Though Wizards coach Randy Wittman hasn't confirmed as much, Humphries looks poised to displace Nene Hilario as the team's starting power forward this season, Jorge Castillo of the Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Humphries isn't on par with Hilario as a scorer or rebounder in the low post, but Humphries' willingness to expand his range out to three-point line during the preseason appears to align better with Wittman's desire to employ a "pace-and-space" lineup that would keep four players with capable three-point strokes on the court. It's possible Wittman ends up switching things up if the lineup fails to gain much traction in the early going, but with Humphries' minutes and three-point attempts likely to rise with the change in offensive philosophy, he'll make for an interesting late-round target in deeper leagues.
