3. Jonas Jerebko

Jerebko would be a great signing for the Wizards. He is a power forward who can both shoot the long ball and put the ball on the floor to create for himself. Jerebko would be most valuable in the pick-and-roll game with All-Star point guard John Wall. He presents the options to roll or to pop for an outside shot, which Wall has never had the benefit of playing with in his career thus far.

Last season, Jerebko was traded halfway through the season from Detroit to Boston. The move would help his production as he finished the year averaging 7.1 points and 4.8 rebounds. The statistics aren’t one that would impress you immediately, but it is his ability to shoot from outside that would demand the respect of opposing defenses and would open the floor for John Wall and others.
