10. Washington Wizards

The Washington Wizards are another Eastern Conference team that got off to an unlikely fast start to the season. Even though they made improvements to the roster, I don’t think anyone envisioned this team to be one game out of the top seed in the Eastern conference through roughly the first four weeks of the season.

Nevertheless, that’s exactly where the Wizards are and you can’t help but feel hopeful for a team that is led by Bradley Beal – along with the rest of the talent that this team has on its roster this season.

I’m not exactly sure what the ceiling is for a team such as the Wizards, but there’s no question that this team has enough talent to be a problem for a contender in the playoffs.
