About this episode
On today’s episode of Locked On Wizards, Ben Strober and Abdullah dissect Deni Avdija’s All-Star appearance shortly after being traded from Washington to Portland, debating whether the move was actually the right call for the Wizards’ timeline despite the optics. They examine how Avdija’s success impacts the perception of the Wizards’ rebuild, compare the talented Kyshawn George to Avdija, and look ahead to how George could quickly make fans forget about the trade. The crew also breaks down Bub Carrington’s development, discusses the biggest weaknesses and growth areas for the Wizards’ young roster, and dives deep into the NBA Draft sweepstakes—specifically the heated debate between top prospects AJ Dybansta and Darryn Peterson after their notable matchup. To wrap up, Ben and Abdullah consider whether the Wizards or Trail Blazers are closer to a Conference Finals and why patience is crucial for rebuilding a team.Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
