If we asked Wizards fans to name the team’s three best players, in some order most would say the following names: John Wall, Bradley Beal and Davis Bertans. What do those three have in common? They’re all going to miss The Bubble.
These absences gives Washington’s young players an opportunity to take on additional responsibility and solidify a spot in the team’s future. Or play their way out of it, of course.
The team’s strengths and weaknesses this season are easy to identify.
Strengths
- avoiding turnovers — 7th best turnover percentage
- getting to the free throw line — 6th or 7th best, depending on your measure
- forcing turnovers — 4th best
That’s about it.
