CJ McCollum’s bold promise to Wizards fans sets the tone for the season

The Washington Wizards media day brought plenty of talk about the season ahead.

Between the comments from new additions, offseason updates from returning players and what to expect for the season ahead from head coach Brian Keefe, there was an abundance of eye opening comments made on Monday,
