Evaluating Jarell Eddie's rookie year and if the Wizards should bring him back next season

Did the first-year shooting guard show enough this season to earn a spot on next year's roster?

Ernie Grunfeld gave Jarell Eddie quite the Christmas present, didn't he? Just two days before Yuletide, the Wizards GM offered the 24 year old shooting guard a 10 day contract based on a brief stint in the D-League where he averaged 18 points and four three-pointers a game on 53/52/94 shooting splits. Eddie returned the favor just two days later in a game against the Brooklyn Nets. With Bradley Beal, Gary Neal, and Alan Anderson out due to injury, Jarell found himself part of an 8-man rotation in just his second NBA game.
