Reading Time: 2 minutesRobin Lopez was signed to a one-year, $7.3 million contract from the Washington Wizards. People look at that contract right away and assume that Lopez was not worth it, but his fit with the Wizards is perfect. For one, General Manager Tommy Sheppard made it known that Thomas Bryant was going to be the starter at the start of the season. That made potential free agent big men look somewhere else. Tommy has made it clear that he sees Thomas Bryant as the future center for the Washington Wizards and he didn’t want a potential free agent...

Reading Time: 2 minutesThe media has assumed that John Wall’s achilles injury will severely impact his basketball career, but not many people have talked about the severity of the actual injury. Wall suffered a partial achilles rupture. Players like Kevin Durant have also had a completely ruptured achilles, but Wall’s isn’t as severe as Durant’s. Wall’s initial surgery was to remove bone spurs that had loosened ligaments in his foot. After the surgery, Wall fell in his house and was significant enough to re-injure the left achilles tendon. KD’s achilles completely snapped, and the entire tendon rolled up into...

Reading Time: 2 minutesMyles Turner has always been considered a borderline All-Star player with the tools to be a consistent All-Star in this league.

Reading Time: 2 minutesIt’s safe to say the Washington Wizards have been up and down the past five years. It started back in 2016-2017 when the Wizards were playing great basketball which made people believe that this team could compete for years to come. They had a great backcourt in John Wall and Bradley Beal along with a strong core. Fast forward to 2020 and the Wizards are currently in a rebuild. The rebuild started when John Wall tore his Achilles which lead to Otto Porter Jr., Markieff Morris, and others being traded. The Wizards have failed to produce...

Reading Time: < 1 minuteTroy Brown Jr. is underrated by fans around the league, including Wizards fans. Yes, he’s inconsistent but he has made major improvements since first being drafted by the Wizards. Brown is younger than current drop prospects like Obi Toppin and Saddiq Bey which really shows how young Brown is. He has a lot of potential and still has plenty of time to grow. Troy shot 48.6 percent from the corner three and 36.2 percent from three if you exclude his end of quarter/game heaves. He’s a good rebounder for a wing and isn’t a liability...
