The Wizards decision to waive Ryan Rollins didn't make much sense in a vacuum as he showed some promise and was one of their few young guards with untapped upside. Now it appears they may have had an off-court reason to want to distance themselves from him.

According to The Athletic's Josh Robbins, Rollins is accused of repeatedly stealing from a Target in Virginia. It is important to emphasize the word "accused" as this has yet to play out in court. However, it stands to reason the news of this criminal proceeding influenced their decision to move on from a talented young guard.
