The Wizards use a digital playbook to show players ATOs (after timeout plays) in their huddles. Gone are the days of whiteboards and dry-erase markers. See the full demo from Wizards assistant coach Cody Toppert: www.monumentalsportsnetwork.com/videos/cody-...

Kyshawn George's strong 2nd NBA season has been cut short due to injury. A look at some of the improvement he showed: www.monumentalsportsnetwork.com/article/inju...

Jaden Hardy had 4 3PT in 12 min. last night and since joining the Wizards has the third-most 3PT to begin a career with the franchise. “There’s a bunch of players out there who haven’t gotten their opportunity, but they have game." www.monumentalsportsnetwork.com/article/jade...

Jaden Hardy had 4 threes in 12 min. last night and since joining the Wizards he has the third-most 3PT to begin a career with the franchise. “There’s a bunch of players out there who haven’t gotten their opportunity, but they have game."

Juju Reese has the most rebounds (64) through 6 games to begin an NBA career since Dwight Howard in 2004. That and more in a look at Juju's rebounding by the numbers: www.monumentalsportsnetwork.com/article/juju...

“Will truly plays like and believes that you can’t stop him and you really can’t." With long limbs and a nimble pivot foot, Will Riley's game is unusual, even "weird" according to teammates. But it works. More on a young player quickly ascending. @monsportsnet buff.ly/PHeNIyB
