There is a reason some of the NBA 's worst teams are continually bad. Sure, injuries and bad luck play a role, but more often than not it is because the organization doesn't know how to work the draft.

Kentucky big man Anthony Davis is considered the prize of a deep draft, and the Wizards possess the second-best odds at winning the No.

Craig Stouffer notes that the Washington Wizards haven't seemed to be actively looking for a new head coach, though there appears to be a bit of guess work involved.

While it would be surprising if the Wizards didn't use the amnesty clause Andray Blatche , there has been some speculation that he may stick around for another year.

There will be plenty of solid player available via free agency this summer, both restricted and unrestricted, but BNIE doesn't think the Wizards are ready to "blow all their powder in one go" just yet.

There will no longer be a big 3 in Miami next year. Miami's owner pretty much conceded after the new CBA was agreed upon that it will be almost impossible to keep all 3 and have a GREAT team.

Editor's Note: The 2012 NBA Draft is just around the corner, and that means it's time to start looking at this year's prospects.

Mack was simply handling his responsibilities as a rookie, but he admitted that he didn't have to endure too much hazing in his first year with the Wizards.

For the next few weeks, we're voting on the top Wizards quote of the year, bracket-style, in a little something we like to call #QUOTESANITY . In this installment, Flip Saunders compares the Wizards to the Toon Squad and then mistakenly gets accused of liking white players.

The Wizards went into the offseason on a high note on a six game winning streak, tanking be damned.

Wizards fans know that Jordan Crawford takes a lot of bad shots . But Michael Lee has identified the shot that is by far and away Crawford's worst.

With these player profiles we'll have a few of our staff writers grade each individual player's performance during this past season and project their futures going forward into next season and beyond.

Depending on what the Washington Wizards do with Andray Blatche and Rashard Lewis , they could have around $12 million of salary-cap space to spend this summer.

Depending on what the Washington Wizards do with Andray Blatche and Rashard Lewis , they could have around $12 million of salary-cap space to spend this summer.

This is a feature on Chris Paul , who has led the Clippers to two comeback victories in three games against the Grizzlies , but Wizards fans will be happy to read that assistant coach Sam Cassell and John Wall attended Game 3 of Clips-Grizz together, just to watch how Paul runs a playoff team.

There couldn't have been a better time to be John Wall than last summer. Fresh off his rookie season with the Wizards and with the NBA headed for a protracted lockout, Wall had little to do but enjoy the perks of being a pro basketball player.

The end of the season brought hope to the Wizards Faithful. John Wall played better, Kevin Seraphin showed promise, and we all saw the impact Nene had on the team.

I'm back after a one-day sabbatical, thanks to Mike for filling in. We've got a couple playoff stinkers and an important development in John Wall's young career to get to.

The final details have not been worked out, but when the list of teams is released for the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas this summer, expect the Wizards to be on it, according to two league sources with knowledge of the situation.
