In this episode, co-hosts Kevin Broom and Ron Oakes-Cunningham are joined by one of the best follows on Wizards Twitter, Akbar — better known as @fastbreconomics.

Akbar is deeply knowledgeable of key metrics and advanced analytics and brings illumination to the team's strengths and weaknesses. In this wide-ranging discussion, we dissect what the team has done well, what's gone wrong, and how they can address the challenges they face in both personnel and strategy.

Among the topics analyzed:

We also touched on the Houston Rockets' improbable winning streak, the outstanding play during that stretch from former Wizards player Garrison Mathews, and whether Kevin Porter Jr. is an NBA-quality player.

We wrapped up with holiday-style wish list of players who could help the Wizards and are realistic trade targets, if Tommy Sheppard decides to make a move.
