If the NBA season were to start today, Daniel Gafford would be the only true center on the Wizards roster. Mike Muscala is more of a hybrid forward-center, in my opinion, and tends to do more of his work away from the basket.
Given Gafford’s track record of getting into early foul trouble and struggling with conditioning early in his career, I think it’s fair to wonder how many minutes per game he can reasonably be expected to play. Gafford played a career-most 20.6 minutes per game last season and 20.2 the year before that. Muscala has only played more than 18 minutes per game once in the last seven seasons.
