Shock. Laughter. Tears. Okay, maybe not tears, but a report from Michael Scotto of Basketball Insiders that NBA teams are interested in former Wizard Jan Vesely certainly brought out a range of emotions for Wizards fans.
He is the current regime’s biggest bust, and we still joke that we shouldn’t sign Blake Griffin because he’s the American Jan Vesely. Meanwhile, Youtube commenters joke that he scored more on draft night than he did in his entire career.
Adding insult to injury, All-NBA level players like Klay Thompson and Kawhi Leonard were available in the lottery to mid first round, and Jimmy Butler, another All-NBA talent, went with the last pick in the first round.
