  • Podcast Locked On Wizards host · Analysis · around the league

    Early on, the Wizards failed to get a challenge in on a three-point-attempt foul called on Bilal Coulibaly. The call gave Norman Powell three free throws. Players hovered away from the line to buy time and drew a delay-of-game warning, and the foul was Coulibaly's third. Hosts blame the coaching staff. A successful challenge later partly made up for it.

    • Haize: The host thinks shooting may not be as big a worry as people fear. He pointed to Hawkins, Hield, Leonard Miller looking like a better shooter, Jalen Smith and Norman Powell. at 2:00

    • Pat the Designer: Pat (inferred from turn-taking) says Buddy Hield has a specific shooting job the Bulls can't afford to give to anyone else. Norman Powell is the only other player who stretches the floor that way. Pat would choose Hield over Hawkins. at 18:37

    • Pat the Designer: Pat agrees that Norman Powell is the Bulls' most important offensive player because he can create his own shot. Pat names Caleb Wilson as a maybe and Buddy Hield as other self-creators. at 23:16
    • Pat the Designer: Pat thinks that early this season may be the first time in a long while that Powell is the offensive focal point, with the approach being "get the ball to Norman". He expects Powell to be incredibly consistent for the Bulls. at 24:15
    • Pat the Designer: Pat says Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson will be the main options, but the Bulls will need Powell to win games early until the others figure it out. Pat says Caleb Wilson must take a major step before Powell moves back into a lesser role. at 26:06
    • Haize: Hayes believes Powell would be perfectly fine taking a role behind Caleb Wilson and Buzelis if the team asked him to. at 27:08
