Ayton, who’s averaged nearly 10 rebounds and 10 points last season, brings veteran presence and rim protection, especially with AD sidelined. Though his scoring dipped, his rebounding and pick-and-roll versatility could spark chemistry with Washington’s guards. The real win? Hardy’s limited role and the low cost of future picks make this a smart, low-risk upgrade. Now, with the center position locked down, the Wizards turn their attention to bolstering the backcourt — and they’ve got the cap space to make it happen.
