It is finally here, folks. The NBA season is officially upon us, and the Washington Wizards are ready to take on the Dallas Mavericks for their first game of the season.
If things seem a little unfamiliar around this Wizards team, they probably should. This certainly isn’t the same Wizards team of year’s past. For one, they have more than ten new faces on this year’s roster. The most important new face, though, is probably Tommy Sheppard’s. Sheppard replaced unpopular, long-time general manager Ernie Grunfeld, and has quickly left his stamp on this organization.
Secondly, they have a new attitude, thanks in large part to the energy that Sheppard has brought to his new role.
