The Wizards emerged from the 2022 NBA summer league with a 3-2 record, a positive scoring differential, and one of Las Vegas’s three most productive players, and the whole thing was still disappointing. In this episode, Kevin is joined by Matt Modderno, host of the Bleav in Wizards podcast, for an analysis of the summer league experience. We get into positives and negatives, and examine everything from roster construction to what's reasonable to expect from a five-game "season" lasting about 10 days.

Make sure to check out the companion podcast on the Bleav in Wizards stream where Matt and I discuss the types of players the Wizards seem to value. Based on recent draft picks and the Wizards' Summer League additions, it's questionable whether the player archetypes they prioritize are actually all that valuable or effective in today's NBA. Based on that, we discuss how valuable Corey Kispert's skillset actually is and who are his closest statistical comps (aka dopplegangers). You might be surprised to find out whose statistical profile most closely mirrors his so far. We also make the case for why Corey Kispert and Deni Avdija should have played at Summer League.
