6. Washington Wizards

This is where it gets interesting. A changing of the guard! Get out of here Hawks and Bucks of the world! The Wizards played inspired second half ball last season, collecting a wide array of elite scalps in the process. With a full year of a healthy and motivated John Wall the sky may be the limit for this team. The defense is solid, Martell Webster’s corner 3 shooting percentage is out of this world (look it up, out of this world!), Bradley Beal is just going to get better and better, and Otto Porter remains an enigma that could break out at anytime. Add to that weary looking but solid vets in Nene, Trevor Ariza, and Emeka Oakafor and the Wizards look to be an extremely capable team.
