Buy low, play now: Why NBA teams should be begging the Wizards for Justin Champagnie

Kevin Broom of Bullets Forever argues that rival NBA teams seeking a reliable rotational forward should try to acquire Justin Champagnie from the Washington Wizards. Broom expects Champagnie will become the odd man out in Washington's rotation as head coach Brian Keefe and general manager Will Dawkins prioritize the development of younger prospects and established frontcourt players.

Statistical analysis from Broom shows Champagnie provides steady, above-average value by defending, rebounding, limiting turnovers, and shooting over 60 percent on two-pointers over the past two seasons. The writer suggests Champagnie could be a valuable, low-cost trade target for contending teams needing a productive bench forward.
