Wizards Players Dominate in FIBA Competitions

Football season may be starting, but there is still plenty of basketball action to enjoy. FIBA has two competitions with Washington Wizards players participating, EuroBasket and AmeriCup. Team France has Alex Sarr and Bilal Coulibaly, Team Serbia has Tristan Vukcevic, and Team Canada has Kyshawn George. With multiple rotational players participating, the Wizards were able to showcase how deep a team Washington will have over the next few seasons.

Starting with Vukcevic for Team Serbia, he had an excellent performance in the EuroBasket opener. Vukcevic finished with nine points on 50 percent shooting, seven rebounds, and a block in 21 minutes of action. Vukcevic may not be the best player on his international squad, as Nikola Jokić, a three-time MVP, holds that title. Still, he was able to prove why the Wizards are keeping him around off the bench.

The next FIBA game featuring some Wizards players involved was Team France, where Sarr and Coulibaly have been putting on a show this summer. Starting with Sarr, who came off the bench. The Wizards' starting center would have seven points, four rebounds, and one assist off the pine for the French national team. All around solid performance, where he has started to show more confidence in his ability, along with becoming more efficient.
