The Washington Wizards recently waived guard Glen Rice Jr., which created an open roster spot for the team.

Although they have been linked to numerous names, including Ray Allen, Jameer Nelson, and Nate Robinson, the Wizards might opt to sign an NBA D-League player to fill the final roster spot.

According to Shams Charania, the Wizards are interested in Damion James, who played for Washington during preseason:

Washington has played Otto Porter and Martell Webster at the backup small forward spot, but neither of them have necessarily took advantage of their opportunity.

Webster hasn’t played productive basketball since undergoing his third back surgery this past summer, while Porter has struggled to consistently play well. Both have struggled over the past few weeks and have been largely invisible on the court.

J.Michael of CSN Washington recently noted that the team might make a “move to fix this void”, and it looks like Damion James might be the player to fill the final roster spot.

James most recently played for the San Antonio Spurs and the Wizards’ preseason team.

He performed well for Washington in the exhibition match ups, but Rasual Butler was given the chance instead. Personally, I thought James should’ve gotten the contract over Butler, given how well he played during preseason. Of course, Butler has become one of the league’s best three point marksmen and Washington has gotten the most of the signing.

Still, James is an athletic wing and he fits into Randy Wittman‘s system quite well. He’s capable of playing multiple positions, can run along with John Wall, and excels on the defensive end of the floor.

If Damion James does get a call-up from the Washington Wizards, it will be on a 10-day contract. There are a number of other teams interested in James, including the Clippers, so we’ll just have to see if he ends up in the nation’s capital.

Damion James is averaging over 18 points and nearly 11 rebounds per game for the Texas Legends this season. If Washington doesn’t scoop him up, someone else will.
