Fantasy Review For 2018/19 Season:
Season 18/19 was an official end to an era of Wizards being wannabe contenders in the East. John Wall showed up to camp totally out of shape, then he wasnt himself on a court and in the end he suffered two major injuries one by one, almost at once (they were serious, but the way that he did them, rather funny). In the wake of lost season, Ernie Grunfeld took one last shot at performing the most stupid rebuild a fan could see. He gave up Otto Porter and Kelly Oubre for free, and along with Scott Brooks decided to play injury prone Beal a ridiculous amount of 38 mpg.
Changes in the offseason:
Lost = Tomas Satoransky, Bobby Portis, Tomas Satoransky
Added = Rui Hachimura, Ish Smith, Isaiah Thomas, Davis Bertans, Moritz Wagner, Isaac Bonga, Justin Anderson
Projected Depth Chart:
| PG | SG | SF | PF | C |
| Ish Smith | Bradley Beal | Troy Brown | Davis Bertans | Thomas Bryant |
| Isaiah Thomas | Jordan McRae | Rui Hachimura | Moritz Wagner | Ian Mahinmi |
| Phil Booth | CJ Miles | Admiral Schofield | Justin Anderson | Isaac Bonga |
Positional Battles: None
Wizards have a little bit of wing talent and depth, but still there is more playing time avaiable than an actual talent.
Fantasy Relevant in standard leagues:
I don’t think he loves basketball anymore. But we don’t have to worry about that this year, as he was already ruled by Wizards Out of Season.
Imagine that he is Wizards second best player, not only on a floor, but also fantasy-wise. He provides you excellent FG% along with decent FT% and a bit of points, blocks and rebounds. It is easy to predict him inside top50 at the end of this season, because his floor is extremely high.
After being a top8 player in fantasy basketball since All Star Game, it is really worth noting that he has achieved this numbers playing over 37 minutes per game. The risk with him is obviously a potential trade, but at the end of top20 he must be too enticing to pass up. Especially since he became positive player in 8 out of 9 roto main categories, which is a very rare feature.
Could be useful with trades/injuries [or in deeper leagues than 15 teams]:
Ish Smith, Isaiah Thomas, Moritz Wagner, Justin Anderson, Isaac Bonga
Just don’t bother with:
Ian Mahinmi, CJ Miles
