  • Abdullah Ayubi: Abdul's opinion, hedged as based on one game: DeAndre Ayton looked more comfortable than Alex Sarr. at 5:38
  • Ben Strober: Host analysis: Alex Sarr missed a couple of outside shots. His role 'might' become floor-spacing three-point shooter instead of rim threat, which would mean fewer chances down low. Ben allowed that this may be a one-game thing. at 6:00

• Podcast Locked On Wizards · 3 points · Oct 21

This is the first year the team can really evaluate whether its players can win. at 23:10

  • Ben Strober: Ben says Kyshawn George's and Alex Sarr's contracts will need to be sorted out next season and will likely be big priority deals. He argues a cheaper Coulibaly extension now would make those deals easier. at 26:27
  • Ben Strober: Ben says Trae Young's contract shouldn't stop them paying Sarr and George. Paying all three of Sarr, George and Coulibaly would be pretty difficult, he thinks. at 27:04
