0:00.0	And away we go, episode one thousand one hundred three of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Thursday, June 26, 2025. The first round of the
0:26.5	2025 NBA draft is complete, and that first round included our wizards having two first round
0:33.4	picks. The Wizards with the number six overall pick took Trey Johnson out of the University of Texas,
0:40.0	and the Wizards with the number 18 overall pick took Walter Clayton Jr. out of the University of
0:46.1	Florida, but the Wizards reportedly are trading Clayton to the Utah Jazz for the University of
0:52.9	Illinois's Will Riley, who the Jazz took with the number
0:56.0	21 overall pick, and the Wizards reportedly are getting the number 43 overall pick in the

1:52.4	The next scheduled installment of this podcast will be for this coming Wednesday, July 2nd.
1:57.5	So no show for this Friday, Monday, or Tuesday, but then back with a show for this coming Wednesday, July 2nd. However, as is always the case with vacation days, if there is major breaking news, I will do my best to do an emergency installment of the podcast. Now, I'm not anticipating any major breaking news in the coming
2:18.9	days, especially this time of year, what traditionally is the quietest time of the year in sports.
2:24.6	But of course, you never know. So if the commanders say fire Dan Quinn, I'll do my best to do
