You might think showing up for the NBA restart in Orlando was a huge waste of time for the Wizards. They lost seven straight before managing to squeak out a nail-biter against the Boston Celtics — who didn’t play Jaylen Brown, Gordon Hayward, Marcus Smart, Jayson Tatum, Daniel Theis and Kemba Walker. Small achievement, but they did avoid becoming the only winless team in the “bubble.”
No, they didn’t make much progress developing talent and no one gained “valuable experience” or whatever coach-speak pablum you prefer.
