The Washington Wizards signed Chasson Randle to a non-guaranteed contract on Tuesday, giving the team at least one true backup point guard behind John Wall. The move also allows the Wizards to fulfill the minimum number of players on a roster of 14 after last weekend’s trade shipped out two players for one.
Following the trade with the Phoenix Suns over the weekend, the Wizards gave up Austin Rivers as well as Kelly Oubre Jr. in exchange for Trevor Ariza. Although not a traditional point guard, Rivers had played the role off the bench to spell Wall, playing 61 percent of his minutes this season at the position, according to Basketball Reference.
