00:00Washington, the big winner there, number one overall pick.
00:03The ping pong balls went their way.
00:04A.J. Dibansa is a minus 500 to be the number one overall pick,
00:09which means he will be a Washington Wizard.
00:12By the way, let's hear from A.J. Dibansa right now, Joe.
00:15All right, A.J., what was your reaction when the Wizards got the number one pick?
00:22You know, obviously I've been better on myself for a little while to be a number one pick.
00:26So initially just thinking like, you know, how I would fit into the team.
00:30I think I'm pretty versatile, adaptable, so I can play with any words.
00:34It's very tense in this room.
00:37This is probably your first experience doing this.
00:39What was it like sitting there waiting for the news?
00:42Me, confidently, I wasn't really worried about 14-3.
00:46So I was kind of set to play out.
00:48But then when all the guys sat there for the top four, I was like,
00:50all right, yeah, it's kind of getting real.
00:52See what number one pick will be.
00:54What do you know about the city of Washington and what it would be like to?
01:00Yeah, so, I mean, I know a little bit.
01:04Jordan Brent Classical was there last year.
01:06So got to tour their facility a little bit.
01:09I know a couple of the players.
01:10Trey Johnson played against the Natalie.
01:13Who else on the team?
01:14I mean, I've been watching AED for a long, long time.
01:17Trey Young, even when he's at Oklahoma.
01:19So I know a couple of guys there.
01:22I know you had an interaction with John Wall on Amazon Prime, right?
01:26What does it mean to you to follow in his footsteps
01:28and have him on the stage when they got the number one pick?
01:31No, it's cool.
01:32Yeah, I've been knowing John for just my EYBO days.
01:34He came to one of my sessions and was trying to give me some advice.
01:37And I really appreciate it.
01:45I mean, it's been tiring.
01:47I've been working constantly, putting a lot of weight, getting a lot of shots up.
01:51Tired wrists, tired arms.
01:53But it's been good.
01:54I'm ready for it.
01:58Joe, where did he want to go there?
02:00Because apparently when they asked him,
02:01hey, man, Washington got that number one pick,
02:03he's like, ooh, tough scene.
02:06Yeah, yeah.
02:07Well, I love the fact that they had Luther playing in the background there
02:10the entire time during that interview.
02:12Outstanding stuff there.
02:13But also, who knew John Wall would be the rabbit's foot there
02:18for the Washington Wizards?
02:20By the way, they have lost enough games
02:23over the last five years to deserve the number one pick
02:26for five years out of the last, what, six or seven?
02:30But they always somehow managed to lose out the teams like Dallas
02:34with a lower percentage gets the number one pick.
02:38Should have been Washington.
02:39They got a whole lot of number two picks,
02:42but they finally got a number one pick.
02:44And Donnie, what is maybe the most loaded franchise-changing draft
02:49that we have seen in a very long time coming out of college
02:52and the Wizards and John Wall pulled it off.
02:55So kudos.
02:56I think they're going to be pretty competitive moving forward.
