#3 Letting the rookies play

This was a big issue with Troy Brown Jr., who was the Wizards' first-round draft pick last year. head coach Scott Brooks thought that giving Troy sparing minutes would be good for him, but it didn't show the fans enough of his potential.

Later on in the season did we realize the potential he has to help this team, both off the bench and possibly a starter down the road. Just like any rookie, he has some flaws that can be fixed. This year, the Wizards drafted power-forward Rui Hachimura in the first round, traded with the Philadelphia 76ers for Jonathan Simmons and the 42nd overall pick, and selected Admiral Schofield.
