Pistol made his first start tonight vs the Cavaliers. Pete was matched up with fellow rookie and fourth overall pick Dion Waiters and it was easy to see why Pete was selected before him. He recorded a double double as the starting shooting guard for the Wizards and Coach Wittman could see from the beginning he should be on the floor as much as possible. We caught up with Coach after the game and he had a lot to say about Maravich, "He was all over the floor tonight and looked poised and ready for the NBA." When asked how he sees Wall and Maravich playing together he replied, "Wall is our definite starter at Point, but tonight proved Pete can also run the floor. I'm going to try both at Point Guard in different situations to see where each play better and work from there." The Wizards match up with the Celtics on Saturday should be a good one and tickets are already sold out to see the rookie play.
