I asked Draymond Green what he thought about the Wizards’ young core and his answer was…incredible. “That’s the first time we’ve seen a Washington Wizards team play that hard in years, and it’s because of [Bub and Kyshawn’s] energy.”. Kyshawn jawed with him all night. Respect.

This exact same clip was going viral a year ago when Washington signed Ekeler, Ertz, Wagner, and Mariota, then they made the NFC Championship.

FINAL: Jazz 86, Wizards 76. AJ Johnson was once again the Wizards' catalyst on offense but was much more efficient than last night: 25 points off 10-16 shooting. Cody Williams had 23 while Isaiah Collier had 17. Washington has one more SL game remaining before they head home.

Before the Wizards take on the Jazz in SL game #4 tonight, here's a story on Jamir Watkins' historic outing yesterday, plus some tidbits on VJ Edgecombe, AJ Johnson and more! 👇

Question by @HenryJNBA, shoot him a follow 🎯.

Jamir Watkins on his shooting after 8-steal night:. “That was the only question people had of me coming into the league. I think I’m taking care of business on the defensive side, so once I start to knock down those shots, it’s gonna start to look real good.”

FINAL: 76ers 74, Wizards 58. Jamir Watkins was a clear standout tonight: tied a SL record 8 steals to go along with three blocks, 10 points and just one foul. An undermanned WSH held VJ Edgecombe to a poor shooting day (4-14 FG), but he still managed to put up 15 points.

VJ Edgecombe in his last game (7/5 vs. Utah): 13-27 FG, 28 pts, 10 reb. VJ Edgecombe tonight vs. Washington (so far): 3-13 FG, 12 pts, 4 reb.

ESPN now has Watkins credited with his 8th steal of the game, which, if it stands, would tie the all-time Summer League record. Incredible outing for the rookie tonight.

Jamir Watkins is playing really incredible defense. Just had two consecutive steal-and-scores. Now up to six (!) steals, three blocks and eight points on the day.

Commanders owner Josh Harris is here in Vegas watching his 76ers take on the Wizards in Summer League. Sitting alongside Elton Brand, Bob Myers, Daryl Morey and Nick Nurse.

It is 13-7 at the end of the first quarter. 20 combined points after 10 minutes. Washington and Philly shooting a combined 6-33 (18%) from the field.

The Wizards are having Jamir Watkins guard No. 3 overall pick VJ Edgecombe to start this game. Doing well so far.

RT @chasedcsports: Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington, Kyshawn George, Tre Johnson III and Will Riley are all OUT tonight against the Sixers, per th….

It'll be interesting to see if Tre Johnson is active for today's game against Philly. Seeing him going up against VJ would be a treat. Inactives coming soon.

Hard to imagine Kyshawn George will play today vs. Philadelphia, but his defense against Brooklyn was impressive. Watch the hand work on these steals (he finished with 5). Quickly becoming a great perimeter defender.

I arrived in Las Vegas on Saturday and have not seen a fruit or vegetable since I left Dulles.

RT @WizPRStats: The Washington Wizards have requested waivers on center Richaun Holmes.

Tre Johnson on defensive tenacity, which has not historically been one of his strong suits but has been on display in Vegas:. “None of the coaches, none of the front office care if I score. They just care if I play defense. That’s all they talk to me about.” 👀

Tre Johnson in two Summer League games:. 39 points.14-24 FG.5-11 3PT.6-10 FT. Wizards overall leading scorer in SL thus far.
