It was the quickest six points I've ever witnessed in my life. Off the basket, Norwich took the ball out with two timeouts in the chamber. Smid smothered her matchup on the inbound pass, eventually coming up with a steal and a short bank shot to tie the game. Norwich took the ball out again -- and once again, Smid collected another steal.

"Nanterre shaped me as a player and as a man," Wembanyama said in a statement on Tuesday.

Considering his second-year leap, averaging 15.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists, while shooting an extremely efficient 44.1% from field goal range and 37.7% from beyond the arc, it seemed like a no-brainer for the Miami product to be included in the All-Star Weekend fun.
The Washington Wizards have long been considered one of the worst teams in the league. However, thanks to the new front office regime of general manager Will Dawkins and President of Monumental Basketball Michael Winger, change seems to be on the horizon. Between the team's talented young core filled with high-upside prospects, a head coach in Brian Keefe, who's seemingly built something that players can buy into and the assets accumulated over the years to make bold moves, Washington has slowly but surely rising from the mud.
