The Washington Wizards couldn’t have solved all of their problems in the offseason, but they could have done more to avoid a 6-16 start.
The Washington Wizards are on pace to finish the 2020-21 season with their worst winning percentage since the turn of the millennia. Their current rate (0.273) barely beats the Wizards’ mark from the 2000-01 season (0.232).
This season has been a disaster. There’s no use in sugar-coating it. While some of the issues are self-imposed — poor lineup decisions from Scott Brooks, low effort on the defensive end — not all of the problems are things the Wizards could have prepared for.
