kanter were playing instead. A year plus of tanking and then Gobert emerged and the rest is history
