The Washington Wizards haven’t been able to escape injury over the past few seasons. Talent is obviously needed to win games, but a big part of succeeding in the NBA Playoffs is luck. The Golden State Warriors were virtually the only team remaining in the playoffs this past season that had a healthy core intact. Of course, they went on to win the NBA Championship.
The Wizards are going to go as far as John Wall and Bradley Beal can take them, but with a new system in place, they need their role players to stay healthy too.
