00:00Maybe a more anticipated matchup to be honest would be the one between the Hawks and the
00:08Wizards because at least you have the number one and number two pick facing off later today
00:12and the Wizards are three and a half point favorites over the Atlanta Hawks.
00:15The total is 177 and Risa Shea, of course, from Atlanta, he's going to probably play
00:22in this game.
00:23Saar, I would imagine, would play as well.
00:26When you look at this matchup here, I don't think it's like player versus player, so to
00:30speak, but I think that a lot of eyeballs will be on this game.
00:33Absolutely.
00:34I would say a storyline versus storyline.
00:36There was a lot of reports that Saar wanted no parts with the situation in Atlanta and
00:41now he and his fellow Frenchmen get to go head to head and really see who deserved to
00:45be number one when in reality, we won't learn that from this game.
00:48I do like the Wizards in this one.
00:50The Hawks are going to be without Kobe Bufkin, who was their first round pick from last year
00:54He would have given them that edge as a guy who's actually had a year of NBA experience
00:57under his belt.
00:58I think Risa Shea is going to struggle a little bit, honestly.
01:01I think he's going to be a type of player that benefits from having more talent around
01:04him and he just won't in this summer league game.
01:06So I like the Wizards.
01:08I like to see a nice performance from Saar as well.
