On Tuesday, we released our Wizards predictions on the 2016-17 NBA season. I gave one prediction saying that they will return to the second round of the playoffs after missing the postseason altogether last season.
I stand by everything I pointed out in that post. Scott Brooks, unlike Randy Wittman, has shown the willingness to play younger players over the years for the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Wizards still have a good number of younger players on the roster and they still have room to grow.
Though that prediction was optimistic, many national pundits don’t agree.
