Washington Wizards
Burning Question: How to get in on the big game sweepstakes?
The Washington Wizards have done quite well with their farm system. They’ve developed John Wall into one of the NBA’s best point guards. They’ve done similarly well with Bradley Beal, who is one of the league’s most underrated guards.
