NBA players who wore the Washington Wizards crest along the way but played for three or more franchises in all — the well-traveled careers this club was one chapter of. The count is distinct canonical franchises.
Every position room Washington Wizards has passed down, steadiest first. The PF/SF room is their most stable — 2 holders across 35 years, a new one every 9.5 on average.
Four franchise-defining careers: VAL weighted by attributed tenure share, with a bounded bump for verified Hall of Fame and recorded award evidence.

Monument Timeline — who held it, season by season
1962–2026 · 2 handoffs
The holder in a season is the player with the most accumulated era-adjusted value (VAL) across attributed franchise seasons through that year — whole seasons only, never a depth-chart claim. A claim needs 3+ attributed seasons; unsettled through 1963. Relocated eras carry forward with the franchise.

Stadium, market-population, title and handle data are curated public facts (Wikipedia/Census/official league facts). Fan Interest, Barometer and reach tier are transparently derived from those facts — weighted (market 0.4, venue 0.2, titles 0.25, heritage 0.15), min-max within NBA — derived structural proxy, not a survey. No fan survey, sentiment scrape, or follower count is used.
+4 more rooms with a shorter average hold.
Room tenures, not starting jobs — the corpus has no per-season depth chart, so holders can overlap (a successor often arrives before his predecessor leaves) and the measure is how often the room changed hands. A holder is a player who produced real value for this club during his years here, which is what separates holding the room from being on the roster. Detected from per-season VAL (1962–2022 here; league coverage is complete from 1999) — rooms the corpus cannot value are not shown.
+60 more one-club men with the franchise.
+319 more well-traveled players who wore the crest.
