Show Notes
We talk about the emergence of rookie Tristan Vukcevic, whether they've found a diamond-in-the-rough in Jared Butler, and if Jordan Poole has finally turned a corner. We also talked about Deni Avdija's recent play and how he's been the Wizards' best player the last few months. Also, Matt asks what the benefit there is from playing Anthony Gill over some of the young guys, if any other young players have a chance to contribute long term, and gives a recap of the Capital City Go-Go's playoff elimination. We close the show by discussing Ted Leonsis's failed move to Virginia. Presented by betonline.ag!
