Over the past few games, the Washington Wizards‘ bench – which is 29th in scoring and last in assists – has barely been cracking double-digit points.
Trey Burke, whom the Wizards acquired for virtually nothing this past summer, has struggled to solidify his role with the team as the backup point guard. At the beginning of the season, Burke focused on facilitating, playing a more pass-first role.
With the team needing a boost in scoring, Burke has become more aggressive offensively, looking to shoot the ball more often than he did when the season began.
