9. Washington Wizards

Quietly, the Washington Wizards have been quite impressive. And I believe we can even go back to how they closed last season. The offseason additions of Spencer Dinwiddie, Montrezl Harrell, and Kyle Kuzma are already paying dividends and Bradley Beal hasn’t even found a rhythm in his game yet.

The Wizards likely won’t continue winning at this high pace but I also don’t think they’re going to all off a cliff. This team has talent and the talent to make the playoffs, even in the deep Eastern Conference

Everyone seems to be sleeping on the Wizards and I believe that’s a big mistake that will have many second-guessing themselves by the end of the season.
