(AP Photo/Nick Wass) ASSOCIATED PRESSThe Washington Wizards seemingly have a knack for making the most out of young centers the Los Angeles Lakers don’t want. Cleveland Cavaliers guard Jordan Clarkson (8) is defended by Washington Wizards center Moritz Wagner ... [+] (21) on Friday, Nov. 8, 2019, in Washington. In fact, given Wagner’s defensive rating and his offensive rating (113.2), he has actually been more effective individually than Bryant so far this season (offensive rating of 109.0; defensive rating of 122.7). The Wizards are not competing this season, but Wagner is quickly becoming a building block for the years to come.
