After getting eliminated in the Eastern Conference Semifinals for two straight seasons, the Washington Wizards have shifted their focus on building a roster around their young core.
Despite another six game elimination, not all was lost in their defeat against the Atlanta Hawks.
If John Wall didn’t suffer five fractures in Game-1, the Wizards would probably still be playing against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the conference finals.
Nevertheless, the Wizards took great strides in the playoffs.
Randy Wittman finally started to play small-ball and the team obviously benefited.
