Let me start by telling you something that you already know: losing sucks.
Ask any Bobcat fan (provided, of course, that you can find a Bobcat fan).
Losing, inevitably, breeds high draft picks. And those picks should, in theory, make teams better. For example the Wizards have selected with one of the Top 6 selections in each of the past three drafts. Odds--hell, even common sense--would suggest that they would hit on a franchise player in at least one of those drafts. The question is: have they? In those three drafts the Wizards have selected John Wall, Jan Vesely and Bradley Beal. In terms of threesomes they rank somewhere behind the new Star Wars trilogy, and slightly ahead of that Cuervo-fueled threesome you had Freshman year of college.
