The Washington Wizards had one of the most active offseasons in the NBA this summer. They replaced multiple rotational players with capable contributors and more complementary skill sets.
Although Washington’s most significant and crucial move involved moving Russell Westbrook, the deal Sheppard struck to get Dinwiddie, as well as the decision to draft Corey Kispert, were both just as impactful.
Surrounding their All-Star, Bradley Beal, with players that can cover his defensive woes as well as punish defenses looking to help off Beal was the Wizards’ top priority this offseason and they achieved it with flying colors.
