Since acquiring the current name and branding, Washington Wizards have not experienced what it's like to compete in a Conference final. This upcoming season, they won't discover it either. One of the most stagnant franchises in the entire NBA will remain far from any competitive aspirations, dreaming of a rebuilding process that drags on.
Young players with good potential, still far from their maturity and lacking a generational talent among them that could change everything. Alex Sarr is perceived by many as the capital's hope, but he doesn't seem to enjoy the superstar projection that other players may have in the NBA. McCollum and Middleton bring a touch of experience and competitiveness to a team without what it takes to aim for anything, possibly getting rid of one of them soon to continue gaining future assets.
The progression of Bilal Coulibaly and how Cam Whitmore adapts to his new environment are the two factors that may generate the most interest around this team headed for tanking and dreaming that the Draft lottery favors them. Who knows if the lack of aspirations might lead to a young player shining above expectations, but it seems clear that Washington Wizards will not be one of the teams worth following closely next season.
