What Wiz can do to better team culture: Who knows what the Washington Wizards will do in hopes of improving their roster this offseason. But there are plenty of things the returning core can do -- the primary voices in the locker room -- that goes far beyond shooting percentages, analytics and Xs and Os under new coach Scott Brooks.

The lion’s share of the responsibility for the success or failure of the Wizards is theirs. -- CSN Mid-Atlantic
