The Lead
Some of the NBA’s best players the last decade have been “point forwards.” Among them are LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jimmy Butler, and Paul George. Wednesday’s contest between the Orlando Magic and Washington Wizards featured two of the game’s blossoming point forwards in Franz Wagner and Kyle Kuzma. Both flirted with triple-doubles, as Wagner, despite it coming in a 112-106 loss, tallied 14 points, six rebounds and a career-best 10 assists, while Kuzma registered 19 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists.
