One of wiggy most ridiculous take was his criticism of Bogdanovic when the Wiz acquired him. Dude made Bogy seem like some bum

Seems like he's finally healthy too. Which I'm sure is helping.

Between his Dad's mouth, injuries, the Lakers drama and Magic proclaiming him...well...the next Magic, he didn't really get a fair shot in LA.

Looks like in NOLA he is getting to just play, work on his game and not have to deal with a lot of other bullshit.

Hopefully, he can keep developing.

I don't know if he'll ever be good enough to justify his draft status, but at least he can have a solid enough career that he won't be viewed as such a bust.

Embiid might miss a couple of games after dislocating his finger

I agree 100%.

I learned not to argue with Wiggy for more than 2-3 days at most then I ignore it until i'm bored again
say what ya will, but gets boring without that type (and, yeah, I get I'm often "that type" here....but go places I am not and like this type of person to be around). Since he's been gone there have been many down times and his name gets mentioned a lot.

Eh.

I agreed with him on that.

The Wizards have always squandered assets to get marginally better when they had no chance of actually winning.

It's obvious Lonzo should have never been taken # 2 but at least he's not Markelle Fultz.

My problem with him is that he acted like Bogy was a bum. It was a late first rounder if I recall but Wiz needed to keep him to make it worth it. He was just a rental and left that summer to Indy

Yeah, I don't know. Depends on what happens over the rest of his career.

I've heard it said that it takes 4-5 years for a point guard to completely develop. He's in his 3rd season. He's also missed almost an entire season of games in that 3 years.

I agree that he's not likely to ever be viewed as being worthy of a #2 pick, but he's only 22, so he's definitely young enough that he has plenty of time to change that.

Yeah, not sure what the hell happened to Fultz. That's got to be one of the weirdest things I've seen. It's like he got the world's worst case of the yips or something.

At least with Lonzo there are things you can point to as factors that have hurt him.

Right.

And my issue with the move was that the Wizards were never going to keep him. Had they done so it might not have been so bad.
