Craig is joined by David Aldridge of The Athletic to break down the massive significance of this year’s NBA Draft — especially for the Washington Wizards. Aldridge explains why Cooper Flagg is viewed as a franchise-altering prospect in the mold of Anthony Davis and discusses the gap between Flagg and Dylan Harper, the projected No. 2 pick. Both, he says, can immediately raise a team's floor. David closes the conversation by voicing what every Wizards fan is thinking: “I hope Wizards fans get a break today.”
