"The Washington Wizards open their season on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. Washington's busy offseason has plenty of eyes on them, at least in comparison to the eyes that were on them when the season came to an end in April. The Wizards have the chance to prove they could be a sleeper in the wide open Eastern Conference this season and with a prime opportunity to knock off a playoff team, expect Washington to come out swinging."
"The Miami product has everything needed to be a star in Washington and his development on the court, mixed with his work ethic and improved confidence has added a sense of belief in the fanbase and the Wizards coaching staff that he could be a building block in D.C. for years to come. Hence to why the Wizards coaching staff has asked George to take on more r esponsibilities as a leader."
The Washington Wizards open the season on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks following a busy offseason that has increased expectations. The roster carries sleeper potential in a wide open Eastern Conference and presents an opportunity to upset a playoff-caliber opponent. Kyshawn George arrives as a hyped breakout candidate, with on-court development, work ethic, and growing confidence prompting coaches to expand his leadership role. Cam Whitmore, a former first-round pick from Villanova, could outscore Kyle Kuzma off the bench. Tristan Vukcevic, on a two-way contract, showed offseason progress training with Nikola Jokic and could be an impactful bench big.
