Wizards No. 3 changes hands! CJ wears No. 3 jersey in the new season, and his previous owner is Bill

According to the latest report by the well-known jersey reporter Etienne Catalan, Washington Wizards new player CJ McCollum will play in the No. 3 jersey in the new season. This decision immediately sparked heated discussion among fans because the last person wearing the No. 3 jersey for the Wizards was the team's legendary star Bradley Bill.

McCollum's choice of No. 3 jersey is of great significance. In the history of the Wizards, the most famous owner of this number is Bill, who has been wearing the No. 3 jersey for 11 seasons in Washington, setting countless team records. Now that CJ has taken this number, it is not only a tribute to Bill, but also a symbol of the opening of a new era of the Wizards.

Interestingly, McCollum wore No. 3 during the Pelicans and No. 23 during the Trail Blazers. Returning to familiar numbers this time may help him adapt to the new environment faster. Last season, the 32-year-old CJ still averaged 20.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 41.8%.

Meanwhile, another Wizards player, Marvin Bagley III, confirmed that he will continue to wear the No. 35 jersey. The 2018 second-tier show was traded to the Grizzlies by the Wizards in the middle of last season and is now back in Washington on a one-year contract.

Bagley said in an interview: "No. 35 has special meaning to me, and I am very happy to continue wearing it." Last season, he played 19 games for the Wizards, averaging 4.9 points and 2.9 rebounds per game, and shooting 53.5%.

This second-tier pick in 2018 has experienced ups and downs in his career due to injuries and positioning issues. The Wizards are willing to give another chance. Perhaps it is because of his rebounding and inside finishing ability he showed in limited playing time

With the addition of McCollum and Bagley, the Wizards' lineup is more profound. "We are building a competitive team that will help young people grow," said Will Dawkins, general manager of the team.source:Trò chơi trực tuyến miễn phí
