The Washington Wizards made a huge leap last season as that back court finally came to fruition with John Wall making his 1st All-Star appearance and his partner in crime Bradly Beal of Chaminade Prep HS in St. Louis due to make one real soon. The bad news is Beal has a fractured wrist and will be out through December and that might have been tough sledding for the Wizards a couple of years back but not now.

Will the Wizards live up to expectations and win the Southeast as the Highlight Factory, It's a Buzz Life, Heat Gang, and the O-Magic all might have string cases to grab the throne! It's start in the DMV with the Wiz Kids with Point God and Raleigh, North Carolina native John Wall and nothing else!

#WizKidsDC 2014-15 Vitals

Franchise Piece (s): John Wall, Bradley Beal, Ne Ne Hilario, Marcin Gortat

Building Blocks: Otto Porter Jr., Bloodline Glen Rice Jr., Martell Webster

Top White House Chaperon (Wiz Kids top rookie): N/A traded #46 G Jordan Clarkson to Lakers

Top Free Agent: Kris Humphries

Sleeper Player (s): Bloodline Glen Rice Jr. as he comes off the 2014 Sin City NBA Summer League M.V.P. shooting from Henderson, Nevada. He will get major minute to prove his worth with Beal out for an extended period of time.

Trade Piece (s): Maybe DeJaun Blair as that front line might not have minutes for everyone.

#WizKidsDC 2014-15 Outlook 1st in the Southeast

With All-Star Point God John Wall at the point and Bradley Beal out players like Rice Jr. Otto Porter Jr., Garrett Temple, Martell Webster, and even old-man game Andre Miller will be vital to the Wiz Kids D.C. success early. They need all hands on deck but lead man Randy Wittman has to be in good spirits knowing Wall-Star is captain of the ship.

Paul Pierce comes over from the Wizards and like Kobe Bryant he thinks his game is still serviceable. We will soon find out as I think he is waiting for that truck with "WM" on the side that comes to your spot once a week. Former "Hoya Paranoia" Star Otto Porter Jr. has to elevate his game and I am sure he will as if he performs he could push Pierce right out of a starting slot. Watch the versatile Martell Webster as he is the best shooter outside of Beal on the roster along with Rice Jr.

That front line can be All-Star at times as Marcin Gortat gets his off-season Duffel Bags to go with his consistent game in the paint. Ne Ne Hilario is a force but he can be a whodini act on some nights. The Wiz Kids D.C. needs to make sure Ne Ne battery is charged and has good life for 82 and he needs to stay out of the training room. Kim K's ex "K-Humps" should help that front line immensely with his blue-collar like skill set who eats glass rather well!  

Both DeJuan Blair and France's Kevin Seraphin gives the Wiz much-needed depth on that front line and they should be more than solid on that 2nd unit. Blair has become a poor man's Rick Mahorn as his game has evolved into more of an enforcer in the painted-area!

If the Wiz Kids D.C. come out firing on all cylinders and Rice Jr. Porter, Pierce, and Webster can make up for the loss of Beal they should be right at the top of the Southeast. They lose Wall-Star for any length of time...here comes the Hawks, Heat, and Hornets as well as the O-Magic!
