Perhaps the most surprising thing about the Washington Wizards‘ regular season was Rasual Butler‘s random resurgence.
After he received a training camp invite, Butler beat Xavier Silas, Daniel Orton and Damion James for Randy Wittman‘s final roster spot.
With Martell Webster out following his third back surgery, the Wizards were looking for a shooter.
Butler had apparently played well during training camp, and once the season started, he became Washington’s primary backup small forward behind Paul Pierce.
