Successful NBA teams have two things: talent and health. The other often forgotten ingredient is chemistry.
The Washington Wizards have put together some great locker rooms over the past several years. Led by veterans Nene, Marcin Gortat, Paul Pierce, Drew Gooden, Trevor Ariza and others, the Wizards have been a tight group, almost never displaying any signs of hate towards each other.

Washington’s front office is hopeful that their two best players, John Wall and Bradley Beal, will finally be able to take on the leadership roles they’ve been groomed for since the beginning of their respective careers.
