If the plan is to play Washington WITH a center (here we go again) he’ll have to play a certain way. Not here to say he can’t, but not vouching for him in that role, either.
I think there is some value to him playing some small ball 5. I also think he is fine playing the 4. He can definitely handle it defensively. I also like the idea of a frontcourt of Maxi/Washington. I think for a team with holes at both 4 and the 5, he makes a lot of sense.
