The Wizards signed guard Delon Wright to a two-year, $16 million contract, which is likely to be money well spent.
Over his seven NBA seasons, Wright has established himself as a solid player in the “about average” range. His best role is as an off-the-bench combo guard who plays some PG and some SG depending on who else is on the floor.
Never a high-usage player, Wright went ultra-low usage last season for the Atlanta Hawks — just 11.8%. That was a career low.
It wasn’t all because of Trae Young, either. While Wright’s usage rate when on the floor with Young was a paltry 6.
