On Monday, the Washington Wizards hosted their first preseason game against the Guangzhou Long-Lions. With no John Wall or Markieff Morris, the Wizards’ bench was on full display. Washington easily handled the Long-Lions, with a 126-96 victory.
There were a lot of storylines to watch from a Wizards fan’s perspective. Tomas Satoransky starting at point guard, Otto Porter’s first action since signing his max contract, Kelly Oubre’s progression and many more.
The storyline that I followed was the role of Jodie Meeks. The 30 year-old veteran shooting guard, was added during the offseason, to help bolster what was a relatively lackluster and inconsistent bench.
