Wizards GM: It’s harder to spend significant money for one player at the center position

Sheppard talked about different topics, including John Wall’s recovery

Washington Wizards GM Tommy Sheppard hosted an “Ask Me Anything” session on Reddit.

Sheppard talked about different topics, the entire AMA session can be viewed HERE.

This is probably his most interesting answer:

BestPGJohnWall: Many people think that the answer at center for the Wizards is not currently on the roster. How do you plan to find a center, hopefully one who is good defensively and rebounding? Is it through the draft, trades, or do you believe that one of our bigs on the roster can be the future center?

Sheppard: If you look at the way the game is played, it’s harder and harder to have significant money tied in to one player at the center position. We found it as a necessity to do center-by-committee. We’re pleased with the progress of Thomas Bryant, Moe Wagner, and Anzejs Pasecniks.
