Washington Wizards: The Beguiling Brandon Jennings

It was the NBA trade deadline Washington Wizards fans were anxiously watching to see what President Ernie Grunfeld would pull out of his hat.

Grunfeld already landed Bojan Bogdanovic who proved to be a skilled sharpshooter during the regular season, but the Wizards still needed to find a playmaker behind John Wall. Instead of going the trade route, Washington displayed patience in addressing the need.

When the New York Knicks cut Brandon Jennings after the deadline, the Wizards waited for Jennings to clear waivers.

The post-trade deadline acquisition of Jennings wasn’t earth shattering. But Washington got an 8-year point guard with starting experience – someone who was deemed one of the best young guards in the NBA not too long ago.
