As the NBA’s best gathered for All-Star Weekend in Chicago, Davis Bertans, Rui Hachimura and Mortiz Wagner were on hand to represent the Wizards. Bertans participated in the 3-Point Contest on All-Star Saturday Night while Hachimura and Wagner took part in Friday night’s Rising Stars Challenge.
Bertans, who has developed into one of the league’s most dangerous long-range shooters, put on a show Saturday night. The “Latvian Laser” was one of three shooters to advance to the second and final round after a 26-point first round that ended with Bertans hitting 10-of-11 shots, including the newly added MTN DEW Zone bonus ball plus his entire money ball rack.
