Washington Wizards

It shouldn’t no surprise to see the Washington Wizards on this list. If Washington can every get itself right, they could be one of the most dangerous teams in the conference. This team’s roster is loaded with talent, led by John Wall and Bradley Beal.

If they can get one of Otto Porter or Kelly Oubre to pop, and take a next progressional step this season, this team will be that much more dangerous. The key, however, is whether Wall and Beal can continue to gel and get the most out of this team. Much of that will fall on Scott Brooks, too.

We have always discussed the Wizards as a potential team that could make the NBA Finals, and it feels like they have always disappointed. And it’s true. However, sooner or later – you’d think – that they’re eventually going to play up to their potential. This could be that season, especially in a wide open East.
