The Washington Wizards added multiple swingmen to their training camp roster, including Xavier Silas, Damion James, Rasual Butler, and it looks like they’ll add a guard to the mix. According to Sportando, the Washington Wizards will sign Vander Blue to their training camp roster:

Washington added John Wall‘s former college teammate, Daniel Orton, to their camp roster recently, but they needed to add a guard. Wall and Andre Miller likely won’t play major minutes during preseason, so it was important for the Washington Wizards to secure another guard for training camp.

Vander Blue had a successful college career at Marquette, but hasn’t been able to find a home in the NBA. Blue had a stint with the Boston Celtics this past season.

The Washington Wizards have one roster spot open and currently have 19 players attending training camp. Washington could use another backup guard and Vander Blue will have a legitimate shot to make the final roster. As I previously stated, Wall and Miller won’t play much in the preseason, so Vander Blue should get a real opportunity to show coach Randy Wittman what he can do on the court.

The Wizards have one spot open for training camp.
