Report: Wizards promote Amber Nichols to VP of Basketball Operations and Personnel
The Washington Wizards have promoted Amber Nichols to vice president of basketball operations and player personal, HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reported Tuesday. Nichols previously served as the Wizards’ director of amateur evaluation. Before that role, she served as general manager of the Capital City Go-Go — Washington’s G League affiliate. Wizards general manager Will Dawkins praised […]
What do Vukcevic’s doppelgangers tell us about whether he can earn a role?
When the Wizards selected Tristan Vukcevic with the 42nd overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, I thought it was something of a steal. He was 25th in my YODA rankings — the last player in 2023 to notch a first-round grade in my stat-based prospect evaluation process. So, I had hopes. Not exactly high […]

SB Nation Reacts: Fans believe a Wizards player could be on Team USA sooner rather than later
Thank you all for voting in our SB Nation Reacts survey this week. It was about when you thought a Washington Wizards player would make the USA Basketball men’s national team as a Wizards player. I won’t lie. The 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup inspired me to make this question of the week. Three Washington […]

The Spain women’s national basketball team defeated Germany, 83-53 in Berlin on Friday evening. It was the first game of Group A play in the FIBA Women’s World Cup between both teams.

Could Tre Johnson be the next…
One of the Tre Johnson comps produced by The Statistical Doppelganger Machine has me…hmm…the words “kinda stoked” flowed from brain to fingers to keyboard to screen. But “kinda” and “stoked” don’t really go together, so…let’s just go with “stoked.” Editor’s Note: Kevin, you just used the words together while talking about how they don’t go […]
FIBA Women’s World Cup 2026: How much will Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen play?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen will be playing for the United States in the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup.

FIBA Women’s World Cup 2026: Alicia Florez makes Spain’s roster
On Monday, FIBA announced Spain’s final roster for the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup. Washington Mystics guard Alicia Florez was announced as one of the players. As a 22-year-old, Florez will probably not play major minutes for Spain, who will look to make their first championship game since 2014 and their first World Cup Gold […]

Can Riley improve fast enough to earn playing time with the newly competitive Wizards?
The Wizards got a fascinating prospect when they chose Will Riley 21st overall. He’s 6-9, skilled, has a funky tough-to-defend (especially if refs keep letting him use that carry elongated hesi dribble) game, and a good helping of competitive moxey. He had some good moments last season, though I was less enamored with even “the […]

The majority of you thought he should at 82 percent. That said, his odds of winning […]

Bilal Coulibaly and Alex Sarr not in France’s latest FIBA World Cup qualifiers
The France men’s basketball team defeated Slovenia, 92-67 yesterday in Paris at Accor Arena. The Washington Wizards have Bilal Coulibaly and Alex Sarr as part of the pipeline. They were not named for the roster yesterday however. Sarr is recovering from foot surgery earlier this offseason, but he should be ready to go this fall. […]
Is Bub Carrington the second coming of a Defensive Player of the Year winner?
Another trip through The Statistical Doppelgänger Machine, and another case of ambivalence. On one hand, the comps feel about right. On another hand, they’re not that thrilling. On still another hand, I like a couple (one is someone I’ve suggested Carrington model himself after), and I’m generally okay with another. Like most Wizards fans, I […]
