The Washington Wizards are currently one of the hottest NBA teams right now. They have won nine of their last ten games. Bradley Beal is the NBA’s leading per game scorer. Daniel Gafford’s trade deadline deal is nothing less than a grand slam home run for General Manager Tommy Sheppard. And Russell Westbrook, another first-year Wizard, is probably going to average a triple-double this season. Because of the Wizards’ rise in the standings and power rankings in April, we’re openly wondering if the Wizards can make the playoffs at this point.
All of that said, things aren’t going so well for the player whom the Wizards traded for last November: John Wall.
