Washington Wizards Insider Quinton Mayo sizes up the "Lakers of the East"

The Washington Wizards are near the top of the Eastern Conference with almost 20% of the regular season in the books. The team has been transformed with three former Lakers playing key roles along with stalwart Bradley Beal. Montrezl Harrell, Kyle Kuzma, and Kentavious Caldwell Pope came over in the Russell Westbrook trade and have given rookie head coach Wes Unseld Jr. a formidable rotation that has given opponents fits early in the season. Quinton Mayo is a close observer of the team and shares his perspective with Monica McNutt and King McClure, including a discussion of whether the team's hot start is sustainable. Quinton is not only extremely perceptive, but hip and funny as well.
