The Wizards could have settled their search for a veteran presence long ago

The Washington Wizards are in the midst of their long-awaited rebuilding process and as they continue to stack young talent on the roster, general manager Will Dawkins continues to consider every avenue to help his roster compete sooner rather than later.

Washington has took an interesting approach to their rebuild with the priority of surrounding their young core with a reliable veteran presence to mentor their squad.

The Wizards tried their hand at veteran leadership in both the backcourt and front court last offseason by making the offseason move to land Malcolm Brogdon prior to the NBA Draft in a deal with the Portland Trail Blazers and the free agency signing of Jonas Valanciunas.
