Vukcevic averaged 9.4 points and 3.7 boards across 14.6 minutes per game last season with Washington. Heading into Year 3, he’ll serve as Alex Sarr’s top backup at center, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Washington eventually converted his contract into a standard deal.

While Alexandre Sarr (10/8/4/1 with one three-pointer) remained in the starting lineup for Sunday’s season finale, the rookie was limited to 16 minutes in Miami. Vukcevic played the lion’s share of the minutes at the center position, and the second-year pivot was outstanding. The 28 points were a career-high for the 6-foot-10 Wizard, who scored 14 or more in five of his last six appearances. Vukcevic’s fantasy value for next season is limited due to Sarr being the Wizards’ post player of the future. However, Vukcevic’s finish should keep the 22-year-old in the discussion for a rotation spot off the bench.

Vukcevic was able to provide some offense off the bench for Washington in a game where the team struggled to score. He scored 11 of their 43 points in the first half and was one of four players to score in double figures in a game where they scored just 89 points as a team. This is the second year in a row where Vukcevic has had a strong finish to the season, but it’s unclear how he’ll fit into the rotation next season. Still, he’ll play a lot in Miami on Sunday to close out the season.

While Vukcevic was held out of Sunday’s loss to the Celtics, Gill played 22 minutes off the bench. If he can play, the latter’s playing time is impacted by the former’s availability. Vukcevic has deep-league value when available, despite backing up Alexandre Sarr. If Vukcevic or Gill does not play on Tuesday, additional minutes may also be available to JT Thor.

While his fantasy ceiling is limited due to backing up Alexandre Sarr, Vukcevic has put together some solid performances over the past two weeks. He’s reached double figures in seven of his last 10 games, providing 12th-round value in eight-cat formats. Sarr (15/4/1/1/1 with three three-pointers in 26 minutes) will remain the priority since he was Washington’s lottery pick, but Vukcevic is worth a look in deep leagues, especially as more teams shut down key players as the regular season concludes.

Outside of Jordan Poole, who scored a game-high 35 points, Vukcevic was the only Wizard to score in double figures on Monday. That is something he has done in seven of his last 10 appearances, though his inconsistent role has made him a difficult player to trust. Vukcevic is only 22 years old and has shown plenty of flashes over the past two seasons that should encourage dynasty managers that have him stashed. Washington has three more games this week, including a back-to-back on Wednesday and Thursday.

While serving as the backup to a rookie lottery pick isn’t the best place for a two-way contract player to be on the depth chart, Vukcevic has taken advantage of his opportunities. Over the past two weeks, he has offered eighth-round value in eight-cat formats. Vukcevic is rostered in 12 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and deep-league managers needing a center should consider adding him. In addition to playing two more games during Week 21, Vukcevic and the Wizards are scheduled to play four during Week 22.

Vukcevic was pushed to the bench despite playing well as a starter on Wednesday. However, that didn’t stop him from scoring at least 15 points for a fourth-straight appearance. Vukcevic has been in and out of the lineup recently since he is still on a two-way contract. However, he has been available for Washington’s last three games and had been fantastic in nine-cat leagues with averages of 17 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.7 blocks and 2.7 three-pointers per game.

Vukcevic had one of his best games of the season on Monday and has been rewarded with a place in the starting lineup. Also starting is Carrington, as the Wizards are without Khris Middleton and Kyshawn George due to injury.

Vukcevic hasn’t been a consistent part of Washington’s rotation, but after not seeing the floor for three games, he was able to pick up where he left off in his previous appearance. Vukcevic has scored in double figures in each of his last two games and has at least seven rebounds, one steal, one block and two triples in three straight games. Vukcevic should see more minutes down the stretch of this season and have a chance to be a “silly season” star once again.
