The Washington Wizards did well early but are currently 11th in the East, as they've won just two of their last 10 games. Throughout the year, forward Montrezl Harrell has excelled off the bench.

Harrell was traded from the Wizards to the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday. With his new team, Harrell should have even more of an opportunity to be a crucial asset off the bench. In his last week, Harrell averaged 16.3 points and 5.0 rebounds per game while shoooting 56.8%. Harrell could continue as an intriguing Sixth Man of the Year candidate, even with his new team.
