2000–01 Washington Wizards season

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because I am interested in basketball currently and I thought it would be interesting to learn more about basketball from the past. Also, I do not really follow the Washington Wizards, so I figured it would be cool to learn.

Evaluate the article
The lead section begins with a weak sentence that does not summarize the article or even attempt to. The next sentences seem to be very choppy and the first bit does not flow. There are plenty of names of the players, and minimal stats, but the lead is lacking a generalized description of the article. The content really only consists of number stats, because the lead was so heavy with the players names rather than a proper intro. The content seems to be accurate, however it is not entertaining for it is only numbers.

The article is poorly written, and does not flow or seem very educational. There are no media images just charts, which makes the article not engaging or interesting to read. There also was a whole section with only one sentence included.

Overall, the article is lacking a proper introduction with background to the team and interesting facts other than just the player's names and some stats. In addition, there could be more pictures and engaging media for the reader. The sources were listed and seemed accurate.
