Bryant. Beal and Westy almost gave the game away.

No question: Thomas Bryant. If he keeps rebounding like this, we finally have a solid starting center!

It felt like Bryant had read some of these threads and was trying to respond to comments about his defense. Great rebounding, really smart play around the basket, efficient scoring weapon, generally kept his cool, great all around game.

If Beal and Westbrook didn’t play keep away from the rest of the roster I think Bryant could average 20 ppg for the season

Easy call for Bryant. Also nice to see Bertans showing a pulse and Rui punishing them inside.

Yeah this one is easy, but it’s been really fun to watch Rui as well. He’s such a dynamic offensive weapon

We have a good squad. Bryant is so far the unanimous POTG.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

It's amazing that anyone but Bryant gets even a single vote.

Sometimes players get credit when their performance is a surprise boost to the team. I see Bryant way out front, and somewhat of a pleasant surprise, especially the overall energy and athleticism, but Hachimura and Bertans were in some ways more surprising. Still adjusting to Hachimura's weight gain. Bertan's too. 8-)

Bryant with a helluva performance. Also loved to see Rui bully them when they switched.

Sure. & when a game is close, one or another single play can stand out enough to make a person forget what it was that made it possible for that opportunity to exist.

Last night, except for the outing Bryant had, we were outplayed in every way & would have been steamrolled. In that sense, nothing anyone else did puts them in the picture for POG.

Lopez too had a nice game.

Still, it's nice to see Rui score reasonably well & defend well. OTOH, he can't play 33 minutes and get 2 boards.

Bryant.
He did everything becoming of an all-star center. If he can give this type of performance 70% of the time, he will be the all-star we want him to be.
I abhor Silver

:) If he could have a game like last night 70% of the time, he'd be one of the top 10 players in the NBA !!
