The Washington Wizards are in need of a point guard. That has Washington looking around the globe for an option and that has the Wizards interested in Shane Larkin.
Larkin just re-signed with Turkish powerhouse Anadolu Efes on a two-year deal. However, Larkin’s deal reportedly includes and NBA out, should he want to give the NBA a third try.
The 29-year-old point guard has played four seasons in the NBA with the Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics. Larkin’s last NBA season was with Boston in 2017-18.
Since then, Larkin has spent the last four years playing for Efes in Turkey. He recently led the club to their second straight EuroLeague championship. While with Efes, Larkin has become regarded as the best non-NBA point guard in the world, as well as one of the best non-NBA players, period.
