2021-22 Wizards player evaluations: Is it time to move on from Cassius Winston?

The Washington Wizards selected Cassius Winston with the 53rd pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. Winston was a really good college point guard. Like really good. He’s been a totally forgettable NBA player thus far.

Winston missed a good deal of time early in the season due to a leg injury and it seemed to take him a while to get back to the form he displayed the previous season. He was playing considerably better basketball by the end of the season and he looked really good in the Go-Go’s final game.
