Also, while offseason rumors regarding players' health and fitness are usually played up a bit, news on John Wall's current athletic state have been all positive. Perhaps the star point guard has taken his extended absence as an opportunity to become a better shooter from range, a part of his game that has never been any better than average. Furthermore, Wall will have a lot of doubters to prove wrong as he returns, not only needing to prove he still has star talent, but also that the Wizards are ready to be relevant in the Eastern Conference.
Will Bradley Beal and a refreshed John Wall be enough for the Wizards to make some noise in the East next season? I believe so, and the best version we've ever seen of John Wall will be a huge reason why that is the case.
