It took Tre Johnson 10 minutes to prove the Wizards made the right decision

"The Washington Wizards start to the regular season couldn't have gotten off to a worst start. Washington's defensive struggles to slow down the Milwaukee Bucks shooting from deep put the Wizards in a hole early that caused head coach Brian Keefe to immediately look for a spark from his bench early on. The Wizards early offensive struggles from the starters not named Khris Middleton added to their lapses on defense and quickly the Wizards found themselves down by double digits."

"but that he may not be coming off the bench for long. Johnson took no tim eto show exactly why the Wizards selected him with their top pick and immediately placed high expectations on the incoming guard. In 10 minutes of play, the Texas product knocked down 4/6 field goal attempts, including 3/4 from beyond the arc adding up to 11 points off the bench for Washington."

The Washington Wizards opened the regular season with defensive lapses that allowed the Milwaukee Bucks to score heavily from deep, putting the team in an early hole. The starters outside of Khris Middleton produced limited offense, compounding the defensive problems and creating a double-digit deficit. Bench rotation was used early as coach Brian Keefe sought a spark. Rookie guard Tre Johnson provided that spark, delivering 11 points in 10 minutes with 4-of-6 shooting and 3-of-4 three-pointers. Johnson led the team in scoring at halftime and delivered back-to-back triples that showcased his shooting and playmaking. The early performance suggests Johnson could transition into the starting lineup as he develops.
