The Star The Washington Wizards Should Already Be Targeting
Malcolm Brogdon might not be the superstar that everyone expects but why would the Washington Wizards want to take the ball out of the hands of Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis?
Instead, they should be looking for a reliable point guard that can pass, handle the ball, and score when needed. He brings a blend of scoring ability, playmaking, and off-ball impact.
Brogdon is in the third year of a four-year, $85 million deal he signed with the Indiana Pacers. In October, Brogdon added two more years to his deal worth $45 million. This is a team-friendly deal for the level of point guard that Brogdon is.
Of course, that is if he can stay healthy. Brogdon is averaging 19.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game but has only played 36 games.

Since coming into the league, Brogdon has played 60 or more games in a season just twice. Brogdon has dealt with an Achilles issue this season that has sidelined him for an extended period.
Let’s not forget that the Indiana Pacers acquired Tyrese Haliburton at the trade deadline when they sent Domantas Sabonis to Sacramento. With a new franchise point guard in place, the Pacers could be open to moving Malcolm Brogdon.
