Warmed up after halftime, Kris Humphries sat down. Humphries knew where his seat was. Though he started Tuesday night’s game against the Indiana Pacers, Humphries had not been off the bench since being removed from the game less than five minutes into it.
The Washington Wizards’ trek into small-ball life is still meandering. The Wizards need to figure out if Humphries can stay as the “stretch four” against exceptionally small teams like the Pacers. Washington coach Randy Wittman is still deciphering how to use his guard-loaded bench. Jared Dudley is floating between units. A four-game run this week, which started Tuesday against Indiana, will allow the Wizards to dig in against similarly structured teams.
