Everyone wants a chance and opportunity to show and prove their worth. The United States of America has been known to be the land of opportunity. It is hard to prove your worth and value in the NBA. However, Washington seems to be the land of opportunity in the NBA when you play for the Wizards.

The Wizards have been actively involved in the NBA when it comes to improving their teams or simply adding depth and talent to the team. The Wizards have been busy in the free agency pool as well as the trade market. The Wizards acquired Colby Jones during the NBA Trade Deadline.

Colby Jones is a 6'6 shooting guard who can play and defend multiple positions. It is often a requirement to have a dynamic wing with great size to have maximum success in the NBA. Back in the day, teams needed to have a players like Kobe Byrant, Tracey McGrady, and Vince Carter on their team. The Wizards may have found their guy with Colby Jones.

Before being traded to the Wizards, Colby Jones simply wasn't allowed to be successful or prove his worth with the Sacramento Kings. He is only averaging two points per game as he was buried on their bench. However, the Wizards took a major swing with Colby Jones and he may be a home run for them.
