Improvements might be on the way, but right now, the Wizards are trending downward -- even in their best areas.Whats goodWashingtons tickets still beat the average cost of an NBA game, but the cost of attendance rose 36 percent over the past year, more than that of any team other than the Golden State Warriors. The main difference between the two, of course, is that the Warriors win pretty reliably. The price hikes by the Wizards have pushed them down 33 spots in bang for the buck, but the franchise is still among the top half of the NBA and across pro sports in that category (60th overall). That said, this is a young team with good guard play, and it is still a (relatively) good buy.Whats badTheyre young, they didnt grab much talent this offseason, and they have one of their top players, John Wall, coming off surgery on both knees. That isnt a recipe for winninng now, and the Wizards title track (117th) reflects that.dddddddddddd Washington hasnt invested much in the Verizon Center recently, either, though its preparing to open a new practice facility with Events DC. The lack of innovation pushed the Wizards stadium experience rank down (103rd overall, fourth-worst in the NBA). Much like the team roster, the stadium and facilities remain stagnant. In fact, the franchise tumbled in the rankings in all but one category: coaching.Whats newTeam owner Ted Leonsis brought in former Thunder coach Scott Brooks, which led to that 11-spot bump in coaching. But fan trust in Leonsis and the rest of the front office has dipped after a disappointing 2015-16 season (down 26 spots to 77th). Whats more, not only did the team miss out on Kevin Durant -- a D.C. native who played for Brooks in Oklahoma City -- but they also werent even in the picture as his decision neared. Nabbing Durant in free agency would have pushed Washington way up the player rankings. Missing out on him, plus a lateral move in signing Utah guard Trey Burke, puts the roster back quite a bit -- 29 spots, to be exact.Next: Chicago Bulls?| Full rankings China NFL Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Online Stitched Hockey Jerseys Wholesale Baseball Jerseys Football Jerseys Outlet College Jerseys For Sale Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys For Sale Wholesale NFL Jerseys ' ' '
