Going into the preseason, it was clear the Wizards were going to need to make some moves to trim down their roster to the NBA limit before the regular season began. According to David Pick, the Wizards are close to making their first move to trim the roster down:
The Washington Wizards will soon waive Villanova's winning center Daniel Ochefu, according to source.

Ochefu had a solid performance in his first and only outing with the Wizards, which came on Thursday against the 76ers. He had 5 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists in 20 minutes of action.
