"Between Keefe's challenge, a Wizards player's only meeting and the fact the team has already began benching players who have failed to meet the team's standards, it's a shock that Washington avoided an F in Bleacher Report's recent article grading each team's start to the season."
""The Washington Wizards were supposed to be bad, but even a 3-19 record is surprisingly awful," Swartz wrote in his latest article. "The Wiz own the NBA's worst net rating by nearly six full points (minus-15.6) and are dead-last in both offense and defense. For a team that's still playing some veterans in CJ McCollum, Khris Middleton, Corey Kispert, Marvin Bagley III and others, that's not a good sign.""
"There's no denying that the start to the season for the Washington Wizards has been disappointing to say the least."
The Washington Wizards opened the season 3-19 and occupy the bottom of the NBA standings, nearer a top draft pick than the Eastern Conference playoffs. Offseason moves included acquisitions of CJ McCollum and Cam Whitmore and drafting scorer Tre Johnson, raising expectations for improvement. The team instead posts the league's worst net rating (minus-15.6) and ranks last in both offense and defense. Head coach Brian Keefe issued a challenge for players to self-reflect, the roster held a limited internal meeting, and coaches have begun benching underperforming players. Bleacher Report assigned a D- for the start.
