Beyond Flagg, the article mentions Maluach (Duke C), Edgecombe (Baylor G), Richardson (Mich St G), and Jakucionis (Illinois G) as lottery players to watch in the tournament. Would any of these guys fit with the Wiz if they do not end up with Flagg?

The article mentions Richardson projects as a secondary scorer, Jakucionis as a ballhandler who is skilled but a bit wild, Maluach as underdeveloped offensively but good D / Dunking / Spacing etc... Edgecombe sounds like the most explosive scorer as a 6' 5" wing.

There are guys who fit, but Flagg is far and away the best prospect. You could see a contender with him as the centerpiece, I don’t think you can say that about the others

Flagg should be great and has the size and game. I’ve been impressed with Dylan Harper. Skilled and he has a man’s body. Not sure how accurate but he’s listed as 15 pounds heavier than Flagg. But doesn’t look fat. Next James Harden?

Luckily we’re back on the losing track. Had me worried for a while.

Phew. That was close. Good loss.

I really want Flagg.

Another bad win. As long as they can stay in the top three.

Carrington with an incredible shot as time expired to win.

My money is on either the Mavericks as the price for losing Luka to LA or Philly to keep them competitive now that Embid is washed.

Up to Cooper and where he agrees to play. Or else he will go to BYU for $25 million.

Wiz lottery odds per Finberg:

1: 14.0%
2: 13.4%
3: 12.7%
4: 12.0%
5: 27.8%
6: 20.0%

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #192 on:** April 13, 2025, 06:04:33 pm »

So a little better than 50/50 for a top 4 pick.

Doesn't seem to agree with this. Let me see if I can find the rules.

Never mind; didn't understand at first. Each of the three worst teams has 14% chance at the first overall which is what really matters this year. And 52% for a top 4.

Memphis plays Dallas tonight. If the Grizzlies win, the Wiz get their 1st round pick next year. If they lose, Wiz get 2 second round picks.

Go Grizzlies! Those teams are both a mess.

Kuzma played 22 minutes today. 0 points, assists, and rebounds.

He was the true tank commander. Once he left things went to hell and they started winning games

Grizz won, so the Wiz get the 1st.
