After a promising sophomore season, many people looked at Thomas Bryant‘s quality year as a bright spot in an otherwise very disappointing 2018-2019 season for the Washington Wizards.
Bryant finished the 2019 season averaging 10.5 points and 6.3 Rebounds on 61.6 percent field goal shooting via Basketball Reference. When free agency began this past summer, retaining Bryant was a high priority for the Wizards.
Going into this past offseason, many people in the Wizards organization looked at Bryant’s promise after his first year in Washington and thought they may have found a foundational piece to add to this young Wizards team.
