  1. the League is almost back to points in the paint / post moves & mid-range thanks to AJ Dybantsa & CoOper Flagg.

  2. I remember my first interview getting a scholarship at this d2 christian school i was all over the place on the questions brung christ in it an said i want to bring a championship thêre lol

  3. 👀👀👀🙌🏾🎊🎉 I am loving what I am seeing. I was worried when I saw his reaction during the announcement that the Wizards have the number one pick. We are glad to have him, for sure.💯💪🏿

  4. Incoming bust…enjoy those contested mid range jumpers washington and shit 3 point shooting lol

  5. Bro balling on the same mfers he balled on in college shits gonna be too easy for him

  6. He’s going to have to bulk up at his size he’s good but I think he may get humbled a bit lol he not realizing he will be going up against guys like Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Giannis, Lebron, Kawhi, Mikal bridges, Banchero, he will have some tough comp

  7. I feel like this draft class will end up like 2018 in the sense that so many players are going to be very relevant for a long time. Except a 10x better 1st round pick in this one.

  8. Ehhh I dunnoo
    Bro shot 38% from the field and 0% from three as well. Also almost half his points (48%) came from his 13 free throws. First summer league game is solid nonetheless, and once he starts incorporating his midrage into his game, he'll be looking much better. As of now tho, Imma go with DP, yeah they play diff positions, and yes I think AJ's team won still, but I feel DP had more imapct and a more polished look and feel to his game, however I will say again ik they play diff positions. Solid ass game, a force going downhill, it's giving sga.

  9. Chris Jackson 0:14 A.K.A
    Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf

    The first Steph Curry was banned from the NBA bcuz of his Muslim beliefs.

    There's highlights of him playing in the Big 3.

    Also he played with Shaq at LSU.

    Don't know why she didn't call him by his name.

  10. #nba #wizards #aj.dybantsa

    omg 😱 we surely saw why #1 is who he is. Each possession & the entire real bench stood up when he marked that dunk. His performance was nothing short of a player knows this game and isn’t afraid to take control. He didn’t seem bothered and don’t send him to the FT line – he’s sinking all shots. I’m proud of this guy !

  11. I think he will need to add about 10-15 pounds of muscle to handle the rigors of the NBA.

  12. All those people overhyping this dude. Only the real one knows he's gonna be the next RJ Barrett or kyle kuzma at best. Dude is good at milking himself and advertisements. DP is the real deal, mark my words.

  13. The midrange is a good sign 🪧 that the 3 point shot will eventually come , great finisher as expected.

  14. I’ve never seen 2 guys from back 2 back drafts dominate immediately the way him and cooper are can’t even lie

  15. I’m sorry for some reason he gives me Andrew Wiggins vibes…think he’ll be a bit over hyped. But he has a roster, long as he not carrying a team out the gate.

  16. Bro has such patience and good control of the ball, it looks as if the ball is stick to his hands in most of the possessions 🫪
