Self-awareness is crucial for NBA players, as demonstrated by Ja'Kobe Walter's understanding of his role with the Toronto Raptors.
However, one name that has quietly become a top trade chip for the Wizards is former first-round pick Corey Kispert. The sharpshooting wing is expected to garner plenty of interest on the trade block if the Wizards due opt to make him available for trade.
But there's one guy who might get overlooked in that conversation, and I'd argue he was a pretty noteworthy signing at the time. Considering Toronto's limited appeal to free agents, grabbing Otto Porter Jr. seemed like a sleeper move; I remember being pretty excited to see a savvy veteran and a still-solid player (at least I thought so) join the Raptors.
