An argument could be made that the Washington Wizards have the most impressive wins under their belt thus far in the young season. They’ve beaten a pesky Indiana Pacers team, the Boston Celtics, and Atlanta Hawks through the first week and a half of the season.

The additions of Spencer Dinwiddie and Kyle Kuzma seem to be working out as best as possible and Bradley Beal has continued to play a vital role as the leader of the team. Even though it’s early, this is absolutely a team that should be in the race for the playoffs in the Eastern Conference.

If the Wizards can add some depth at the NBA Trade Deadline, this could emerge as a dark horse East disrupter. They don’t have a championship roster but could be a tough out in the postseason if they can get there.

Verdict: Trick
