Watkins Swats His Way Into Wizards Lore

Did anyone catch Jamir Watkins’ monster game in Vegas? The rookie tied the Summer League record with 8 blocks—matching Alex Sarr’s mark from earlier this week! Watkins locked up VJ Edgecombe (the No. 3 pick!) and turned defense into instant offense with steal-and-score plays. His jumper’s still a work in progress, but with this kind of dogged D, he’s making a serious case for minutes in the Wizards’ crowded rotation. If he adds a 3-ball, watch out! #Sports #Basketball #WizardsNation
