The Washington Wizards have established a solid core of young players, that not only gel well together, but compliment each other's style of play.
Each player believes in one another and at the end of the day, the chemistry formed off the court is what's going to make the chemistry on the court flourish.
The camaraderie between the young group has been great to see and although the Wizards rebuild is far from concluding, the foundation being built courtesy of general manager Will Dawkins and head coach Brian Keefe has been impressive.
Entering the season, Washington has several breakout candidates on the roster that not only the fanbase is excited to watch, but minds around the league are keeping their eyes on.
One player in specific that's gaining a lot of hype heading into the season is second-year man Kyshawn George.
George flashes plenty of promise during his rookie season, but his versatility on both sides of the court is what really began to open eyes about the type of player he could develop into.
The Miami product was an underrated scorer on offense and his improving jumper added confidence in his potential on his own.
However, what he offered playmaking wise as a willing facilitator proved that his upside as a developmental wing could make him a legit game changer for Washington.
Not to mention his ability to switch with ease on the defensive end.
Nonetheless, Wizards' young guard Bub Carrington believes that the true key for George unlocking his potential will be believing in himself more.
"In my opinion, he wasn't bad at anything [last year]." Carrington said. "The only thing he was bad at was knowing that you're Kyshawn George. Like, bro, go hoop. I think he's getting better at that, being more confident. It will be a very big season for him."
If anyone knows exactly what George has the potential to become, it's the Wizards' coaching staff and the players on the roster.
Carrington coming out and openly saying that George's confidence could be the difference maker for him entering the season is very telling about just how talented the forward truly is.
In Summer League, it was clear early on that George's confidence was growing. The former ACC standout was playing with more purpose and showed more willingness to be aggressive on offense and serve as a vocal leader on the court,
Through early training camp clips, that seems to have carried over into the season.
If George truly does enter his second season with confidence in his game, the Wizards playmaker could be prepared for a major sophomore leap.
