Washington Wizards

Ownership Rating: 8.5 (Missed the playoffs for the first time last season and will miss again this year. Their true rating will show with how they get out of the current pickle they are in)

Studs: Bam Adebayo has become more well-rounded as a player and should settle in as a perennial Top 20-30 guy. Unfortunately not sure we can ever count on Kawhi again.

Prospects: Why aren't the Rockets playing TyTy Washington more? Dude is WAY better then Daishen Nix. I think he is going to be pretty good. 

Decisions: Probably too late to make moves to compete and does not own their own 1st rounder so their decision is much bigger with their entire direction in play. 

Good News: Miles Bridges and the Hornets are at least talking again. Kawhi is playing a little more often. Wiseman scored 30 in a game.

Bad News: So many moves have backfired that you have to feel bad for kkuster. Bridges screws up right after he gets extended. Kawhi's recovery has been SLOW. Wiseman's development has been SLOW. And although Vanderbilt has played well this year it looks like WAS gave up a high lotto pick to get him due to all of the misfortune. 

Outlook: This team is due for some good karma. They have a lot of talent but the amount of bad luck could cause a good owner to spiral. Hopefully kuster sticks with it because with some of that good karma they could realistically compete next year or get a fun rebuild started.
