J.D. Skeets

It's going to be weird next year.

They're getting Trey Young and Anthony Davis back.

So this is not a team that is going to be bottom of the barrel going into next season regardless.

But they have been for the past three seasons.

And we've talked a lot of times, like, their rebuild really needed a star.

So even if they hadn't done the Trey Young-Anthony Davis trades, this would be pretty sweet for Washington to get a guy.

And I'm guessing A.J.

DeBansa seems to be the number one pick, though.

According to Jake Fisher, there is some trade-down potential.

Oh.

uh from the wizards we'll see if it actually happens it worked out pretty well for the celtics once upon a time true uh to trade down from the number one and get some stuff in the future as well we'll see what ends up happening there but you like to see them hang on to the number one pick after uh three years of just being completely trash uh and next year they're an interesting team you know they have some interesting young players they're getting back to all-stars in trey and anthony davis i assume anthony davis will be on the team doesn't

totally feel like a guarantee at this point but i think he'll be there and then if it's a debanza or whoever they end up taking it i don't know if they trade down it'll be like to two or three it won't be very far but they're going to be getting a big time prospect along with a couple of guys they'll probably be back in the play-in mix i would have to imagine so awesome for the wizards pretty cool that john wall was like yeah you bring a number one pick to get a number one pick

Unless Bam Adebayo was scoring 83 points on them.

Anthony Davis is the real NBA draft lottery lottery charm, luck charm, whatever you want to call it.

Isn't this the third time this guy's been on a team and they've won the draft lottery and back-to-back here with Dallas and Washington?

Was he still on the Pelicans when they got it, the one-tiered?

No, they traded him to the Lakers, and then the NBA gifted them the number one pick.

Okay, so son of Williamson.

And he, of course, was the number one pick.

Yeah, that too.
