During Washington's first full season in Dallas, he averaged 14.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks in 32.2 minutes across 57 regular-season appearances. On a per-game basis, that resulted in a ninth-round finish in nine-category leagues, making him a serviceable mid-to-late round fantasy asset. He shot 38.1 percent from beyond the arc for the second-highest mark of his career, and he saw plenty of usage with the Mavericks dealing with a ton of injuries and personnel changes due to the Luka Doncic trade that saw Anthony Davis arrive in town. Things are certainly much more complicated heading into 2025-26. Armed with the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, the Mavericks quieted an uneasy fanbase by selecting Cooper Flagg, considered by many to be a generational player. Flagg is penciled in to start at small forward, while Anthony Davis will shift to the four to allow Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively to hold down the fort at center. Washington's minutes and usage will inevitably take a hit, though he's likely to be a sixth man for the team, which could keep his minutes in the 20s. There are worse players to take with a late-round pick, but Washington's ceiling isn't nearly as high in 2025-26.
