In PPA, is average, higher is better and 45 is replacement level :. For example, look at Isaac Bonga, who followed a promising with a dud season in The Wizards decided not to extend the qualifying offer, which makes him an unrestricted free agent. Washington still needs a starting PG and a reserve guard with some size — especially if they follow through with the reported plan of starting Caldwell-Pope at SF.
It seems likely that Harrell or Kuzma or both could end up elsewhere once the offseason truly begins. The team has significant needs, and those are likely the trade assets most valued by other teams. With the five-team deal that sent Westbrook to L. That means, for the first time since, well, at least the turn of the century, the Wizards finally have depth at every position on the floor.
