Wizards commit to 3-point shooting on first day of training camp

Toward the end of the Washington Wizards’ first practice of training camp Tuesday, there were threes as far as the eye could see.

On every end of the two practice courts at the new MedStar Wizards Performance Center in the District, players took turns practicing 3-point shots. Otto Porter. Kelly Oubre. Ian Mahinmi.

Yes, Mahinmi — the center who has attempted eight 3-pointers in his 10-year NBA career.

Coach Scott Brooks said defense was the first thing the Wizards focused on when they opened camp. But on offense, the long ball is atop the priority list.
