8. Washington Wizards

By: Lucas Kochevar

The Washington Wizards are one of the more lethal teams in the East. They also have one of the best back courts in the NBA. John Wall is arguably a top three PG and he is paired with Bradley Beal. Beal is a great SG that has the ability to score at will. The Wizards should really give the Cavs or Celtics trouble. Here is their projected starting line up

PG: John Wall
SG: Bradley Beal
SF: Otto Porter Jr.
PF: Markieff Morris
C: Marcin Gortrat

6th Man: Kelly Oubre Jr. 

     The Wizards PG spot is easily lead by Wall. Wall is a dynamic playmaker that makes his team better. Beal is the SG that pairs with Wall. Beal has a deadly three pointer and he has a chance to go off for 30 every night. The SF spot is Otto Porter Jr., who might have one of the sneakiest seasons. He is a player that is slept on because he never has big numbers. Consistently he does his job and will continue to do it this year. Oubre is his back up and will provide fire and slashing off the bench. The PF is Markieff Morris, who is a reliable option as well. he will provide some much needed floor spacing along with good defense. The center is Gortrat and he will surely provide solid offense, which includes his deadly screens, and average defense. He is getting older, which will be a concern going forward. Another sleeper off the bench will be former Hawks forward Mike Scott. Scott should provide great scoring off the bench if he is healthy. Watch out for the Wiz as they will try to make the ECF.
