The Hoffman Show

Craig and Christy Winters-Scott kick off Hour 2 by taking a short break from their WNBA Draft preview to show love to the Washington Wizards after Bub Carrington’s electric buzzer-beating game-winner over the Heat in the season finale. While the Wizards didn’t finish with the NBA’s worst record—something many fans were rooting for with draft implications in mind—Craig and Christy highlight why this final stretch was still incredibly valuable for the growth and development of the team’s young core.

Craig and Christy Winters-Scott continue their WNBA Draft preview by breaking down Notre Dame’s Sonia Citron, who’s being mocked to the Mystics with the No. 4 overall pick. Christy offers a detailed scouting report on Citron’s scoring ability, basketball IQ, and potential as an elite defender—drawing a comparison to Craig’s close friend and defensive ace, Alysha Clark. Could Citron be the missing piece to the Mystics’ backcourt? Craig and Christy dive into how she’d complement Washington’s current core.

With the WNBA Draft just hours away, Craig is joined by Christy Winters-Scott to discuss why USC forward Kiki Iriafen has been mocked to the Mystics at No. 3 in multiple projections. They break down what makes Iriafen one of the top prospects in the draft, from her elite footwork to her scoring touch and defensive versatility. Plus, they explore how Iriafen could fit alongside Aaliyah Edwards and Shakira Austin in Washington’s frontcourt and what it could mean for the Mystics’ long-term roster construction.

Alex Ovechkin has made history, and we hear from ESPN’s Steve Levy and TNT’s Eddie Olcyzk about being there for No. 895. On the Nats tip, Ted Leonsis still wants to buy them, and we hear from him on that, as well as GM Mike Rizzo in his weekly Junkies visit. Monumental’s Wes Hall, Wizards guard Bub Carrington, and GM Will Dawkins weigh in on the end of their season, plus author Timothy Gay discusses his upcoming Rory McIlroy book as The Masters gets underway!
