00:00C-Mill, you've done this a long time, both in the sideline capacity
00:04and now it's play-by-play.
00:06You've been there for some good times.
00:07You've been there for some rough times.
00:09How excited are you for this Wizards season to start?
00:13This is the most excited I've been in J.P. and Doc
00:15since probably the 2016-17 season.
00:18I think that was Scott Brooks' first year.
00:20That team won 49 games.
00:22John Wall was probably at his superpower best.
00:26I haven't been this excited since then.
00:28I've understood what the last three years have been about.
00:32The patience of this fan base, I think, should be celebrated
00:36throughout the course of this year and moving forward
00:38that they stayed loyal to it.
00:40They understood what the front office was trying to do
00:43the last three years of getting these kids leveled up
00:46in terms of their development.
00:48Now it's time to level them up from a competitive standpoint.
00:51I think that's why you add a Trey Young and Anthony Davis
00:54and then you get the number one overall pick in A.J. Devonta.
00:57It's on.
00:58It's on now.
00:59Finally, I'm ready to see this team go out
01:01starting tonight against Milwaukee
01:03and show what they've been working on
01:07really during what Will Dawkins calls the jump season.
01:10I can just tell you from having a courtside view
01:12the first four preseason games,
01:15all of these kids have improved
01:16in some shape, form, or fashion.
