Justin Champagnie

24-Year-Old ForwardF
Washington Wizards
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Champagnie emerged as a reliable rotational forward in 2024-25, averaging 8.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.6 blocks per game, while knocking down 1.2 three-pointers per night and shooting an efficient 51.1 percent from the field and 38.3 percent from downtown. He delivered standout moments too, including his 27-point, two-steal, two-block effort in the season finale, which showcased his versatility on both ends. Champagnie earned a four-year, $10 million extension mid-season, signaling the Wizards' confidence in his role as a developing two-way asset. His efficiency and multi-category impact offer solid fantasy appeal, especially in deeper leagues or formats that value defensive contributions. However, the wing rotation is quite messy to open the season. The Wizards brought in Cam Whitmore from Houston, and Champagnie is currently penciled in as the No. 3 small forward behind Khris Middleton and Corey Kispert. It's fair to expect Champagnie's role to grow as the season progresses, but expectations for him out of the gate should be tempered. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Justin John Champagnie (pronounced sham-PEH-nee) was born in June of 2001 in Staten Island, New York. The forward has two brothers and is the son of Ranford and Christina Champagnie. Ranford played college soccer at St. John's and Justin's brother, Julian, played hoops for St. John's. Champagnie grew up in Brooklyn, where he attended Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School. As a senior, Champagnie earned first-team NYSSWA Class AA all-state honors and delivered 19.8 points per game. Champagnie then committed to the University of Pittsburgh. As a true freshman in 2019-20, Champagnie averaged 12.7 points and 7.0 rebounds per game before a December knee injury forced him to miss roughly four weeks of play. He return in late January and delivered 31 points and 14 boards during an OT win over Duke. At the end of the season, the freshman was named to the First Team All-ACC squad. As a sophomore, Champagnie upped his scoring to 18.0 points per contest and shot 53.6 percent from the field. He then declared for the 2021 NBA Draft, but went unselected. In August of 2021, Champagnie signed a two-way contract with the Toronto Raptors.

Champagnie closed Saturday's 121-115 loss to Denver with 13 points (6-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and three steals over 26 minutes off the bench.
ANALYSIS
Moving back to the second unit after getting a spot start Friday, Champagnie stayed productive and nearly tallied his third double-double of the season.

Finishes season on high note
FWashington Wizards
April 16, 2025
Champagnie finished the 2024-25 regular season with the Wizards on a high note.
ANALYSIS
Washington's decision to sign Champagnie to a three-year, $6.82 million contract in March appears to be a bargain. The forward posted averages of 8.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.2 three-pointers in 21.6 minutes across 62 regular-season games, but he really turned on the jets late -- in the final five games, Champagnie produced 19.6 points, 11.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.8 blocks and 3.0 three-pointers.
