Offseason questions. They’re inevitable for any team, in any sport. It’s no different for the Washington Wizards, as questions about the game plan from last year and roster moves are being discussed.

Although the questions are plentiful and often overwhelming, it does’t seem like enough are surrounding one key role player that really showed up big time late in the season. This player is 13-year veteran Drew Gooden.

He’s often been scrutinized for his inconsistency, especially within this past year. Despite this, I truly feel like he’s a great part of the team, and came through in big ways during the playoffs. Many Wiz fans cringe when the thought of him coming back is brought up, and absolutely don’t want anything to do with Gooden.

There are, however, plenty of reasons to sign him again for at least this upcoming season.
