The Washington Wizards aren’t going to be big-time attractions on the court this season, whether here at Capital One Arena or on national television this season. Alan Jenkins made it clear this week that the Wizards are rebuilding. I said that this season would be “forgettable” on Feb. 12.
This isn’t to say that we’re taking “craps” on the team just for the heck of it. The Wizards have to rebuild after years of mismanagement. And to their credit, Washington’s taking the pain now.
But in Japan, the Wizards will be big to NBA fans from Tokyo to Osaka and Kyoto.
