Predict the Wizards Record '25-'26 season

[dckingsfan]

Okay, I think everyone knows the drill...

Your prediction should include, number of wins, ECF prediction, overall league prediction and a bonus of next year's draft pick number.

As usual, the prediction thread close right before game 2 of the season.

It’s really tough to predict this year. It really depends on how Keefe the Tank Master decides to play it. A rotation of say, Mc, Midd, Coul, George, Sarr … Tre, Whit, Bags, Riley, Jones, Watkins, Champegne could get you 30 games.

A rotation heavy on Bub, Kispy, Vuc and AJ will get you 15 wins max.

I’ll split the difference and go with 23.

14th in the east. 28th in league. Pick swap lands us #3 (Dybansa)

We sandbagged last season, taking Middleton out of the lineup. We ignored the Champagnie effect. We won't be starting this season with boat anchor Kuzma. Sarr was weak on offense. Last season, Poole had to hit hero shots from 38 feet in the few games we won.

This year, there are absolute dogs that are ball-hawkers. Kyshawn George looks like he could be all defensive material. So is Bilal. Sarr is an eraser. Watkins is an amazing defender. Dillon Jones reminds me of M.L. Carr or Dennis Johnson defensively. Cameron Whitmore is a bull who can score. Oh, by the way, Will Riley understands cutting, and he's a relaxed scorer. He has Penny Hardaway height at PG. He's Manu Ginobili meets Toni Kukoc. We also have some kid named Johnson. I understand he's a fairly good scorer. Vucevic is very solid offensively.

My head says 27 wins, but that's only because they're tanking.

A great coach can win 43 games with this roster.

[willbcocks]

21 wins.

[J-Ves]

I’m feeling bullish
23 wins
14th in East

Edits to add my predictions. Ya missed me dckings!

[penbeast0]

Feeling depressed today. I'll say 17 wins, worst in the league, then ending up picking 4th . . . in what looks like a 3 player top heavy draft.
