NBA Teams: 5 Franchises that could end with the worst record in the 2019-20 season

#5 Washington Wizards

John Wall is likely to miss the next season as he rehabs his way back from an Achilles tendon surgery

Last season, it was fairly apparent that the Wizards were writhing in pain ever since their main man dropped out to a crushing injury. Next in line, the complete onus to carry this team forward fell on All-Star Bradley Beal, who showed superhuman scoring skills. However, in the end, the inabilities of the Wizards support crew got the better of him as the team finished way out of the playoff picture in a conference that was wide open for the taking.

With the latest roster addition in Rui Hachimura, Beal and Co. will tip off the 2019-20 campaign without Wall and most probably, end it without him as well. Moreover, CJ Miles and Troy Brown Jr will also miss significant time due to recent injuries, making the margin for error even slimmer for the ailing Washington squad.

In all probability, if Hachimura and Beal are unable to hit it off from the very first game, they might get trampled beneath the mammoth talent reserve that the other teams hold. Then there's always the possibility of the Wizards management changing their minds and trading Beal. If that happens, expect the Wizards to tank.
