Jordan Poole's performance as a shooting guard last season averaged 16.5 points per game with a 31% three-point shooting rate, while his transition to point guard yielded 20.8 points per game and a much improved 36%. This clear disparity in performance indicates Poole's emergence as a more effective lead guard in Brian Keefe's system, highlighting how positional play significantly influences player output in the NBA.
Jonas Valanciunas, having signed a three-year, $30 million deal, is expected to be the starting center for the Wizards. Valanciunas will bring consistency, physicality, and veteran leadership, having not come off the bench since 2019, in addition to his ability to space the floor. His experience will be invaluable for young players in the roster, making him a critical addition to Washington's lineup.
