Bradley Beal whispers something quick into Kristaps Porzingis’ ear minutes before his Wizards debut – 5:56 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
I like starting Kristaps Porzingis at center because it allows Daniel Gafford not to pick up fouls in the opening minutes.
I am looking forward to the Kyle Kuzma, Kristaps Porzingis, and Daniel Gafford frontcourt. Bet Bradley Beal is too. – 5:42 PM

Kristaps Porzingis will start at center in his first game as a Wizard, bumping Daniel Gafford to the bench. Here’s who Wes Unseld Jr. is going with:
Neto
Kispert
KCP
Kuzma
Porzingis – 5:37 PM

Kristaps Porzingis’ former coach Rick Carlisle was very complimentary of the Unicorn ahead of his Wizards’ debut against Carlisle’s Pacers
“You’re talking about a 7-foot-3 guy who can really do anything on the basketball floor. … I see him fitting in fell with their roster.” pic.twitter.com/raFTZifOCB5:14 PM

The time has come. Kristaps Porzingis will wear the Wizards uniform for the first time since he traded. At this stage of the season his return means a lot to the Wizards.
“We’re excited to see how he fits, how he impacts the game”, coach Unseld jr said.

Wes Unseld Jr. will not reveal the Wizards’ starters yet. My guess is Kristaps Porzingis in at the 5 alongside Kyle Kuzma at the 4 and KCP stays at the 3, but we’ll know for sure about 30 min before tipoff. – 4:20 PM
