    "The Wizards have begun the 2013 NBA season in familiar fashion, having lost their first five games for the third time in four years. The team's struggles have largely been tied to a league-worst offense that averages only 93.5 points per 100 possessions.

    You'd think that the absence of franchise-point guard John Wall would have torpedoed the team's ball movement. You'd be wrong. Despite a point guard rotation of two players who could very well have wound up in Europe if the Wizards hadn't picked them up, the team is averaging a superb 24 assists per game, good for third in the league on a per-possession basis.

    Unfortunately, while the Wizards' ball movement is as good as it's been in years, the rest of the offense has fallen off a cliff. Largely a result of the team's active roster rather than any particular scheme being run by coach Randy Wittman, Washington's offense has under-performed in a few key areas."
