How Russell Westbrook caused a sensation at the Wizards
This is probably a very small consolation prize for the ex-element of the Houston Rockets. Because despite his individual performance, the Wizards fail to win at the start of the season. And as a competitor, Westbrook cannot be satisfied with such a situation.
With the changes made this offseason, Washington will have to find the right formula. But with Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook, this team has enough assets to raise its head. For them, the objective remains to join the race for the Playoffs in the East.
