The Washington Wizards announced the signing of small forward Alan Anderson on Sunday.

Anderson is among the numerous offseason moves the team has made in order to become more versatile and wing-oriented. He joins the Wizards after playing six seasons with three teams — the Charlotte Bobcats, Toronto Raptors and Brooklyn Nets.

The 6-foot-6 Anderson, who agreed to terms on a contract with the Wizards on Tuesday, has averaged 7.9 points per game and is a career 34.6 percent 3-point shooter.

“Alan has an all-around game that complements the other players on our roster and gives us another veteran at the small forward position,” general manager Ernie Grunfeld said in a statement. “His energy, hustle and defensive ability have defined his career and we’re looking forward to him bringing those skills to our team.”

After signing Anderson, Gary Neal and trading for Jared Dudley, plus re-signing Drew Gooden, the Wizards are at the maximum of 15 guaranteed contracts.
