"Whether I start or come off the bench, I know who I am. I know I'm one of the best basketball players in the world," he said. The 5-foot-9 point guard was on the floor at the outset of the Washington Wizards' 115-99 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Monday night, and he finished with nine points, six assists and two rebounds in just under 25 minutes.

As we all expected, a top pick from Duke has jumped out of the gate for the New Orleans Pelicans and is already showing an All Star-level ceiling at his new home. The Pelicans' Zion Williamson era has been delayed 6-8 weeks as the rookie recovers from preseason knee surgery, but in his absence, Brandon Ingram has taken over.
