We are only a few games into the 2021-2022 season and I can already say this is the most I’ve enjoyed Wizards basketball in about 15 years. Sure, I enjoyed the highs of the John Wall era but for some reason or a other they never resonated with me quite the same way the mid-to-late 2000’s teams did. Maybe because they are further removed and nostalgia has set in I remember them more fondly.
Whatever the case may be, I’ve found myself comparing this year’s group to the Gilbert Arenas-era squads. I thought it might be fun to go through and identify the closest player comparison between the two groups.
