Mailbag Answers: Evaluating Scott Brooks, Isaiah Thomas’ role, Wizards lineups, and more

A big thanks to everyone who submitted questions for this week’s Wizards mailbag. And, apologies for getting the responses up so late. Connectivity problems. Yeesh.

Anyway, to the questions and answers:

How is Scott Brooks being evaluated this year? Is there a wins threshold he needs to hit, is it solely based on the progress of our young guys? Is his job safe enough to not be tempted into playing Brad 40-plus minutes a night? (submitted by Barret Bresnahan)

Yanir Rubinstien: As I pointed out (and almost all media outlets seem to overlook) in my in-depth analysis Brooks’ job is safe for the next two years: he shares the same agent (Warren LeGarie) as his boss, Tommy Sheppard.
