Very few expected a start to the season as promising as the one that the Washington Wizards of rookie Wes Unseld Jr. are starring in. The people from the capital are positioned as co-leaders of the Eastern Conference with a 5-1 record.
And while all the new faces finish connecting, which are quite a few, the victories continue to come with Bradley Beal as the focus of the team along with Dinwiddie, Harrell, Kuzma or Caldwell-Pope among others.
This start of the season did not occur in Washington since the distant 2005-06. A situation that does not escape anyone, even Beal, who has once again reiterated his commitment to the franchise: “I want to win with Washington.”
The Florida-trained guard has been in all kinds of rumors, and numerous teams would like to have him in their ranks. In this course he will collect 33.72 million dollars, and to his credit he has an option for the 2022-23 campaign valued at 36.42 million dollars. Supposedly this last year he will not execute it looking for a long-term contract for the maximum salary allowed.
«You can be part of this story here (in Washington). It can be a terrifying year for us, “he stressed.
In five official games he has averaged 24.4 points, 4.8 assists, 6.2 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 36 minutes per night.
