Ryan Rollins draws Washington Wizards's aggressive hedge & help scheme — hedges hard on ball screens and rotates aggressive help from the weak side.

Primary assignment projects to Bilal Coulibaly (strong defender, 82 Perimeter D), Anthony Davis secondary, with Deandre Ayton as the low-man/help.

He's cold — 10.6 pts a night over his last 5 (-12.1 vs season). Model lines Rollins at 20.8 pts (range 17.6–24) vs a 22.5 line — an uphill case to clear it (31%).
