John Wall, the leader of the Washington Wizards, is the key to their 2015-2016 fortunes.
Other players will have a major role in how this season turns out. Bradley Beal’s continued maturation into a potential All-Star and Otto Porter’s development as a full-time starter replacing the departed Paul Pierce will impact the potential of this year’s version of Les Boulez, but no singular player holds as much responsibility towards the outcome of this season as John Wall.
The Washington Wizards are not the team we saw exit the Verizon Center after a crushing dis-allowed game tying three point shot versus Atlanta in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
