Austin Rivers said it best. His arrival on the Washington Wizards represents a fresh start. Not just for the combo guard, not just for the newly acquired Dwight Howard, but for the entire team.
In a recent article, I extolled the virtues of why Howard is an excellent pickup. Why he’s still an athletic big who dominates the paint. He represents a crucial piece that the Wizards have been missing, a formidable presence at the rim.
Yes, the Wizards had a first-round exit last season. But this is a new start.
