Anthony Gill

Anthony Gill is the kind of player a box score was never built to measure. Undrafted out of Virginia in 2016, he spent the back half of his 20s grinding through European leagues before Washington handed him an NBA shot in 2020 — and he has made himself a fixture for the Wizards ever since. He is an energy forward: sets hard screens, defends multiple spots, plays with a motor that never seems to cool, and steadies the locker room of a young rebuilding roster with veteran calm. His scoring numbers stayed modest in 2025-26, but coaches and teammates describe his worth in the language of culture, not counting stats. He remains living proof that a rebuild still needs its glue guys — the players who set the standard at practice and never need a play called to make winning easier.
