Could losing games turn out to be a winning strategy?
” of sports media mogul Bill Simmons. Here are five things to know about the Wizards’ upcoming season.The Wizards aren’t projected to be a dominant team this year. “Eastern Conference is deep and tough,” says House. He forecasts the team to win 37 games, finishing third in the Southeast Division, 11th place in the Eastern Conference—and just missing the playoffs. Hughes is a tad more optimistic. “I have them winning around 43 games and making the playoffs via the play-in tournament,” he says.
“They need Bradley Beal to play,” Johnson says. Due to a wrist injury, the star athlete only played 40 games last season. “Bradley Beal twice has averaged over 30 points a game in his career” says Johnson. “They don’t need him to do that with the way this team is constructed. But to be a better team, they need him to be on the floor for more than 40 games.”Improved three-point shooting will also be essential to the team’s success.
Not everyone agrees. “Because of the draft lottery [system], you can be the worst team in the NBA and not get that top overall pick,” says Johnson. “I understand the argument, but the draft is such an inexact science to begin with. [So] I don’t think that’s how you progress going forward, by saying, ‘You know what? We’re going to throw this season away even before it starts.”
