The Washington Wizards have a young roster heading into next season, but that hasn't stopped general manager Will Dawkins hopes of setting the tone from the jump.
Washington's general manager made it clear that entering the season, nothing would be given, but instead earned.
The Wizards want to set a culture built around hard work and make it clear that to the newcomers and the returning players on the roster, no spots were guarenteed.
Whether it's a starting spot, sixth man role or end of the bench seat, every player will be expected to earn their spot on the roster.
