A lifetime of Wizards fandom has taught me that whenever you’re down about the team, you always have one shining light in the distance to look to for hope: the NBA draft lottery. If you just want something positive to look forward to, well, you’re in luck. The 2021 NBA Draft is going to be really good at the top.
There’s been a lot of recent talk about whether or not the Wizards should start the rebuild process by “blowing it up.” Osman Baig recently wrote an article in favor of that. On this week’s Bleav in Wizards podcast, Larry Hughes and I advocated for holding off on making that decision (for now) based on the extenuating circumstances with COVID limiting the team’s ability to gel and integrate new pieces.
