00:00Well, three people didn't play last night that probably can be a help throughout this season.
00:05Vucevic, DeBonsa, and also Raleigh, because JP's upset.
00:09I was about to ask.
00:09JP and Ryan are upset.
00:10Listen, we're in a new—
00:12But those three guys installed, that's still an extra plus.
00:18I think they're deep this year compared to normal years where you knew what they had and they had nothing
00:23else coming.
00:25Yeah, absolutely.
00:26I mean, there's so much depth that they're not going to be able to play everyone every night.
00:30And, you know, to just highlight Will Riley, he's a guy who was really impressive in the preseason, really impressive
00:36in the summer league, and also, you know, in the last quarter of last season.
00:41They were playing him a lot.
00:42They were playing him at point guard.
00:43He was passing every test.
00:45But I think it's just an indication that some guys are just going to have to wait their turn.
00:50And, you know, I think it's a little bit different than some other rebuilds where, like, I always think of,
00:56like, the Sixers when they did the process.
00:58Like, they threw a bunch of things against the wall.
01:00They got a bunch of first-round picks.
01:02And, like, half of them, if not more, just completely flamed out of the league, right?
01:05They picked a bunch of guys who ended up being busts.
01:08I think this is a very different situation where they have a lot of guys who have already proven that
01:13they have high floors and probably going to have long NBA careers.
01:17Like, Will Riley, I think, is going to be a guy who plays, like, at least a decade.
01:21I think the way the Wizards have done that is they have drafted guys with positional size so they're not,
01:27you know, a step slow or a couple inches too short when they're on the court.
01:31And also, they have the intangibles where they work hard.
01:34They're versatile.
01:35And so it gives them a very high floor.
01:36So all these guys are going to have long careers.
01:38It's just you can't play all of them every night.
