Rotation is a mystery for Wednesday opener
Closing with line drills and full-court weaves, the Wizards’ practice Monday was so high school.
Near the end of the grueling session, coach Eddie Jordan spurred on his tired players.
“Commitment and pride,” he yelled.
After two-plus hours of work, it was clear that Jordan wants his team fit for Wednesday’s opening game with visiting New Jersey.
“There is a sense of urgency,” said Jordan. “The second team is really giving the starters a run for their money. Hopefully, that’s a good thing.”
Jordan takes nothing for granted when it comes to the Wizards’ reserves. After a shaky 2-5 preseason, no rotation is set.
“If everyone was consistent during the preseason, I would have [a rotation],” said Jordan. “But no one has been consistent in every sense of the word.”
Note » As expected, the Wizards announced yesterday that they have exercised third-year options on second-year players Oleksiy Pecherov and Nick Young.
