In February 2024, the Wizards lost all 12 games and became the "invincible brothers" with the Trail Blazers, but the Wizards still had surprises this month, and one became the league's assist king this month! He's not Lakers outcast Kyle Kuzma, and he's not Warriors veteran Jordan Poole, who is he?
Editor: The All-Star weekend has ended, the team rankings for this season have been eyebrow-raised, there is no lower limit for the Wizards and Pistons in the East to lose, and the Spurs and Trail Blazers in the West are still bottoming out, of which the Wizards and Trail Blazers are both winless in February 2024. However, compared to the Trail Blazers' rebuild, the Wizards had some surprises this month.
Editor: In February 2024, Poole's performance has been as consistent as ever, averaging the second-most shots per game on the team at 156 times but only 35With a 3% shooting percentage, his plus/minus average has risen to -3 this month6；Kuzma was the Wizards' leading scorer, but he finished the month with 463% shooting averaged 22 per gameA score of 1 is not a bright spot.
The biggest highlight of the month for the Wizards was the birth of the league's assist leader, who averaged a league-high 10 of any player in the league in 12 gamesTyrus Jones with 8 assists. He has been on full duty throughout the month and has provided no less than six assists in every game, including six of his last seven games with more than 10 assists. What's even more exciting is that Jones averaged just 14 times, the assist-to-turnover ratio reached a staggering 77！
Editor: Five players in the league averaged double-doubles in assists per game this month, with the exception of Jones being Trae Young, Jokic, Doncic and Sabonis Jr., but the other four were not as good as Jones in assists per game and were all over 25 times.
Editor: The 24th player selected in the first round of the 2015 NBA Draft, Jones has played nine seasons in the NBA and averaged just 4.4 assists per game in 594 regular-season games3 times, in the Wizards this season, his average points, assists, rebounds, shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage and many other statistics have set a new single-season high in his NBA career, which can be regarded as the biggest surprise of the Wizards this season. Perhaps, the 28-year-old could get the biggest contract of his NBA career so far when his contract expires this summer.
