Basketball fandom has a rather nasty habit when it comes to talent on their own roster: over-valuing them. There’s a big wave in Washington’s fan base and the Wizards organization to keep the 27-year old Du0101vis Bertu0101ns and a growing sense that the Washington Wizards have struck gold in a young man who could potentially become the best shooter the NBA has ever seen.
The idea behind the sentiment is that the Latvian Laser will become even more laser-like once John Wall inevitably returns from his Achilles tear. And that his ability to spot up off of Wall’s amazing ability to breakdown his defender will be key to Wizards success.
