The Past:
Last season sucked. Others were surprised by our record early on, but we were performing about as well as I'd expected. And then Wenninger broke his leg. That pretty much put an end to our season, as he and Webb were the twin engines that made our team go. Without one, we simply weren't good enough. It's really a shame though, as we knew coming in that last season would also be Webb and Wenninger's last as Wizards. It's been a bit of a rocky road these past few years, but whenever we hit a high, those two were a huge part of it. We thank them, and wish them both good luck. Also making his exit was Angelo Chancellor, but more on that later.
The Present:
When planning for this season, I wanted this to be a laid-back kind of season. We really need a season where we can sit back, try new things, and figure out how to best move forward. To that end, we decided to keep Ivica Zubac and - after a quick but crazy series of events - Robert Oxford. Neither have really been given much of an opportunity to show what they can do yet, but they definitely will this year. I'll be honest, even though our roster looks pretty solid, I wouldn't expect many wins, as we might be mixing it up more often than usual. We still have our pick for n - er, I mean for a change, so yay for that.
The Future:
While it looks uncertain now, I think we have a bright future ahead of us. 6 of our 14 guys are 25 or older. The oldest of them is 28 and an expiring. The best of them is 25. We have a decent amount of young talent alongside Starr, Marsh, Oxford, and McBurney after trading Chancellor to Cleveland for Fults, Fanelli, and Lewis, as well as signing Terry Perez. And after a very solid training camp, we're even more excited to see what a few of these guys can do. This season may be meh, but keep your eyes on us anyway. Anything good that you see now will be great in the years to come.
