Tommy Sheppard is Proving He Belongs as Washington Wizards Interim General Manager

Even though the Washington Wizards have not yet named a permanent replacement for long-time general manager and not-so-recently fired Ernie Grunfeld, they still found themselves involved with the NBA’s latest blockbuster trade. And it is just the latest in a series of impressive moves from Tommy Sheppard. It’s time to give some props to the man running things in Washington.

Since the Washington Post reported that Ted Leonsis wouldn’t be hiring a new president before the start of free agency, effectively handing over the reins to Tommy Sheppard, Sheppard has been busy.

In just over a week, Sheppard has added a skilled scorer with an elite frame in Rui Hachimura, acquired a second-round pick and stole Admiral Schofield with the 42nd pick in the draft.
