Eyes on Gary Neal and Local Water from Deep
[Image via USA Today Sports; 2013 NBA Finals]The Wizards have had their eye on Gary Neal ever since he left the Spurs in 2013 after three successful seasons. Undrafted in 2007, the Baltimore native who split time in college between La Salle University and Towson (an hour’s drive north of the Verizon Center), cut his professional basketball teeth overseas in Turkey, Spain, and Italy over three seasons before joining San Antonio in 2010. The Spurs have always had an eye for talent playing overseas, and Neal used his ability to hit shots in their system of ball movement to curate a career in the NBA—as a journeyman. The Wizards will be his fourth team in the past three seasons.
