The Washington Wizards first game of the season did not go quite as planned with a 142-120 loss to the Indiana Pacers. While their debut may cause uncertainty, Double Take Sports founder Carita Parks spoke to two-time NBA champion Quinn Cook during the offseason and he doesn\u2019t think the Wizards will struggle as much as people may expect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a Prince Georges County (MD) native and DeMatha High School standout, Cook is very familiar with the Washington, D.C. sports scene. He also won NBA championships with the Golden State Warriors \u202fand Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When asked his thoughts on the team\u2019s \u2018rebuild,\u2019 he quickly interjected and stated he does not think the Wizards are in rebuild mode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI don’t think they’re in a rebuild. With Kyle Kuzma, Tyus Jones, and Jordan Poole, you’re competitive every night,” Cook said. “I don’t know the roster off the top of my head right now but just based off those three, they’re going to be competitive. I think the GM has done a great job restructuring the whole franchise.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
