The Washington Wizards were one of the more active teams ahead of this seasons NBA trade deadline.
Following the deadline, the players had about a week to find their footing with their new squads and some even got the chance to play the night after being dealt. And if you're anything like me, then you may be wondering, how are these former players doing on their new squads?
Well, if you're wondering that, I'll save you the trouble and give you an update on how each of the players the Wizards traded away at the deadline are doing with their new teams.
But first, here's a reminder at the players the Wizards traded away at the deadline.
Outgoing Wizards: Kyle Kuzma, Jonas Valanciunas , Patrick Baldwin, Johnny Davis, Jared Butler, Marvin Bagley III
Now that we're caught up, here's a look at how the former Wizards are doing with their new squads.
Kyle Kuzma - Bucks
Kyle Kuzma has suited up for four games with the Milwaukee Bucks, and he's started in three of them. The Utah product has seemingly picked up where he left off with the Wizards averaging 16.3 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists, while shooting 42.3% from field goal range and an abysmal 22.2% from three.
Kuzma's inefficiency has continued, but he has seemingly provided the spark on the wing as a younger piece that the Bucks were hoping to find.
Jonas Valanciunas - Kings
Jonas Valanciunas was dealt to the Sacramento Kings the day prior to the trade deadline which gave him the ability to suit up on the same night that the league dealt with multiple chaotic deals.
The big man has suited up in five games for the Kings and in those games, he's seen his minutes drop nearly five minutes per game since suiting up for the Wizards. Averaging 6.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, it seems that Valanciunas will simply serve as a backup big for Domantas Sabonis in Sacramento and suit up only as needed.
Jared Butler - 76ers
Jared Butler showed plenty of flashes with the Wizards this season, and at times he seemed like he could've been a sneaky find for Washington. Undoubtebly, Darryl Morey and the 76ers had similar interest in the young guard which led to them offering a first-round pick for the Baylor product; a deal Washington couldn't turn down.
Since joining Philadelphia, the versatile guard has played in three games and started in one. Through those matchups, Butler is averaging 10 points, 4.7 assists and 2.7 rebounds as he continues to make a case to find minutes in the Sixers rotation.
The rest of the outgoing Wizards have yet to suit up for their new squads which leaves us with only these three players to review. Nonetheless, as the former Wizards continue to find their footing with their new squads, it'll be interesting to see how they perform down the back half of the season.
