- New Washington Wizards general manager Will Dawkins meets with the media after the 2023 NBA Draft where he led the team in selecting Bilal Coulibaly at No. 7 and Tristan Vukcevic at No. 42.

I like the new direction
I've been watching the Bullets/Wizards since the mid 70s. I can add up all the times I've heard the word "plan" in the past 4 decades, and it doesn't equal the number of times Mr. Dawkins used that word today. What a change! A plan! That they actually follow and start to enact!!!
Like Poole and Tyus and the other add ons, Wizards are going to be fun to watch.
15 win season: But they sure were fun to watch!
🤮
Wes got a big job on his hands developing these young guys
Americans don’t realize yet how good is bilal coulibaly
@@AmaraDiane75I just watched his highlights I see it and I think he's got room to grow up to about 6'10 maybe even 6'11 and with his wing span I think in the long run he'll be better than Victor based purely on the fact I don't think Vic we'll be able to stay healthy but unless he can put about 25-35 pounds of muscle 💪🏽 depending on what his body can handle because his legs are like toothpicks.
@@YC-zw5eb lol you’re talking about highlights kid I’ve seen them play both in live all year long I’m from paris, France and bilal will be a top player no doubt but Wemby is just way way better he is just a generational talent I’ve never seen anyone like him don’t even compare him with bilal, next time to talk about what you don’t know if you just been seeing some highlights
@@AmaraDiane75 I agree with you 100% if he can stay healthy and no disrespect to the French league that he was playing in but I think we all can agree with the fact that it's no where close to the level of compation as the NBA. I've watched 3 full games that Victor has played in one being a clutch finals game where he only scored 8 points and from what I can tell he can't stand people getting physical with him. He's 7'5 built like an ironing board just like the white boy from OKC last year who tore his ACL before he made it out of the summer league. But as a black American man I'm rooting for them both because I'm not sure if you noticed they're both black brothers I wanna see them both do well. I just hope that Victor can stay healthy in the long-run. But remember who told you Bilal Coulibaly might be better than Vic in the long-run strictly based on ability to stay healthy. If both are healthy I think Vic will be better but he has to be available and he can't choke like he did in the finals with that 8 point game.
@@YC-zw5eb this black brothers thing is in US but sorry no disrespect men but we aren’t into this here , Victor and Sidi like me are black Africans brothers it’s nothing you can compare with black Americans our vibe and culture is so different, don’t compare Africans with Americans it’s something tough for you to understand I guess and I don’t blame you for it it’s another culture and mentality
Wes unseld junior needs to be next to go. And start fresh with a new coach and coaching staff. Rui developed more in a few months with the Lakers than all the time he was at wizards. God can only help deni develop under this staff. Clean slate for all.
I agree 💯
Great speaker
Tired of being the lost organization and sick of losing. We deserve better. 😭
I say this in all honesty for the first time in all of my 39 years I am excited about what the wizards are building I wish we could've kept Rui Hachimura but other than that I like what we are building if we're going to be bad record wise let's at least we can see the future is bright. I'm not sure if Wes is the right coach for what they are trying to build I think they should hire Caron Butler as the next HC and let him bring that Heat Culture to the Wizards 🪄🧙♂️ plus he's a Wizards legend I would love to see that! Side note Pause Will you trippin with all that Pause " touch the guy's" Pause shid at the end let that be your last time saying shid like that you're representing DC now.
Welcome to The District! Get Ben's Chili Bowl and then some W's. Good luck. It's a new day for basketball in DC!
such a breath of fresh air to hear our front office focusing on the "long term approach". Ernie and Tommy always with terrible short sighted moves with zero thought about down the line. Ted should have made these changes years ago.
They only had 2 weeks to pull this off..... Impressive
THUMBNAIL LOOKS LIKE CHRIS SMOOVE
The Wizards Youth Movement
guys do urself a favor and watch in what team Tristan played in (Partizan) and in what kind of atmosphere this kid is used to playing in. And the aba league is no joke!
His pronounce kou le bale
How about a newer and easier to pronounce nickname for Bilal if he can play...Bill Cool.
Ted Leonsis is a awful owner as far a building a real NBA Franchise. This litterally is the Wiz starting over from scratch just to do so. No reason that roster should not have made the playoffs last season. Its a combination of owner bad coaching and bad front office. Im sorry but I have no faith in a positive rebuild
Why did Indiana draft him
We didn't want him
I didn't understand that.
They gave up a first Rd pick next yr for no reason.
We knew Indiana was getting a power forward
Anyone know??
We didn't give up a #1 next year in trade. It was a 2nd.
Other teams were trying to trade with the Pacers to draft Bilal is what they said last night, and the Wiz wanted him so they moved up.
Who cares that he wasn't the Pacers guy? Teams like who they like. You draft who YOU like, not who the Pacers like.
It's rumored that the Jazz was trying to go after their guy.
Your right. It was Denver. They have 4 first Rd we get their lowrst
Pacers got the steal of the whole draft. Better then Bilal or whatever
And at the 55 spot. Isaiah Wong
Watch his highlights
Ridiculous
@@JasonHall-zb7jz Yeah, TBH I don't know what to think of Bilal. They are talking now that it might take 3-4 years for him to be a starter. Yikes.
@@nealm6764what did u watch
I want the Wizards to win. None of this rebuilding stuff.
Rebuilding the only way to win in todays NBA
@@nixsosa. The Wizards have been losing for a long time. I want them to become real contenders. I’m tired of waiting.
@@russ5896 the only way is by accumulating assets and developing talent through rebuilding.
We don’t have a market that star agents want to come to. Blow the team up and develop/take on bad contracts w picks and set up winning the right way
Sad that year after year we always draft foreign guys. It’s like ever since they disrespectfully traded John Wall they seemed to be gentrifying the team much like the real DC.
The team has to match the grit and toughness of DC just like Miami. This ain’t San Antonio man. This is wack. DC is/was Chocolate City we love our people aswell. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
They don't always draft foreigners. Bilal Coulibaly has skills, athleticism, and is a wing that fits the modern NBA. If he pops, he can become a star. This is a new regime. Will Dawkins is bringing the OKC model to DC.
@@faisalamalo3695Ima lifelong Wiz/John Wall fan they only trade for and draft soft ahh foreigners. Its sick. Becausethis is DC. Black culture lives here in the DMV. And the owner and front office continue to get players from elsewhere. Idc what no one says they’re doing it on purpose. No one will ever replace John Wall to DC. 💯💯💯
lol , bold thing to write in these times
L comment
😂 comments like these always remind me fan is short for fanatic. I bet if turns out to be the next Gianis, you wouldn't have a problem... you don't know these kids make up.. they're not even in the city yet and there's already complaining
