The Bottom Line

The moment we all have been waiting for has finally arrived. Despite their struggles, we have seen growth from this entire team. Kyle Kuzma’s game has evolved tremendously. Kristaps Porzingis has had a fully healthy season. Bradley Beal has took his game from being a flat out scorer to a scorer who can facilitate and make his teammates better. This offseason should be one for the books. However, at this moment is the Johnny Davis show. He was drafted early with the number ten overall pick. The Wizards have to make sure he works for their future plans. The Wizards don’t care if they win or lose this game. They have already secured their lottery draft pick for this upcoming NBA Draft. Expect the Wizards to play hard not just for themselves, not just the fans or friends or families, but for their Head Coach Wes Unseld Jr who they believe in.
