Sheldon McClellan wasn’t on anyone’s radar coming into preseason. Of the Wizards’ players on non-guaranteed deals (contracts that can be terminated at any point), Jarrell Eddie seemed to be the most likely to make the final roster with Danuel House being a somewhat distant second, based on their performance in Summer League. Things have changed in a hurry.
In the Wizards’ second preseason game, they beat the 76ers in double overtime in what was either the most thrilling or excruciating NBA preseason contest so far, depending on how you feel about the concept of three and a half hour exhibition games.
