Why Malcolm Brogdon Is The Right Target
If this happens, Malcolm Brogdon seems like a good fit for the Washington Wizards.
Brogdon has experience playing with a productive big man. He can set up Porzingis in a position to be successful. He is a strong pick-and-roll ball handler mainly because of his decision making. Brogdon is averaging 2.1 assists per game this season but is under two a game for his career.
For his career, Brogdon is scoring 15.5 points per game. Those numbers have gone up over the previous two seasons which means he can score when needed but will not take shots away from Beal. What is his biggest contribution to the Wizards? It would have to be his three-point shooting.
Brogdon is a career 37.6% three-point shooter. He is not breaking any records but Brogdon has the ability to knock down an open shot and can create his own along the perimeter.

This season, the Wizards rank 25th in the league shooting just 34.2% from deep as a team. Brogdon brings a bit of firepower from deep and can draw attention to open others up.
The Washington Wizards are not in need of a generational superstar. They have Beal on the roster and Porzingis is fitting in well.
