The Wizards finally have a bench
Remember when the Wizards could never find a bench? In the five seasons that John Wall was an all-star (2014-18), the team was 8.3 points worse per 100 possessions when he sat. The John Wall backup point guard carousel throughout the years runs almost as deep as the Bill Walsh coaching tree.
It took long enough, but the Wizards finally have some pieces that they can work with on the second-unit. Ish Smith is ramping up the pace, and hitting jumpers like he never has before. The Bertans/Wagner European frontcourt has been eviscerating teams (offensively).
Jordan McRae has even had his moments. Too bad C.J. Miles looked washed before going down with a likely season-ending wrist injury.
