It’s been such a long time since the Washington Wizards could be ranked among the top-10 teams in the NBA. The additions of Paul Pierce, Kris Humphries, and DeJuan Blair will give the Washington Wizards some much needed depth, while the development of both John Wall and Bradley Beal has put the team back on the map.

After not playing a single regular season game on national television since 2010, the Washington Wizards have earned 15 national TV games and a feature on NBATV’s Real Training Camp series after defeating the Chicago Bulls in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.

Marc Stein currently has the Washington Wizards ranked above the Toronto Raptors, Memphis Grizzlies, Houston Rockets, Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat, and other playoff caliber teams.

The season is almost here, guys. Positive pixels are nice, but it’s almost time for the Washington Wizards to make it happen on the court.
