Next season will be the start of a new era in Washington basketball. I wrote why it's time to rebrand from the ground up. #ForTheDistrict open.substack.com/pub/calebm…

Through three games this season, Trae Young is averaging 23 points and 11 assists to just 2 turnovers. I'd say he's finding that balance pretty effortlessly. The only problem is he's been pretty inefficient shooting the ball (30% from three and 36% overall).

Coming into the season, I was most unsure / curious about whether Bilal would make himself indispensable. If he continues to play like he did last night, the Wiz are gonna be really happy (and good!)

Many Washington Wizards fans want a franchise rebrand. They say a new era demands new primary uniforms, a new logo and perhaps a new name. What are the chances of all that happening? Story at @TheAthleticNBA, free for everyone to read: nytimes.com/athletic/7677666…

I thought EXIT PARTY by Emily St. John Mandel was a banger. doubledrivel.substack.com/p/…

No particular order here. About as difficult as I expected.

Replacing my Reading Roundups with a new project that covers one book at a time while giving me space to say something about basketball. First up: Emily St. John Mandel's new book EXIT PARTY. #amreading #nba #wnba

Interestingly enough, Kyshawn George seemed the most uncomfortable in the starting lineup, but could just be a little bit of rust.

But if AD is going to shoot like this it might not matter at all who starts at the 2.

Now reading this one from Helen DeWitt.

This Friday, I’ll be debuting my newsletter Double Drivel, in which I review a book and muse about basketball. It’d be pretty cool if you subscribed and offered up your email so you can get that good-good straight to your inbox.

Got "1985" by Bowling for Soup stuck in my head and that song is hella racist.
