3. Summer League was a breath of fresh air for development

Summer League in Las Vegas was a big breath of fresh air for Washington Wizards fans. Or at least, it should’ve been. When looking at the Wizards from a development standpoint, it was refreshing to see Devin Robinson‘s growth, as well as Troy Brown Jr.’s performance.

The Wizards posted a 1-4 record, but they got a ton out of Robinson and Brown in the production department. Robinson put up 19.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest in five appearances. Brown averaged 18.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 steals per game. They weren’t the only ones that stood out, either.

Thomas Bryant, a recent acquisition off waivers from the Los Angeles Lakers, also produced 14.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 blocks per game in his five appearances. Undrafted point guard Chris Chiozza ranked second among all players in Summer League in assists per game with 7.4.

With a G League team on the horizon (Capital City Go-Go), it’s good to see the Wizards look prepared in that regard. They’ll have an influx of wings now, so one of those other Summer League standouts could join Devin Robinson on a two-way contract for 2018-19.
