NEWCOMERS: Deni Avdija and Anthony Gill
The Wizards enter the 2020-21 with a youthful group of wings loaded with potential and versatility. The veteran of the group, Davis Bertans, is entering only his fifth NBA season. No other wing has more than two years of experience. Bertans is a known quantity – a surefire shooter whose gravitational pull on perimeter defenders is as strong as any player in the league. Hachimura enters his second season coming off an All-Rookie performance in 2019-20 and, by all accounts, a strong preseason. The others – Deni Avdija, Isaac Bonga, Troy Brown Jr., Garrison Mathews and Anthony Gill – carry varying levels of intrigue as to how and where they will fit – and what sort of progression they can make as their roles develop.
