Wizards coach thinks he knows what is plaguing team

Scott Brooks

All is not well with the Washington professional basketball team, and head coach Scott Brooks appears to have an idea of what they need to fix.

Speaking with the media over the weekend amid the Wizards’ 1-4 start to the season, Brooks pinpointed the team’s transition defense as a major area for improvement. Fred Katz of The Athletic notes that Washington is the worst team in the league by that metric to begin the year.

Of course, Wizards stars John Wall and Bradley Beal had a rather different explanation for the team’s troubles, saying on Friday that some of their teammates had their own agendas.

When asked the next day about the comments by his backcourt duo, Brooks again steered the conversation towards the transition defense issue.

Washington has been a perennial underachiever in the Eastern Conference, never once advancing past the second round in the Wall-Beal era. Chemistry issues dogged the team last year as well, but Brooks seems to think that there is a much simpler basketball fix to their woes.
