Contract Value Index (CVI)
Skal Labissiere's one-year, $2.3M deal with Washington earns a C+ CVI, reflecting a sensible low-risk flyer on a big man still searching for consistency. The former lottery pick brings intriguing physical tools at 7-feet with shooting range that extends beyond the arc, but his track record remains spotty after bouncing between multiple organizations without establishing a clear role. At 28, Labissiere is past the developmental curve where teams typically see dramatic improvement, yet the short-term commitment gives the Wizards flexibility while providing adequate depth behind their frontcourt rotation. The contract value sits comfortably in rotational player territory without handcuffing Washington's future cap space, making it a prudent gamble rather than a foundational move. For a rebuilding franchise like the Wizards, this represents exactly the type of veteran presence that can mentor younger players while potentially becoming a decent trade chip if he rediscovers his form. The deal's structure suggests mutual understanding — Labissiere gets another opportunity to prove himself, while Washington secures a serviceable backup center without long-term risk.
