The Washington Wizards have signed John Butler Jr. to a two-way contract, according to The Athletic. Butler Jr., a 7-foot wing out of Florida State, went undrafted in the 2022 NBA Draft but spent last season on a two-way contract with the Portland Trailblazers. While some refer to him as a center, I see him more as a wing or forward. Standing at 7’1″ with shoes, Butler Jr. has a slight frame but shows promise with his skill set. He played in six G League games last season, averaging 8.3 points, 4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 3.17 blocks. With the Wizards taking on this project, they hope to develop his long-term potential and utilize his athleticism and versatility.
