2020-21 Wizards player evaluations: Daniel Gafford was the spark Washington needed, but can he take his game up a notch next season?

Sitting at 14-20 at the All-Star Break, the Wizards were desperate to jump start their season to fight for a playoff spot. The team looked as though it was destined for a disappointing season. In need of a shot in the arm, Wizards General Manager packaged Troy Brown Jr. and Moritz Wagner together as a part of a three team trade that netted the Wizards Chandler Hutchison and Daniel Gafford.

Gafford would go on to become the standout player in the trade, as he gave the Wizards a much needed jolt that helped put the team on the path to eventually becoming the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
