Steve Settle III Brings Rookie Length to the Wizards Frontcourt
Wizards Nightly Desk · 2 h agoSteve Settle III enters the 2026-27 season as a rookie forward on the Washington Wizards roster. The 6-10, 190-pound forward out of Temple is 25 years old and not on the injury report. No jersey number has been listed for him yet.
A Rookie Arrives in Washington
Steve Settle III joins the Wizards for the 2026-27 season as a rookie. He comes in as a forward, the position the team lists him at, and he's part of the roster heading into the year. At 25, he's older than a typical rookie, which usually means extra seasoning before reaching the NBA. Washington will get its first look at what he offers once the season tips off. For now, he's simply a name on the roster with no NBA game log yet, since no recent games are on record for him.
The Frame: 6-10, 190
Settle checks in at 6-10 and 190 pounds, a frame that fits the modern stretch forward mold: plenty of length, a lean build. That height gives him the tools to defend multiple frontcourt spots and finish above the rim, while the 190-pound frame suggests he may need to add strength once he's working against NBA bodies. Listed simply at forward, he doesn't have a more specific position note attached. How the Wizards choose to use that length and mobility will become clearer once the games start counting.
College Roots at Temple
Settle played his college basketball at Temple before turning pro with the Wizards. That's the extent of the background on record for him — no additional college stats or accolades are attached to his file. For a 25-year-old rookie, the path to the NBA can look different than the usual one-and-done route, and Temple is where his game was built before Washington brought him into the fold for 2026-27. No jersey number has been assigned to him yet on the roster.
Health Report
Steve Settle III is not on the injury report. There's no injury history on file for him, which means he enters the season with a clean bill of health as far as the record shows. For a rookie trying to make an impression in his first NBA training camp and preseason, staying off the injury list matters — it means every practice and scrimmage opportunity is available to him. Nothing in his file points to any lingering concern heading into 2026-27.
What to Watch For
With no recent games and no rumors attached to his name, Settle is a blank slate heading into the season. There's nothing on the trade or rumor front tied to him, and no game log yet to draw conclusions from. The Wizards will have to make evaluations in practice and preseason settings before any of that shows up on record. At 6-10, 190, and 25 years old, he profiles as a forward the team will look to develop, with the 2026-27 opener the first real chance to see him in action.
