This week in Wizards talk

The shows spent the week on the Wizards' opening night, where Anthony Davis looked like an All-Star in his debut and led Washington to a blowout win. Hosts praised DeAndre Ayton's energy and rookie Bub Carrington, though there's skepticism about the team's ceiling as a fringe East contender. The talk also touched on whether rookie AJ Dybantsa could win Rookie of the Year and whether coach Brian Keefe might be an early firing candidate.
