In the Washington Wizard’s preseason finale facing the Detroit Pistons Saturday night, Russell Westbrook finally made his presence known as a Wizard in his debut. We didn’t expect to see him get going until the regular season began. He played only in the first half ending with eight points.
Westbrook gave his first impressions of playing with Washington. He mentioned that the most important part was the fact the team won Saturday night. Westbrook went on to say he thought the Wizards had a good pace and defended the ball well.
Having to adjust to the team on and off the court in such a short time is something we shouldn’t take lightly, since Westbrook seems to be in high spirits about it.
