Why This Trade Makes Sense For The Wizards

Let’s start with Washington, who would be giving up the face of their franchise in this move. Bradley Beal is good, but there is no way that the Wizards could pass on this much young talent.

Tyler Herro put up solid numbers in the regular season as a rookie, averaging 13.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game. In the playoffs, he racked up 16 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. He rose to the challenge when his team needed him the most.

Duncan Robinson was one of the most dangerous sharpshooters in the NBA. He is still just 26 years old and knocked down 44.6 percent of his three-point looks.

Kendrick Nunn is the unknown player in this trade, although any diehard NBA fan knows about him. As a rookie last season, he averaged 15.3 points, 3.3 assists, and 2.7 rebounds. He is the kind of bench piece that can come in and put the ball in the bucket.

Throw in a first-round pick and this trade package would be impossible for the Wizards to pass up. It would speed up their rebuild and Herro could very well end up being the face of the franchise in the near future.
