Scott Brooks emphasizes player development, playing both ends in introductory press conference

The Washington Wizards introduced Scott Brooks to the media for the first time on Wednesday afternoon, alongside team owner Ted Leonsis and Team President Ernie Grunfeld.

For the most part, Brooks stuck to the script you usually see from coaches that you see in these types of events. He talked about playing a more exciting brand of basketball, making sure players hold each other accountable, developing players, but did offer a few glimpses into some of the strategies he'll employ as the team's coach.

We have a great young team here. We have guys that love to play.
