Everyone has to work hard to figure out where to place the Wizards, since they’ve changed so much since last year. This guy might have said “Well, the last season the Wizards were healthy a majority of the time, (06-07), they were a .500 team and the seventh seed in a weak East.” He accounted for second-half injuries that year, bumped us up a little bit; then accounted for the big three getting older, bumping us down a littler bit; then he accounted for the additions, bumped us up; finally, he noted that although Arenas and Haywood have been promising this offseason, there is still no hard evidence saying that either one is ready to perform at their pre-injury levels, bumping us back down to where he put us. Do I love it when we’re in the top 10 of power rankings? Hell yes. Do I think I have any reason to get mad that someone else only puts us in the top half? Hell no. We should know — the team damn sure better know — that the Wizards have a lot to prove after last season. We were the worst team in the East last year — we absolutely will not get the benefit of the doubt.
