The Washington Wizards have been very active since the NBA offseason began.
Not only did the Wizards put together arguably the best NBA Draft class, but they've managed to add talent to the roster by way of the trade market and free agency.
With players like CJ McCollum, Cam Whitmore and Tre Johnson leading the likes of incoming playmakers to join the Wizards this offseason, Washington has clearly found ways to add talent this offseason.
However, while the front office has been busy analyzing the roster looking for ways to improve, they could have been overlooking one of the biggest team needs they need to address as they move forward in their rebuild.
The change in question? Head coach
Brian Keefe was named the Wizards head coach last offseason after serving as Washington's interim head coach following the firing of Wes Unseld Jr.
Keefe landed the job, but after one season in Washington as the top guy calling the shots, there hasn't been many encouraging signs that scream he could be the coach to lead the Wizards out of the bottom of the Eastern Conference.
In his first season as head coach, the Wizards finished tied for the worst record in the NBA posting an 18-64 record.
Not only did Washington tie for the most losses in the league, but when the team has already lost the season, the Wizards all but hurt themselves more winning the regular season finale against the Miami Heat,
Is Keefe to blame for that? No.
In fact, owner Ted Leonsis made it clear the Wizards would never tank as long as he owned them.
However, with Cooper Flagg in the palm of your hands, odds say that Washington could have played to lose that matchup. Then again, that's a topic for another time.
In Keefe's time in Washington, there has been nothing shown that says he could be a next great coach for the Wizards outside of instilling the confidence in Jordan Poole to be a leader on the team this past season.
Granted that could be credited to Poole's hard work.
Obviously, it's a tall ask for the Wizards to find their next Dick Motta or K.C. Jones, but they should atleast be looking at the landscape of possible candidates to ensure they have the right leader in place, especially as they continue to add talent and build a culture.
By all means, Keefe could be that guy; but until he shows a reason to believe he can be the man for the job it's fair to question if he isn't.
