Washington Wizards: 3 takeaways from preseason win over Cavaliers
By Randy Porga
1. Tomas Satoransky, Carrick Felix, and Jodie Meeks stand out
Tomas Satoransky ran the court for a majority of the game and it yielded fair results as he clocked in 34 minutes of playing time. He finished his night with eight points on 3-of-8 shooting and missed all three attempts from beyond the arc. Otherwise he was productive with five assists, four rebounds and one steal despite committing three turnovers.
Jodie Meeks so far is the clear standout of the preseason, stringing together a couple solid performances. Swishing with ease from beyond the arc, he finished his night 3-for-4 on 3-pointers while going 4-for-4 from the free throw line, committing zero turnovers and coming up with one steal. He was productive all around the court and appears to be the clear leader out of the rotation.
The surprise of the night was Carrick Felix, who made a number of heads up plays and stood out by simply hustling with his time on the court. He clocked in 24 minutes of play and went 4-for-6 from the field, coming up with two blocks, two steals and only one turnover. We should expect to see additional minutes from Felix when the Wizards meet the Miami Heat for their next preseason game on Wednesday.
