Wherever Washington Wizards fans stand on this weekend’s all-star festivities, from thinking it’s nothing more than a popularity contest to voting every day and watching every second, we can all agree that it’s an excellent opportunity for young players to step onto the larger stage and showcase their skills.
And now, just like John Wall and Bradley Beal before him, Rui Hachimura has a chance to solidify his spot in the NBA. Putting on a show in front of millions of fans who would never bother to watch a Washington Wizards game will go far in representing our team and his own personal brand of basketball.
