People are SLEEPING on the Wizards adding Cam Whitmore | Lynnell Willingham Joins The Show

The Washington Wizards selected Tre Johnson 6th overall in the NBA Draft. The Wizards need him to become the star this team needs. His former coach at the Link Academy in Missouri, Chad Myers, tells us exactly why he's the piece Washington needed. From a physical and mental standpoint, Tre has all the necessary tools to excel at the next level, according to Myers. Listen to the coach give an incredible interview detailing all he knows about Tre Johnson!

Wizards fans have heard it all offseason...the team needs to lose enough games to keep their draft pick. Well, this is true. BUT they can't be a LAUGHING STOCK anymore! The team needs to show real strides, and today's Locked On Wizards breaks that all down. Who needs to make the biggest impact? What would development look like in a losing season? Ben and Abdullah help make sense of that...plus they tease a special interview coming out on Thursday.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!5-Hour ENERGYTime to fuel up and turn it up with 5-hour ENERGY®️ Transfusion!
