But with Jared Dudley (Phoenix 41 starts in 2015-16) and Garrett Temple (Sacramento 43 starts in 2015-16) both moving on, there’s an opening for the Kansas product to earn more playing time in 2016-17. (3.7 ppg, 2.1 rpg) Oubre’s adjustment to the NBA didn’t come without growing pains, as the team’s first round selection in the 2015 NBA Draft played just 10.7 minutes per game. A solid shooter, the 6-foot-7 Satoransky is also capable of being a playmaker on the wing.į/G: Kelly Oubre Jr. Satoransky spent the last two seasons with FC Barcelona Lassa of the Spanish ACB, where he averaged 9.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game in all competitions last year. G/F: Tomas Satoransky (Rookie) Selected 32nd overall by the Wizards in the 2012 NBA Draft, Satoransky will finally make the move to the NBA. In his 14 appearances for the Wizards last season Thornton averaged 8.4 points in 16 minutes per game. G: Marcus Thornton (9.7 ppg, 2.5 rpg) Thornton, who played in 61 games in Houston and Washington last season, agreed to a one-year deal worth the veteran’s minimum of $980,431 in late July. He’ll back up Wall in Washington, and with the starter still rehabbing from offseason knee surgery maybe Burke gets some starts to begin the regular season. While Burke still averaged double figures in scoring last season, he didn’t get a single start on a team with significant point guard issues after starting a total of 111 games in his first two seasons as a pro. in exchange for a second round pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. G: Trey Burke (10.6 ppg, 2.3 apg) Burke was traded to the Wizards by Utah, who in July sent the 2013 first round pick to D.C. Marcin Gortat will once again be the man in the middle (Getty) A good low post scorer, Gortat has a good understanding of where he’s most effective and is also good in ball screen actions.

A 56.7 percent shooter from the field in 2015-16, Gortat’s offensive rating of 114 was tops on the team (tied with Jared Dudley).

Washington gave up a lot for Morris, including their first round pick in June’s NBA Draft, but thus far the move has been a positive one for both the player and his new franchise.Ĭ: Marcin Gortat (13.5 ppg, 9.9 rpg) Gortat made 74 starts for the Wizards last season, just missing out on averaging a double-double for the second time in his NBA career (2011-12 in Phoenix). Markieff was traded to the Wizards at the trade deadline in February, and he averaged 12.4 points and 5.9 rebounds per game with the team.

And it’s expected that with Scott Brooks now in charge, Porter could take another step forward in his development.į: Markeiff Morris (12.0 ppg, 5.5 rpg) There’s no denying the fact that Markieff was in need of a change of scenery given the way things ended in Phoenix, with twin brother Marcus being traded to Detroit before the 2015-16 season. Porter shot 47.3 percent from the field and just over 36 percent from three in 2015-16, showing that he can handle a major role within the Wizards’ offense. Washington ranked 20th in offensive efficiency, and with Wall sidelined for now Beal’s return becomes that much more important for the Wizards.į: Otto Porter (11.6 ppg, 5.2 rpg) After being a role player in each of his first two NBA seasons, Porter emerged as a consistent scoring option on the wing in year three. G: Bradley Beal (17.4 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 2.9 apg) As noted above Beal missed 27 games last season due to various health issues, which impacted the Wizards offensively as one would expect. Wall underwent a surgical procedure on his right knee during the offseason, and while he’s getting closer to returning to 5-on-5 action neither he nor the team are looking to rush things.

Wall was also fourth in the league in assist percentage (46.2), but the question now is when he’ll be cleared to return to the court. G: John Wall (19.9 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 10.2 apg) While Beal was in and out of the lineup for health reasons Wall did his best to shoulder the load, leading the Wizards in scoring and finishing third in the NBA in assists per game.
