And so Preseason Ends for the Wiz.

A 4-4 record.

Here's what I think about the team:

1. Team still has a lot of offensive weapons. Defense continues to be desired.
2. Roger Mason Jr. can play in the NBA, but I'm not sure if the team needs him right now.
3. Several respected GMs from the league said the Songaila signing was great for the Wiz. Well, Darius missed the entire preseason and it'll take him at least half the regular season to understand the basics of Coach's Princeton offense.
4. Turnovers continue to stand out in the box score.
5. Health is the key word for the Wiz. The team was very fortunate that most players (except Jarvis) were available to play in 90%+ of the games last year.
6. Speaking of Jarvis, this is his year to shine. I think the organization wants to pick up his 4th year option, but Jarvis needs to prove that after 2 major knee surgeries he's still strong enough to survive in the NBA.
7. Coach needs to limit Jamison's minutes. Antawn had a very busy summer with USA Basketball and you can't take chances with what he brings to the table.
8. The Wiz will finally beat Miami this season. Only once though.
