The Washington Wizards recently made some roster moves in hopes of igniting their season. They claimed JT Thor off waivers and signed Jalen McDaniels to a 10-day contract. Unfortunately, McDaniels' tenure was short-lived, as he was released before completing his deal, having averaged merely two minutes across four games. This raises questions about the Wizards' evaluation process; what initially attracted them to McDaniels and why they pulled the plug so quickly. As they continue to navigate the roster dynamics, more changes can be expected.
