Look at LaMelo’s feet. He “jumps” as low as possible to fool Montrezl Harrell while throwing the lob. Absurd athletic coordination. Do we call this the skip step? Skim step? Glide step?
(And yes, it’s legal. He releases the pass before his right foot touches the ground). pic.twitter.com/Wy1W9Q59o6 – 7:59 PM

5 pts, 5 reb and a blk for Deni Avdija already in 10 min.
This move right here shows the offensive potential he is just barely scratching the surface of. This is unusual for 6-foot-9. pic.twitter.com/gDlxTyhEkE – 7:45 PM

This is a subjective observation, but Deni Avdija appears to be playing with increased confidence tonight. In addition to his defense, he’s playing with a welcome aggressiveness offensively. He has five points, five rebounds and one block with 8:13 remaining in the 2nd quarter. – 7:43 PM

Wizards lead the Hornets 29-24 after one. They went on a 12-4 run after Unseld Jr. called timeout at 20-17. Gafford leads all scorers with 10 pts. – 7:33 PM

Great sign for the Wizards with Daniel Gafford having 10 pts on 5-5 FG early in the 1st quarter. He had 4, 4 and 6 pts in his last 3 games. – 7:28 PM

LaMelo ball, a 38% three-point shooter this season, has knocked down two in the first quarter against Washington. Three-point shot has become a major weapon early in his career. – 7:27 PM

Daniel Gafford has been unhappy with his performance the last few games. Balling early for the Wizards with 8 points on 4-4 shooting in 5 minutes, one foul for now. – 7:22 PM

The Hornets want to turn tonight’s game into a fast-paced track meet. That wouldn’t be good for the Wizards. The Wizards would be better off slowing the pace down, except when they generate live-ball turnovers. – 7:18 PM

Daniel Gafford up to 8 points already. Not surprising given the Hornets’ struggles with defending the paint this season. – 7:18 PM

Tonight’s Wizards starters in Charlotte: Spencer Dinwiddie, Bradley Beal, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Kyle Kuzma and Daniel Gafford. Wes Unseld Jr. said he expects to play Beal his usual stints, but the coaches will monitor Beal to make sure his wind is OK after a 2-game absence. – 5:43 PM

Tommy Sheppard predicted that Rui Hachimura may start practicing and maybe play in games with the Capital City Go-Go in 1-2 weeks. Thomas Bryant a bit later than that.
Of course, Sheppard said that a calendar is not going to dictate their return dates. – 5:27 PM
