DALLAS — A young point forward took over Friday night’s game between the Washington Wizards and Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center.
He did a little bit of everything. He brought the ball up the court and ran the offense like a point guard. He punished smaller defenders in the post. On defense, he switched across multiple positions, sliding to deny driving lanes on the perimeter and swiping for steals and blocks inside.
