I remember that team very well. Legler shot .522 from three for the season, which would explain a lot of the astronomical eFG. (It was also Brent Price's best year - he shot .462 from three.)

remember that team as well. Didn't 77 lead the league in FG% that year?
Easily the best Bullets/Wiz team of the 90s. 'Team of the future'.
Yep, Muresan led the league in both 95-96 and 96-97. in 95-96, he had a PER of 21.0 and a DReb of 24.7%. Curse you Billy Crystal!!!!!
Technically, "Team of the Future" was applied to the '96-97 team that played the Bulls so tough in the Playoffs. Problem was, that team had already lost Brent Price & Jim McIlvaine to ridiculous FA deals, and effectively lost Legler due to his injury. They did get Webber back from an injury that cost him most of the '96 season - which more than made up for those losses in the short term, but if they could have kept the team from '96 together, they might have been so much better.....
