Wizards Bring Back Alondes Williams on an Exhibit-10 Camp Deal
Washington signs the 27-year-old guard to a non-guaranteed camp deal after he dropped 25 in a win over the Pacers last season.
Camp deal only — no standard roster spot guaranteed yet.
- Signed Exhibit-10 deal, doesn't count vs 15-man roster
- Played 4 games with Washington last season
- Dropped 25 points in a win over the Pacers
- Two-way eligibility exhausted at age 27
- Up to $75K bonus if he lands with Go-Go
The Wizards are giving Alondes Williams another look, signing the 27-year-old guard to an Exhibit-10 deal. It's the lowest-stakes contract in the book: it doesn't touch Washington's 15-man roster, and it exists mostly to get Williams into training camp while the team locks down his G League rights.
This isn't a big-money commitment. Williams appeared in just four games for Washington last season, but he made one of them count — a 25-point outburst in a win over the Pacers that's the headline line on an otherwise thin NBA résumé. That flash is presumably why the Wizards want another camp look.
What The Deal Actually Means
Here's the mechanics part. Because Williams has already burned through his two-way eligibility, Washington can't just stash him on a two-way slot anymore. After camp, the choice is binary: hand him a standard NBA contract or send him down on a G League deal.
The Exhibit-10 wrinkle is the sweetener. If the Wizards waive Williams and he then signs with their affiliate, the Capital City Go-Go, he's eligible for a bonus of up to $75,000. In practical terms, that's the most likely path — camp audition, then a Go-Go landing spot with a cash incentive attached.
So read this for what it is: a developmental flyer, not a rotation signing. Williams is competing for a job, and the smart money says his 2026-27 minutes come in the G League unless he forces the issue in the preseason.
The Fantasy Fallout
For fantasy managers, this barely registers on draft night. A player fighting for a two-way-or-G-League outcome after four NBA appearances last season isn't a roster piece in standard leagues, and nothing in this deal changes his path to real NBA minutes.
The winners here are the guards already ahead of Williams on Washington's depth chart — his signing doesn't threaten anyone's touches, so if you were eyeing a Wizards backcourt piece for late-round upside, this move doesn't dent that value at all.
The only scenario where Williams becomes relevant is a preseason so strong he earns a standard deal, or a rash of Washington backcourt injuries that opens a call-up lane. Both are possible. Neither is something you draft around.
Bottom line: leave Williams on the watch list, not your bench. Keep an eye on Wizards camp reports — a big preseason showing plus an injury or two upstream is the only thing that flips him from G League depth to a deep-league dart throw. Until then, there's nothing to add.
