Nene said he is willing to come off the bench next season, the Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Coach Randy Wittman told the media during Monday's exit interviews that the Wizards would utilize smaller and faster lineups next season. Such changes will likely require Nene to spend more time at center or simply spend more time on the bench. Marcin Gortat should be getting the majority of the center minutes next season, and after the team showed a willingness to use Paul Pierce and Otto Porter at power forward, it's possible Nene could be moved exclusively into a bench role next season.
