"Looking at young names like Bilal Coulibaly, Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington and Kyshawn George, Washington's fanbase have plenty of high upside prospects to keep their eyes on as the season approaches. And that's not even including the likes of newly acquired Cam Whitmore and AJ Johnson, who landed with the Wizards ahead of the NBA trade deadline last February. All that to say, the young talent on the Wizards has provided plenty of optimism about the future of the team's rebuild."
"Not only was Riley impressive, but he managed to impress enough to prove worthy of a first round pick while serving as solely a bench piece for the Fighting Illini. However, Riley hasn't only impressed the team's front office since taking the leap to the next level, but he's also impressed the veterans already on the roster. "He's a dawg," Corey Kispert said when asked about Riley. "He works his tail off. He plays at 110 percent every possession.""
The Washington Wizards feature multiple young prospects with breakout potential, including Bilal Coulibaly, Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington and Kyshawn George. Additions Cam Whitmore and AJ Johnson arrived at last February's trade deadline, increasing depth. The incoming rookie class includes No. 6 pick Tre Johnson, an explosive shooting guard expected to earn an immediate role and a strong rookie campaign. Will Riley, the team's other first-round selection, averaged 12.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists at Illinois while shooting 43.2% overall and 32.6% from three. Riley impressed despite a bench role and has earned praise from veterans for effort and intensity.
