"Between the NBA Draft class headlined by one of the most explosive scorers available in Tre Johnson, the addition of former first-round pick Cam Whitmore and the veteran acquisition of CJ McCollum, Washington's newlook depth chart became the talk of plenty offseason conversations. The team's newfound depth, abundance of young talent, future financial freedom and draft assets at their disposal made the Wizards future seemed to be among the brighest of any rebuilding team in the league."
"However, in ESPN's recent NBA Future Power Rankings, the Wizards didn't receieve any credit for their offseason moves. In fact, in three years, it appears as if ESPN expects the Wizards to be in the same place they are now and have been for majority of the last decade; at the bottom of the NBA rankings. Washington has several young players on the roster with high upside."
Washington added Tre Johnson, Cam Whitmore and veteran CJ McCollum to bolster scoring and depth. The roster already included high-upside young players such as Alex Sarr, Bilal Coulibaly, Bub Carrington, Kyshawn George and AJ Johnson. Salary flexibility and draft assets increased the franchise's future options and optimism. Despite those moves, ESPN placed Washington at No. 26 out of 30 in a three-year projection. That low placement reflects concerns about a lack of guaranteed building blocks. Projections do not determine outcomes if the team assembles the right mix of players and coaches.
