The Washington Wizards walked away with the Southeast Division Title last season. They were a healthy six games above the second place Atlanta Hawks, but by improving their roster, the Charlotte Hornets may have begun a division rivalry for years to come with the Wizards.
There’s no denying that the Wizards have the best roster, and arguably best player, in the division. However, the Hornets aren’t necessarily all that far behind.
Of course, the amount of threat the Hornets can pose to the Wizards depends on how well new additions to the team integrate with the current roster.
