Defensive Issues: Transition and Shell Drill

On today’s Locked On Wizards, Ben Strober and Abdullah Ayubi dive deep into the swirling rumors about Cam Whitmore’s practice habits and what they really mean for his future with the Washington Wizards. The hosts unpack new reporting, respond to the online reaction, and share insights about the team’s long-term vision. Drawing from expert sources and their own coverage, they discuss why Whitmore’s temporary benching is more about culture and accountability than any final verdict on his talent. Plus, they touch on the importance of professionalism, how young players develop, and what to expect from Whitmore and the Wiz from now on. The episode also checks in on injuries, upcoming practice intensity, and shares some lighter moments on NBA etiquette.
