The Washington Wizards are going to acquire a stretch four this off-season.

After playing a “modern brand” of basketball during the NBA Playoffs, Randy Wittman and the rest of Washington’s staff will look to play quicker and smaller next season. With that said, free agency will be an outlet for them to add pieces to their roster.

There’s going to be a number of versatile players available through free agency that will fit Washington’s needs. Ernie Grunfeld has the mid-level exception, bi-annual exception and multiple trade exceptions to work with.

One of those versatile players — Derrick Williams — is reportedly on the Wizards’ radar.

Derrick Williams, a former second overall pick, hasn’t lived up to the hype he received coming out of Arizona.

His athleticism, ability to space the floor and potential on the defensive end enamored NBA scouts. Unfortunately, after a rough start with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Derrick Williams never really found consistency in his career.

Last year with the Sacramento Kings, Williams averaged just over 8 points and shot roughly 31 percent from three.

While he’ll probably never live up to his draft selection, Derrick Williams would be a solid option for the Wizards, especially if they’re able to get him for cheap.

Williams has played for some of the worst teams in the NBA. He went from playing for the Timberwolves to the Kings — arguably the most dysfunctional team in sports. It’s funny to say, but the Washington Wizards have been one of the most consistent teams in the NBA over the past few years.

Playing for a coach like Randy Wittman, who’s someone that demands the most out of his players, would benefit Derrick Williams. Of course, playing along side the Eastern Conference’s best back court would help him as well.

John Wall, Bradley Beal and Otto Porter need a supporting cast around them that’s capable of running in transition and spacing the floor. Derrick Williams is both of those things.

Wall hasn’t played with a player of Williams’ athleticism since JaVale McGee. Having a lob-threat around a passer like Wall would help the Wizards insert some variety into their offense. Williams’ shooting percentages would certainly increase in Washington and he’d have an opportunity to play in a system that caters to his skills.

I’d prefer Jonas Jerebko or Mirza Teletovic, but Derrick Williams would be a solid fall-back option for the Washington Wizards. He’s only 24-years-old and would give the Wizards another young player to work with.
