The Washington Wizards undoubtedly lost a lot of talent this summer with the departure of Kristaps Porzingis, Bradley Beal, and Monte Morris. The team is likely going to be worse than last season. However, that doesn’t mean that the Wizards can’t put together lineups that can succeed on the court. One lineup combination that the Wizards can rely on this season is the trio of Deni Avdija, Kyle Kuzma, and Daniel Gafford.
This frontcourt trio provided an intriguing sample size in the 2022-23 season. In 552 possessions together, lineups that featured Avdija, Kuzma, and Gafford together defended at an elite level.
