The Washington Wizards and San Antonio Spurs are reportedly interested in Giannis Bourousis, who’s considered a top Euroleague player

July 1st is going to be the busiest day of the summer for NBA executives.

The first day of free agency is going to be filled with blockbuster moves, head scratching signings and straight up confusion. This summer, virtually every team in the league has enough cap room to make a splashy move. The Washington Wizards are among those teams.

Since everyone has beaten the Kevin Durant topic to death, we won’t even bother rehashing what happened. The Wizards have to focus on other free agents, even if they are obscure.

Finding a gem in free agency could make the difference between a first round playoff exit and a trip to the conference finals.

Often times the players that make the most impact are the ones that fly under the radar; the ones casual fans have never heard of.

The teams with the best scouts, in particular the San Antonio Spurs, always find a way to get the lead on players we’ve never come across. That won’t change this summer.

According to EuroHoops, the Spurs and the Washington Wizards are interested in Giannis Bourousis.

A total of six NBA teams are interested on Giannis Bourousis and as Eurohoops can confirm the Washinton Wizards and the San Antonio Spurs are two of the suitors.

Per EuroHoops, Bourousis “was the MVP of Liga Endesa and the best center in Euroleague.” That’s kind of impressive.

Like most of you, I’ve never heard of the player nor will I pretend to know how good he is. But, l have excellent YouTubing and Googling abilities that I’ve put to the test in order to learn more about the district’s potential savior.

Bourousis can obviously space the floor. At the next level, he would probably be considered a stretch five. He also seems to have solid court vision, which is a huge plus for bigs in the NBA.

From the other things I’ve gathered, he doesn’t seem like a great defender nor someone who would excel against quick-footed bigs. That applies to plenty of other bigs, though. Bourousis’ game could be compared to Mo Speights’.

The 32-year-old apparently had interest from NBA teams after going undrafted over a decade ago, but he’s finally interested in coming over.

At his age and limited versatility, it’s hard to imagine a situation where a team will pay him a ton of money.

Like other international players did last year, such as Marcelo Huertas with the Los Angeles Lakers, Bourousis would likely take a non-guaranteed contract assuming he’ll make the roster.

If the Spurs are interested, then he must be good. I mean, it’s the Spurs…

Washington has 10 open roster spots and players see the opportunity. I would be surprised if Bourousis chose the Washington Wizards over the Spurs, but his chances of making the team might be higher in D.C.
