Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[KillerLeft]

Let’s list the non- 3PT shooters on the team:

Nemby
Naji
Flagg
Martin
Gafford, Lively, Morez?

I don't want to start a holy war over percentages, but PJW belongs HIGH on that list (way over Flagg) in terms of willingness to shoot (the most important thing by FAR) and lack of variety of perimeter spots from which he can effectively shoot. Flagg's shots didn't go in enough during his rookie season, but he clearly knows he has to pull the trigger, from a variety of spots and in a variety of circumstances, in order for everything work. He's going to be good enough as a shooter, possibly this season. With PJW, we're talking about standstill catch-and-shoot only, and he STILL passed up good ones on a regular basis to dribble into two defenders for no reason. Don't even get me started on Marshall, who makes PJ look as trigger-happy as Cam Thomas. 

PJW and Naji Marshall are far and away the big progress stoppers in terms of modernizing this offense, imo. I wouldn't put PJW in that category if they were building around someone like Dylan Harper instead of Flagg. I just see them as overlapping in a significant way, and that leads to me noticing what Washington CAN'T do on the court more frequently than I notice what he CAN do.
