Anyone with even the most tangential interest in the NBA knows that the Washington Wizards have been one of the league’s weaker teams for some time. Those with a more discerning eye might have even suspected that they were intentionally giving less than their best on the court for at least the last year or two.
But of course, a team would never freely admit to such a cardinal basketball sin as tanking.
Well, no team until now. Ahead of his third year in the capital, Bub Carrington told a reporter that this Wizards team should be the best one he’s been on yet. And while the young guard’s level of confidence in this squad is surprising by itself, his admission about the team’s previous struggles was enough to raise more than a few eyebrows – and potentially even attract the ire of the league office.
