Wizards' Jason Smith: Will come off the bench Monday
Smith is expected to move back to the bench for Monday's game against the Celtics, Candace Buckner of the Washington post reports.
Analysis:
Smith has drawn two consecutive starts in place Markieff Morris (illness) and was solid in relief, averaging 12.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steal and 2.5 blocks across 32.5 minutes. However, with Morris back to full strength and reclaiming a starting role, Smith will head back to the bench and should see a significant decrease in minutes, which severely hurts his value. Smith's role is highly volatile when he comes off the bench and he often doesn't see consistent minutes in the rotation.
