"Not only did Washington acquire Brogdon, but they managed to land the draft pick to select Bub Carrington, who has plenty of potential on his own. However, the main reasoning the Wizards felt comfortable making the move for the Virginia product was the idea that he could be a veteran presence that could mentor the young group in Washington on the court last season. In theory, it seemed like a solid plan."
"Unfortunately, that plan assembled by the Wizards' front office and head coach Brian Keefe didn't come to fruition. In fact, it didn't even come close to unfolding how the team hoped it would. Brogdon's start to his Wizard career began with an injury that quickly sidelined him, which had seemingly become a norm for the often-injured veteran over the last couple of seasons."
Washington acquired Brogdon last offseason in a trade that also yielded the draft pick used to select Bub Carrington. The front office viewed Brogdon as a veteran presence who could mentor rookies and guide emerging sixth-man candidates like Kyshawn George and Corey Kispert. The plan failed as Brogdon began his Washington tenure injured and played only 24 games, preventing meaningful on-court impact. Washington was unable to move his contract before the trade deadline, making it likely the team will let the guard depart in free agency.
