"With the additions of several big names such as CJ McCollum and Cam Whitmore, the hype around Washington's revamped roster continues to build with a long season ahead. Washington's not entering the year with playoff expectations, but internally, there's not one player on the roster that doesn't believe that with the recent surge of talent to join the Wizards that there's not a chance that they can't make noise in a wide open Eastern Conference."
"Both players have began to turn heads since the joining their new team and it hasn't been solely because of their talent on the court, but also because of their approach to year one. Following the comments from whom many would consider a homegrown veteran on the roster, Corey Kispert, it's clear that the Wizards rooks have already impressed him since arriving in the DMV:"
""The talent is there, and the willingness to work hard is definitely there," Kispert said. These guys don't have their cool jackets on.""
General manager Will Dawkins added high-profile veterans including CJ McCollum and Cam Whitmore to a reworked Wizards roster. The roster lacks external playoff expectations, but players internally believe the injection of talent could allow the team to make noise in a competitive Eastern Conference. First-round rookies Tre Johnson and Will Riley have impressed teammates with on-court ability and a professional approach to year one. Veteran Corey Kispert praised the rookies' talent and willingness to work, noting they remain grounded and focused. The combination of veteran additions and disciplined young players fuels growing optimism about Washington's potential this season.
