Bradley Beal was the first domino to fall for the Washington Wizards when he was traded to the Phoenix Suns. After over a decade of mediocrity, Washington is finally entering a rebuild, and their supermaxed franchise guard was the first piece out the door. Almost nobody on the roster is safe, so expect a serious shake-up over the next two months.<\/p>\n
With the Wizards set to field an uncompetitive \u2014 or \u201cdevelopmental,\u201d to put it nicely \u2014 roster for the foreseeable future, it is my firm belief that they should take a flyer on one of the league\u2019s more disappointing young players. There is little to lose by cheaply taking a chance on former highly-regarded prospects.<\/p>\n
Note: Jordan Poole was the first player I had listed in this article before he was traded to the Wizards.<\/p>\n
