After two straight impressive runs in the NBA Playoffs, the Washington Wizards failed to make the postseason in 2016.
There were plenty of reasons why they didn’t add on to their newfound success.
First off, Ernie Grunfeld did a poor job of constructing the roster and asked Randy Wittman to change the team’s style of play, even though the pieces didn’t fit the puzzle.
Washington tried to play with increased pace and space, but the players that were on the team weren’t capable of implementing it correctly. The likes of Nene, Drew Gooden, Kris Humphries and DeJuan Blair were odd fits, to say the least.
