Perhaps more than anyone in the NBA, former Washington Wizards coach Randy Wittman hated playing his young talent.
For some reason, Wittman relied on his veteran players even when the Wizards’ postseason chances became virtually nonexistent.
Throughout his tenure as head coach of the Wizards, Wittman became notorious for his awful player development track record.
The likes of Shaun Livingston, Shelvin Mack and Trevor Booker all went on to have relatively successful careers after leaving the district.
Seeing those players blossom elsewhere was disappointing, but the amount of talent that simply went nowhere was even more disheartening.
