25. Scott Brooks, Washington Wizards

After missing out on the Kevin Durant sweepstakes, the good news is that the Washington Wizards managed to come away with Scott Brooks. Even though he wasn’t the best coach on the market this summer, he’s certainly an upgrade from Randy Wittman.

That alone was a win for the Wizards this summer. The biggest thing here is that we really don’t know exactly how good a coach Brooks is. During his time with the Oklahoma City Thunder, his impact was often overlooked because of how much talent that he had on the roster.

Still, he did have a role in the Thunder getting to the NBA Finals in 2012, even though he won’t ever get credit for it. We just don’t know how much, though.
