Washington Wizards

Obviously, the Wizards injuries have began to add up over the last few weeks, with several key players out of the lineup including Alex Sarr, Bilal Coulibaly and reigning top 10 pick Tre Johnson. Washington's far from full strength, but if we're being completely honest, the team's underwhelming play to start the season suggest that even if they were healthy, it wouldn't make much of a difference.

The Washington Wizards injuries have managed to make an already bizarre start to the season take a turn for the worse. Washington's injury woes have forced head coach Brian Keefe to search for answers deep on the team's bench and after declaring that no minutes would be given, but instead earned this offseason, Washington found themselves turning to a second-round pick on Thursday night.

Entering the offseason, Beasley was expected to cash in on the open market after putting together a career-year in Detroit. The sharpshooting guard was one of the top candidates to win the Sixth Man of the Year award and was a huge reason for the Pistons' impressive regular season. Beasley averaged 16.3 points, while shooting 43% from field goal range and an extremely efficient 41.6% from beyond the arc.

The Washington Wizards rebuild has taken over headlines this offseason. Not only because of the talent the team already had on the roster entering the offseason, but also because of the abundance of talent general manager Will Dawkins has added over the course of the last couple months. With the likes of Tre Johnson and Will Riley joining an already young and talented squad headlined by Bilal Coulibaly, Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington, Kyshawn George and even AJ Johnson.
