Washington Wizards General Manager Tommy Sheppard did Tomas Satoransky justice by bringing him back to D.C. after a season where he found himself out of the New Orleans Pelicans rotation and on the trade block come February. Sato initially found himself in Portland, only to then move on to San Antonio which then waived him in late February before the buy-out deadline to have a chance to join a team where he could get more minutes in a contract year that had gone wrong in so many ways for Sato.
And Sato returned the favor to Sheppard by salvaging his point-guard rotation and bringing some cohesiveness to the Wizards offensive sets and some feeling of how a more organized Wizards team might emerge next season.
