The previous Washington Wizards regime struggled in a variety of aspects of NBA front-office decision-making. Their overall vision, execution, draft selections, and free agency moves left plenty to be desired. These have often been bandied about by Wizards fans and analysts alike. However, one under-discussed aspect that the Wizards need to improve on is finding value on the margins. One of the best ways to do that is by targeting undrafted players.
The Washington Wizards have historically been weak in finding undrafted gems and developing them into valuable players. Even in the rare times when opportunity strikes and lands them Ben Wallace, they manage to fumble it and let him go only for the Detroit Pistons to turn him into a Hall-of-Famer.
