The Wizards’ rebounding schemes need revisiting
Here is some more insight on why things have gotten tougher for Washington lately.
The Wizards should reconsider whether Beal’s a long-term fit
The Wizards have lost 12 out of the last 17 games and Beal has declined, at least statistically. Can Washington really afford to lock Beal into a huge max contract?
The Wizards have a problem with their touches
A slower pace can limit the number of possessions and points given up on defense. But fewer possessions can also mean that players are stagnating on offense and not shooting the ball until later in the shot clock.
The Wizards’ shooting woes come with a silver lining
Washington has been ice-cold from three this season. Could that be reason for optimism?
