The Wizards will unveil a brand new offensive philosophy tonight. How drastic the change will be is still uncertain. Randy Wittman definitely won’t show his entire hand in the first preseason game against Philadelphia. “Don’t read anything into who we play tomorrow or who starts tomorrow,” the coach has already warned from his porch to those looking at his lawn via binoculars from afar.
Wizards fans are, nonetheless, excited about small ball talk. Perhaps overly excited. It’s D.C. sports, remember. Yes, there will certainly be more hallmarks of small ball—more running, more long-distance shooting.
