"With an abundance of young talent on the roster, mixed with the veterans like CJ McCollum and Khris Middleton, rotation minutes are growing scarce. That said, head coach Brian Keefe will have several tough decisions to make when the season comes and games begin to count. Following Monday's win over the Knicks, these two players made Keefe's decisions even tougher."
"Bagley earned the start at center on Monday and he showed plenty of potential to be that guy alongside Sarr. Finishing with 19 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists, shooting 7/8 from field goal range, while recording two steals and a block on the defensive end, it's safe to say Bagley fully seized the opportunity to step into the starting lineup."
Washington defeated the New York Knicks in a preseason road game as several young players impressed despite a short-handed roster. Veterans CJ McCollum and Khris Middleton limit available rotation minutes, creating tough decisions for head coach Brian Keefe. General manager Will Dawkins signed Marvin Bagley III to provide a reliable frontcourt presence alongside Alex Sarr. Bagley started at center and produced 19 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists while shooting 7-of-8 and recording two steals and a block. Tristan Vukcevic also delivered a standout performance, increasing competition for meaningful minutes when the regular season begins.
